Will my voice service work in the event of a power outage? If your phone service is delivered over our copper network, you must have a corded phone in order to make or receive phone calls, a backup power source is not required. Your Fiber-Optic service requires electric power to operate – during a power outage you will not be able to make or receive calls, including 911calls, without a backup power source. Depending on your equipment type, a battery backup option is available to you. If a Battery Backup Unit is installed with your Optical Network Terminal (ONT) you may use a 12-volt battery to provide up to 8 hours of basic voice service. If your ONT has a Power Adapter, you may utilize the Verizon PowerReserve device which plugs into the Power Adapter and uses 12 D-cell batteries that provides up to 20 hours of basic voice service. Please Note: Neither of the backup power sources will power cordless phones, other devices (including those that assist customers with disabilities or home security systems), or your FiOS® Internet or TV service. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "massfire" group.
