Well, ok I am not 100% sure it has anything to do with FIOS specifically, but the timing sure is right. Ever since I converted my old Verizon phone service to FIOS, my uncle in Italy cannot call me. I think the call is routed all the way here to the US, but he hears the Verizon Lady telling him the number he has dialed is not in service. To top things off he still gets charged for the call. To Verizon’s credit they did raise this issue to their second level swithing support people who assured me that everytihng was fine on their end and this must be an issue with the Italian telco. If that is the case why are they getting the Verizon lady? This is a deal breaker for me, if I can’t get this to work I might have to take up Comcast’s offer to pay for my cancellation fee and go back to them with my tail between my legs.
