Can I change my Phone Service to a different provider?

No, it will affect your DSL service. You can change your long distance or international carrier, but you have to keep Verizon as your local carrier. DSL is put in the same category as phone extras, like caller ID, Call waiting, etc. If you cancel Verizon you lose the extras.

  • The answer to this question may now be YES. Verizon has recently bagan offering DSL without the need to have a Verizon phone. It's interesting that the prices with or without a phone are the same. This would mean that you can probably drop their phone service and keep their DSL. You could then get phone service via another provider (i.e. such as Vonage or a cable company).
