Reliable home phone service in Fayetteville, NC that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Fayetteville, NC. 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 Fayetteville, NC 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 6,432 seniors in Fayetteville 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 Fayetteville residents to cell towers. And Fayetteville is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Fayetteville, covering 146 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Fayetteville to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Fayetteville, not just the most populated zip codes like 72701, 72703, 72704.
Landline phone service usage in Fayetteville is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 12.0% of Fayetteville's 214,384 people are over the age of 65, which means about 16,722 senior citizens in the Ville still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 5,145 Fayettevillians completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Fayettevillians. 14.10% of Fayetteville's 82,242 households do not have the internet at all, which means 11,596 households can't use internet-based landline service.
