Reliable home phone service in Modesto, CA that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Modesto, CA. 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 Modesto, CA 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 7,508 seniors in Modesto 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 Modesto residents to cell towers. And Modesto is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Modesto, covering 37 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Modesto to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Modesto, not just the most populated zip codes like 95355, 95350, 95351 .
Landline phone service usage in Modesto is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 13.8% of Modesto's 217,617 people are over the age of 65, which means about 19,520 senior citizens in the City of Great Neighbors still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 6,006 Modestans completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Modestans. 11.8% of Modesto's 71,113 households do not have the internet at all, which means 8,391 households can't use internet-based landline service.
