Reliable home phone service in El Paso, TX that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in El Paso, TX. 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 El Paso, TX 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 21,478 seniors in El Paso 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 El Paso residents to cell towers. And El Paso is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in El Paso, covering 1013 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in El Paso to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of El Paso, not just the most populated zip codes like 79936, 77494, 75034.

Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 12.5% of El Paso's 687,287 people are over the age of 65, which means about 55,842 senior citizens in The Sun City still use landlines.
