If you're looking for traditional landline phone service in Michigan the type of phone service provided through copper wires and phone jacks in your wall you won't be able to find it in Michigan for much longer.
The main phone service providers in Michigan are Verizon FiOS, Xfinity, RCN, and Spectrum. None of these traditional providers offer copper wire-based landline phone service.
Instead, they offer internet-based VoIP (voice over internet protocol) service; that means if your internet is slow or goes down (or you don't have internet), you can't use your phone.
In fact, by a 2019 FCC order (FCC Order 19-721A), traditional landline phone service will not be available anywhere in the country starting on August 2, 2022. All copper wire landline services provided by traditional carriers in the country will be replaced with internet-based services, such as FiOS or other VoIP providers.
Instead of copper wire or internet-based phone service, Community Phone provides landline phone service in Michigan through your local cell towers.
In Michigan, there are 659 cell towers located throughout the state. Community Phone will connect your landline phone to the cell tower with the strongest connection.
According to cellularstatus.com, AT&T has strong coverage in Michigan. In fact, AT&T covers 98.81% of Michigan, while T-Mobile covers roughly 84.64%.
Overall, Michigan has an average of 91.30% coverage across the four major carriers.
Roughly 5059.95 square miles of Michigan have access to cell coverage, meaning Community Phone service will work almost anywhere in the state.
Michigan has the 12th best cell service in the country, ahead of Colorado, New York, Texas, and Louisiana, but behind Florida.

Yes. Community Phone is the only landline service provider in Michigan that does not require the internet to work. Community Phone works by connecting your landline phone to cell towers, rather than through the internet.
No, there are no providers in Michigan who still provide copper wire landline phone service. Traditional landline phone service will not be available anywhere in the country starting August 2, 2022, according to FCC Order 10-721A.
This may have been true in the past, but not anymore. Because copper wire is being phased out across the country, providers have left their lines in a state of disrepair. That means there are frequent service interruptions, even at the best of times. It also means that during a power outage, copper wire phone service is very likely to go down as well. Major providers are much more concerned with maintaining and improving their wireless towers and providing quality, consistent cellular service, and are not interested in even maintaining their copper wire service as they phase it out completely in 2022.
