Reliable home phone service in Warwick, RI that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in Warwick, RI. Community Phone allows you to keep your landline phone without internet or copper wire.

According to survey results from Pew Research, "25% of people 65+ report never going online". That means that 4,232 seniors in Warwick 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 Warwick residents to cell towers. And Warwick is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in Warwick, covering 35 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in Warwick to provide strong coverage across the city. Community Phone serves every inch of Warwick, not just the most populated zip codes like 02886, 02889, 02888.
