Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Ontario, 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 Ontario, 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.

Landline phone service usage in Ontario is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 9.5% of Ontario's 197,886 people are over the age of 65, which means about 12,219 senior citizens in The Loyalist Province still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 3,760 Ontarians completely rely on landlines for their phone service.

Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Ontarians. 11.50% of Ontario's 50,599 households do not have the internet at all, which means 5,819 households can't use internet-based landline service.

According to survey results from Pew Research, "25% of people 65+ report never going online". That means that 4,700 seniors in Ontario 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 Ontario residents to cell towers. And Ontario is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Ontario, covering 50 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Ontario to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Ontario, not just the most populated zip codes like 91761, 91762, 91764.
