Reliable home phone service in Santee, CA that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Santee, 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 Santee, 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 2,222 seniors in Santee 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 Santee residents to cell towers. And Santee is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Santee, covering 16 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Santee to provide strong coverage across the city.
