Analog vs.
Digital Phone Service

The home phone service you grew up with has been reinvented. Those old copper wires (analog) have been replaced with super powerful fiber-optic lines, delivering full-bodied sound, intelligent calling features and incredible reliability through Fios Digital Voice.

What is digital phone service?

Digital phone is a simplified version of VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) for homes and businesses, offered by telecom companies like Verizon. But what is VoIP?

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) uses a broadband internet connection to make voice calls, as opposed to a traditional analog phone line that sends electrical pulses across copper wires. VoIP and digital phone services convert your voice to a digital signal and allow users to place domestic, long-distance, and international calls, just like a traditional phone line.

Fios Digital Voice takes advantage of 100% fiber optic technology to provide amazing HD-like sound that makes all the difference whether you’re talking to your best friend across town or family on the other side of the world.

The Difference Between Digital and Analog Phone Service

Years ago, analog phone service, also known as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS), was a perfectly good solution for placing calls from person to person — because it was the only technology available. Analog phones, which convert your voice to electrical signals that are carried across copper telephone wires, are susceptible to electrical interference, "crossed lines", and poor sound quality.

High-speed, broadband internet connections and fiber optic technologies have changed all of that. Enter: Fios Digital Voice. Verizon's digital phone service connects to your household phone jacks using standard telephone equipment and your modem. Your call is converted into a digital signal that travels along a network of optical fiber cables, providing you with clearer call quality and additional features, such as anonymous call rejection, voicemail notification, and smartphone and TV integration.

Questions are great. Answers are better.

Here are the answers to some FAQs you may have.

  • Is VoIP the same as digital phone service?

  • VoIP and digital phone service share many similarities, such as connecting callers via broadband internet connections, but they are not the same. VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) is commonly used by businesses or enterprises, and can require the use of specific hardware or software to place and manage phone calls, call logs, and caller ID.

    Digital phone service is made available to both residences and businesses, and does not require specific hardware or software for full enjoyment. See the complete list of Fios Digital Voice calling features and learn more about available plans and bundles.
  • Do I have to change my phone number?

  • You may be able to take your current telephone number with you when you move within your Verizon local service area.

    The online moving service prompts you with the option to keep your current telephone number if you are moving within your current Verizon service area. It is sometimes necessary to change your telephone number when moving phone service.

    If you can keep your current telephone number, you will be provided with the option to retain your telephone numbers during the checkout process of your Move order.
  • What equipment do I need for digital phone service?

  • The equipment used by digital phone service isn’t very different from typical analog phone service. You’ll utilize the existing phone jacks located throughout your home, a standard touch-tone phone and power supply, such as a wall outlet.

    So what’s the difference between analog and digital phones? Fios Digital Voice makes use of a digital phone modem connected to Verizon’s 100% fiber optic network, while analog relies on antiquated copper technology from telephone or cable companies.
