Community Phone vs. Verizon

Verizon is a legacy telecom giant that offers cell phone service nationwide. They also offer home phones, but are transitioning to internet-based phone service. That means that if the internet goes down, calls don’t go through. Community Phone is a phone network that does not require internet and automatically blocks spam calls.
