Reliable home phone service in Quincy, MA that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Quincy, MA. 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 Quincy, MA 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 3,968 seniors in Quincy 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 Quincy residents to cell towers. And Quincy is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Quincy, covering 17 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Quincy to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Quincy, not just the most populated zip codes like 02169, 02170, 02171.
Landline phone service usage in Quincy is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 16.8% of Quincy's 94,470 people are over the age of 65, which means about 10,316 senior citizens in City of Presidents still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 3,174 Quincyans completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
