Reliable home phone service in Cincinnati, OH that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Cincinnati, OH. Community Phone allows you to keep your landline phone without internet or copper wire.
In fact, Community Phone is the only landline phone service in Cincinnati, OH that does not require internet. Other service providers such as Spectrum, AT&T, and Verizon require an internet connection or a bundle package with cable or internet.
According to survey results from Pew Research, "25% of people 65+ report never going online". That means that 9,654 seniors in Cincinnati don't want their primary phone service tied to their internet, even if they do have internet.
Community Phone works by connecting the landline phones of Cincinnati residents to cell towers. And Cincinnati is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Cincinnati, covering 78 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Cincinnati to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Cincinnati, not just the most populated zip codes like 45238, 45231, 45211.
Landline phone service usage in Cincinnati is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 12.5% of Cincinnati's 308,929 people are over the age of 65, which means about 25,100 senior citizens in the Queen City still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 7,723 Cincinnatians completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Cincinnatians. 16.30% of Cincinnati's 138,696 households do not have the internet at all, which means 22,607 households can't use internet-based landline service.
