Reliable home phone service in Fresno, CA that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Fresno, CA. 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 Fresno, CA 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 15,656 seniors in Fresno 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 Fresno residents to cell towers. And Fresno is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Fresno, covering 112 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Fresno to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Fresno, not just the most populated zip codes like 93722, 93727, 93702.
Landline phone service usage in Fresno is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 11.6% of Fresno's 539,862 people are over the age of 65, which means about 40,706 senior citizens in Fresno still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 12,525 Fresnans completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Fresnans. 16.70% of Fresno's 170,137 households do not have the internet at all, which means 28,413 households can't use internet-based landline service.
