Reliable home phone service in Clearwater, FL that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Clearwater, FL. 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 Clearwater, FL 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 6,666 seniors in Clearwater 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 Clearwater residents to cell towers. And Clearwater is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Clearwater, covering 26 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Clearwater to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Clearwater, not just the most populated zip codes like 33767.
Landline phone service usage in Clearwater is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 22.8% of Clearwater's 116,946 people are over the age of 65, which means about 17,331 senior citizens in Clearwater still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 5,333 Clearwater residents completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Clearwater residents. 17.10% of Clearwater's 48,211 households do not have the internet at all, which means 8,244 households can't use internet-based landline service.
