Reliable home phone service in White Plains, NY that doesn't require internet
Traditional copper wire (POTS) landline service is not available in White Plains, NY. 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 2,746 seniors in White Plains 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 White Plains residents to cell towers. And White Plains is well-covered by cell towers; there are several cell towers in White Plains, covering 10 square miles. Cell towers have excellent coverage within a 5-mile radius, so there are plenty of cell towers in White Plains to provide strong coverage across the city.
