Verizon FiOS® Digital Voice
USER GUIDE
Welcome to Verizon FiOS®Digital Voice
Congratulations! You are about to experience an exciting new generation of voice technology. Your new FiOS Digital Voice service
comes with many easy-to-use features that can be managed by phone, via the internet, and from your FiOS TV. You can turn on
features like Call Forwarding and Do Not Disturb, set up voice mail notication by email or text message, listen to your voice mail
messages, and review call logs.
To get started, read this guide carefully so you’ll be able to get the most out of all the new and exciting features of your FiOS
Digital Voice service. Once you set up your voice mail, check out your FiOS Digital Voice Account Manager from any internet
connection at www.verizon.com/osvoice. Log in using your Verizon Online User Name and Password. If you don’t have a
Verizon Online logon, you’ll be able to create a new one.
We hope you enjoy exploring your new phone service.
Important E911 Information
As a reminder, in the case of an electrical outage, the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) will power your basic FiOS Digital Voice services,
including 911 dialing, for up to eight hours if a fully-charged battery is inserted in the Unit. If the battery is exhausted or there is
no battery present, the Service will not function for any purpose. In the welcome kit provided by the technician during
installation, you will nd stickers with this information. We strongly recommend you apply them to your phones so all users are
aware of this possible limitation.
Please Note: If you are a TTY customer and use your Pick Your Own Area Code (PYOAC) number to dial 711 and need to
reach an emergency operator, it is possible that the telecommunications relay service operator will not be able to direct
your call to the appropriate emergency service provider. If you are a TTY customer, we urge you to call 911 to reach
emergency assistance.
Out of Service Back-Up Phone Number
FiOS Digital Voice allows you to choose a number where your calls can be forwarded in the case of an outage (e.g., a network-
wide outage in your area or you've lost power and do not have battery backup). Once service has been restored, the forwarding
will automatically be stopped.
NOTE: In the event you have enabled Call Forwarding Selective or Call Forwarding, the numbers you have set for Call Forwarding will override the
Back-Up Number. In the event you have Voice Mail activated to take your calls or have Simultaneous Ring or Locate Me enabled, your call will go
to your specied Back-Up Number.

a message after the tone, then press #." to create a complete greeting for your callers.

FiOS DIGITAL VOICE FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
General Product
1. What is FiOS Digital Voice?
FiOS Digital Voice is an advanced voice service that works on Verizon’s ber-optic network, but uses traditional corded or
cordless phones connected to your existing phone jacks. FiOS Digital Voice lets you make direct-dialed domestic calls
(including direct-dialed calls to the U.S. territories [American Samoa, Guam, Mariana Islands and U.S. Virgin Islands], and
Puerto Rico), and international calls at great low rates. (Canada calling is included at no additional cost with our Unlimited
Plan.)
You can also manage your calls, voice mail, and features through an online Account Manager and your FiOS TV.
2. What are some primary dierences between FiOS Digital Voice and traditional voice service?
FiOS Digital Voice oers a number of advanced calling features that traditional voice services do not, such as scheduled call
forwarding or simultaneous ringing on multiple phone numbers. The FiOS Digital Voice Account Manager also allows you to
access your Voice Mail messages through any computer with Internet access.
Your FiOS Digital Voice service requires electrical power to function. In the case of a power outage, the Battery Backup
Unit (BBU) will power your basic FiOS Digital Voice services, including 911 dialing, for up to 8 hours if a fully-charged
battery is inserted in the Unit. If the battery is exhausted or there is no battery present, the Service will not function
for any purpose. If your home security system is currently using a jack in your house, those same jacks can be used for
FiOS Digital Voice without impacting security services; however, in the event of a power outage, the power limitations
apply to your alarm system. The BBU will not power your internet services, television services, or computer. You are
responsible for purchasing and/or replacing the battery in the BBU.
