Reliable home phone service in Miami Beach, FL that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Miami Beach, FL. 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 Miami Beach, FL 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 20,061 seniors in Miami 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 Miami residents to cell towers. And Miami is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Miami, covering 36 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Miami to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Miami, not just the most populated zip codes like 33311, 33024, 33023.
Landline phone service usage in Miami is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 16.6% of Miami's 483,395 people are over the age of 65, which means about 52,158 senior citizens in The Magic City still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 16,049 Miamians completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Miamians. 30.4% of Miami's 180,676 households do not have the internet at all, which means 54,926 households can't use internet-based landline service.
