RingCentral Just Made IP Phones FREE For Everyone!
Big news in the world of VoIP and business communications: RingCentral is now offering free IP phones with qualifying service agreements. Yes, you read that right — the same RingCentral that has historically never included free hardware is finally stepping into the game.
In this blog post, we’re going to break down what this means for you, which phones you can expect to get, and how it might influence your decision when choosing the right provider for your business phone system.
RingCentral’s New Move: Free IP Phones
For years, RingCentral has been one of the top contenders in the VoIP space. At Rich Technology Group, we help businesses find the best communication solutions every day, and RingCentral has consistently ranked in our top three most popular providers.
One common concern we’ve heard from clients over the years, however, is that RingCentral — while known for its robust features — came with a higher price tag and didn’t offer free phones. That meant businesses often faced a hefty upfront cost when purchasing IP phones on top of their subscription.
That has now changed. RingCentral is finally offering free phones to qualifying customers, and we’re starting to see these bundled into quotes more frequently, even for smaller businesses with only a few extensions.
Who Qualifies for Free Phones?
While RingCentral’s offer isn’t a blanket giveaway for all customers, we’ve seen a wide variety of businesses getting in on the deal — from those with just one or two extensions, to companies with 10+ extensions.
In the past, RingCentral would only offer steep discounts (sometimes 50–80%) on phones to ease the hardware burden. Now, depending on your contract length and number of extensions, you could be looking at completely free phones.
What Phones Are Included?
Let’s talk about the hardware — because not all phones are eligible, and you won’t be getting high-end models like the Poly CCX series for free. That said, there are some very solid devices on the list. Here are a few highlights:
✅ Likely Free Phones (based on recent quotes)
- Yealink T33G – A great entry-level phone. It’s been a freebie from other providers, and now RingCentral is joining in.
- Yealink T43U – Very popular, reliable, and commonly offered in recent RingCentral quotes.
- Yealink T53W – A bit more advanced, but still often available at no cost.
- Yealink T54W – Surprisingly, this higher-end model has been spotted going out free to businesses with 8+ extensions.
- Poly VVX 250 – A fan favorite among users, and now potentially free if it’s in stock.
- Poly Edge B-Series (e.g., B10, B20) – Designed for high-volume deployments like call centers or schools. Lower frills but still high-quality.
❌ Phones You Probably Won’t Get for Free:
- Poly CCX Series – These are premium touchscreen models that still come with a hefty price tag.
- Cisco IP Phones – While an entry-level Cisco might qualify, we rarely see demand for these from RingCentral clients.
- Poly Edge E-Series – Not typically available for free, even from providers who usually offer free hardware.
So, What’s the Catch?
There really isn’t one — as long as you’re willing to sign a multi-year contract (usually two or three years), and your business qualifies, you’re likely to get your phones for free. That’s a huge win when you’re trying to keep costs low during a phone system upgrade.
