According to survey results from Pew Research, "25% of people 65+ report never going online". That means that 1,266 seniors in Wake Forest 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 Wake Forest residents to cell towers. And Wake Forest is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Wake Forest, covering 15 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Wake Forest to provide strong coverage across the city.
