Reliable home phone service in Riverside, CA that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Riverside, 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 Riverside, 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 9,337 seniors in Riverside 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 Riverside residents to cell towers. And Riverside is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Riverside, covering 81 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Riverside to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Riverside, not just the most populated zip codes like 92503, 92509, 92504.

Nearly 2/3rds of people over the age of 65 still use a landline. 11.1% of Riverside's 336,478 people are over the age of 65, which means about 24,277 senior citizens in City of Arts and Innovation still use landlines.
