Community Phone vs. RingCentral

RingCentral is a complex enterprise platform designed for large corporations with dedicated IT teams. Their business phones operate via the internet. That means that if the internet goes down, calls don’t go through. Community Phone is a business phone designed for small businesses who do not want their phone dependent on the internet.
