For Verizon Business Customers
Being Moved Off Copper

If Verizon is moving your business off copper toward Business Digital Voice or One Talk, your numbers can port to any provider, including VoIP Services Now from $11.99 per user per month with a 1-year commitment and no multi-year contracts.
We audit every line first: voice lines become extensions, a fax machine gets its own fax machine line, paging and alarm dialers get adapters, and dead lines are cancelled.

Quick Answer

Do you have to take Verizon's replacement when your copper lines change?

VoIP Services Now is the business phone service run by SRS Networks, a Salinas, California company operating since 1996. Your numbers port to any provider, so a copper migration does not oblige you to take Verizon’s Business Digital Voice or One Talk. Verizon lists One Talk from $20 per line (as published on their site, October 2026). Our plans run $11.99 to $19.99 per user per month with a 1-year commitment, no multi-year contracts, onsite installation nationwide, and analog adapters for fax, paging, and alarm dialers. Call (866) 601-3636.

Where They Win

When Staying with the Carrier Is the Right Call

Verizon operates a network at a scale nothing we do compares to, and their replacement products are real. They also bundle Business Digital Voice with Fios Business Internet (as published on their site, October 2026). We sell neither internet circuits nor mobile phone plans, so a company that wants one carrier for all of it has a real reason to stay.

Being mobile-first is not, on its own, a reason to stay.

The Migration

The Lines Nobody Has Audited Are Where This Goes Wrong

A business that has been with a carrier for fifteen years is rarely carrying the lines it thinks it is. There is a line for a fax machine that email replaced. A line for an alarm panel that went cellular three years ago. A line to a modem in a closet nobody has opened since the last owner. Each one bills every month.

When a carrier migrates you, the path of least resistance is to replace every line with an equivalent product. That is how a business ends up paying for eight replacements when it needed four extensions, two adapters, and two cancellations.

So the first thing we do is not sell you anything. It is walk the building with your invoice and trace what each line terminates at. Voice becomes extensions. Devices get adapters. Life-safety circuits get a specific recommendation, which is sometimes a dedicated cellular communicator we do not sell. Dead lines just get cancelled, and that costs nothing.

How It Runs

How a Copper Migration Runs, Starting with a Line Audit

  1. 1

    Inventory the account

    Match each number to its actual use and record unknown dependencies.

  2. 2

    Assess each device

    Select a proposed service only after compatibility and specialist responsibility are understood.

  3. 3

    Agree and test the scope

    Confirm connectivity, power, installation and acceptance for every retained function.

  4. 4

    Transfer and verify

    Keep existing service active through transfer and checks, then review the intended cancellations.

Mobile-First

Does a Mobile-First Team Need One Talk?

No. We offer a mobile-first app, a WebRTC computer app, and physical desk phones, and all three run on the same system. The extension travels with the person, and outbound calls still show the business number, whether the call is made from a phone in a truck, a laptop at home, or a handset on the front desk.

For anyone who would rather use the phone’s own dialer than an app, the MaxSIM add-on puts business calls and texts on the native dialer, over the cellular voice network rather than a data connection. Calls still carry the business number, and they keep working where data coverage is poor.

One Talk has mobile and desktop apps too, so against One Talk apps alone are not the difference. Against Business Digital Voice they can be: its MobileConnect app is closed to new users (as published on their site, October 2026). Either way, weigh the rest of this page: the line audit, the install, and who reads the network when a call breaks up.

Before You Switch

Do Not Switch to Us If...

Getting your internet, your staff’s mobile plans, and your phones from a single carrier matters more to you than the install or the line audit. We sell neither internet circuits nor mobile phone plans.

Your lines are purely life-safety — an elevator phone, a fire panel, nothing else. That is a conversation with your alarm or elevator vendor about a dedicated communicator, not with a phone company.

Frequently Asked

Verizon Business Alternative FAQs

Verizon is moving us off our copper lines. Do we have to go with their replacement?
No. Being migrated off copper is not the same as being obliged to buy the same carrier's replacement. Your numbers port to any provider. The migration is the strongest negotiating position you will ever be in on this decision, and the worst moment to accept the first offer put in front of you.
What are Business Digital Voice and One Talk?
Two of the options Verizon offers businesses leaving copper lines. Business Digital Voice is their hosted phone service. One Talk puts the business number on smartphones, its own mobile and desktop apps, and desk phones bought from Verizon. Verizon says One Talk does not work with fax machines, credit card machines, or certain security systems, and its copper-replacement page offers a wireless adapter for phones, fax machines, and credit card readers (as published on their site, October 2026). Being mobile-first is not, on its own, a reason to choose One Talk.
How does your pricing compare?
Our plans are $11.99, $15.99, and $19.99 per user per month with a 1-year commitment, or $19.49, $24.69, and $32.49 month-to-month, plus taxes and fees. Desk phones are available to rent with a 1-year commitment; installation is quoted separately. Verizon lists One Talk from $20 per line per month, with discounts for 10 or more lines, and charges a monthly fee for each One Talk Auto Receptionist line (as published on their site, October 2026); auto attendant menus come with every plan we sell. Compare on the total: seats, the devices you keep, the install, and what you stop paying for the lines you retire. The per-seat number alone has never been the whole bill for anyone.
What happens to our fax line, alarm line, and elevator phone?
They are the reason this migration goes wrong for people. Voice lines become extensions, a fax machine moves to a fax machine line at $13.99 a month with a 1-year commitment, adapter included, and other device lines need an analog adapter — and life-safety circuits like an elevator phone or a fire alarm communicator need a specific decision rather than a default. We audit every line before quoting. Some of them usually turn out to be dead and simply cancellable.
Can we keep our phone numbers?
Yes. Numbers port out of Verizon the same as any carrier. Do not cancel anything before the port completes — that is the one step in this project that is genuinely hard to reverse.
Why would we pick VoIP Services Now over Verizon?
On mobility you give nothing up: our mobile-first app, WebRTC computer app, and physical desk phones run on one system, the extension travels, and outbound calls still show the business number. For anyone who would rather use the phone's own dialer, the MaxSIM add-on puts business calls and texts on the native dialer, over the cellular voice network. One Talk has mobile and desktop apps and desk phones too (as published on their site, October 2026), so what sets us apart is the work around the phones. We install onsite: from our Salinas office on the Central Coast and in the South Bay, and through SRS Networks' deployment teams everywhere else. And because SRS installs cabling and switching as its core business, a call-quality fault gets someone reading the actual network path instead of an assurance that the platform is healthy.
We are a multi-state company. Should we still talk?
Yes. We sell nationwide, and onsite installs anywhere are done through SRS Networks' deployment teams. For multi-location deployments, a member of our team is onsite to roll out the system at every location you need. The honest caveat: we sell neither internet circuits nor mobile phone plans, so if you want those on the same contract as your phones, that takes a carrier.
