Reliable home phone service in Hartford, CT that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Hartford, CT. 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 Hartford, CT 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 3,572 seniors in Hartford 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 Hartford residents to cell towers. And Hartford is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Hartford, covering 17 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Hartford to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Hartford, not just the most populated zip codes like 06106, 06114, 06112.
Landline phone service usage in Hartford is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 11.7% of Hartford's 122,105 people are over the age of 65, which means about 9,286 senior citizens in Insurance Capital of the World still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 2,857 Hartfordites completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Hartfordites. 23.7% of Hartford's 47,722 households do not have the internet at all, which means 11,310 households can't use internet-based landline service.
