According to survey results from Pew Research, "25% of people 65+ report never going online". That means that 1,879 seniors in Texas City 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 Texas City residents to cell towers. And Texas City is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Texas City, covering 64 square miles.
