Reliable home phone service in Poway, CA that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Poway, 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 Poway, 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 2,269 seniors in Poway 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 Poway residents to cell towers. And Poway is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Poway, covering 39 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Poway to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Poway, not just the most populated zip codes like 17112, 17111, and 17110.

Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 18.40% of Poway's 49,323 people are over the age of 65, which means about 5,899 senior citizens in the City in the Country still use landlines.
