Reliable home phone service in Redmond, WA that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Redmond, WA. 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 Redmond, WA 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 1,834 seniors in Redmond 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 Redmond residents to cell towers. And Redmond is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Redmond, covering 16 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Redmond to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Redmond, not just the most populated zip codes like 33024, 33311, 33023.
Landline phone service usage in Redmond is alive and well. Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 10.20% of Redmond's 71,929 people are over the age of 65, which means about 4,769 senior citizens in The Bicycle Capital of the Northwest still use landlines. Additionally, according to recent Pew Research data, 20% of seniors don't have any cell phone at all, meaning that 1,467 Redmonders completely rely on landlines for their phone service.
Many landline alternatives require internet, but that's not an option for many Redmonders. 5.10% of Redmond's 27,083 households do not have the internet at all, which means 1,381 households can't use internet-based landline service.
