Verizon VoiceWing customers say they’ve received letters saying the company is pulling the plug on the VoIP service.
The notice, dated Jan. 16, 2009, says service will be terminated after March 31, 2009. There’s no mention of offering to transition the service to another Verizon offering, like the forthcoming FiOS Digital Voice, or whatever VoIP service might be bundled/attached to the Verizon Hub VoIP phone.
DSLReports says VoiceWing is a re-branded version of Delta Three’s VoIP service, so this is likely also a preventive damage control move given Delta Three’s ongoing financial problems. Verizon stopped marketing VoiceWing a long time ago.
Since this move is coming as the Verizon Hub VoIP desktop phone and FiOS Digital Voice roll out, there is likely to be an announcement of an “un-FiOS” branded VoIP service available to support the Hub.
