Community Phone vs. Verizon Business

Verizon is a cell service giant. They focus on selling the newest cell phone model to businesses in bulk. They also have a desk phone product, which requires the internet. That means that if the internet goes down, calls don’t go through. Community Phone is a modern business phone that does not require internet and has all of the features a small business needs, like call forwarding and SMS.
