According to survey results from Pew Research, "25% of people 65+ report never going online". That means that 22,751 seniors in Mesa 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 Mesa residents to cell towers. And Mesa is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Mesa, covering 136 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Mesa to provide strong coverage across the city.
