Reliable home phone service in Louisville, KY that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Louisville, KY. 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 Louisville, KY 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 23,373 seniors in Louisville 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 Louisville residents to cell towers. And Louisville is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Louisville, covering 325 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Louisville to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Louisville, not just the most populated zip codes like 40475, 42101, 41042.
Landline phone service usage in Louisville is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 15.2% of Louisville's 615,067 people are over the age of 65, which means about 60,769 senior citizens in Derby City still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 18,698 Louisvillians completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Louisvillians. 14.2% of Louisville's 251,741 households do not have the internet at all, which means 35,747 households can't use internet-based landline service.
