Industry: General

A major Verizon outage underscores the importance of having dependable backup business and residential VoIP phone service to maintain uninterrupted communication.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRUnderground) January 19th, 2026

Voiply, a leading provider of affordable VoIP solutions for homes and businesses, emphasized the value of backup phone service in the wake of a widespread Verizon outage that left tens of thousands of users seeing “SOS” on their devices and unable to make or receive calls. The outage affected both personal and business cell lines, highlighting the risks of relying on a single provider and network for critical communications.

With many consumers and organizations increasingly dependent on mobile connectivity for work, school, and personal safety, the outage serves as a reminder that having a secondary, reliable communication solution is essential. Voiply’s cloud-based residential VoIP phone service offers a stable, internet-based alternative that remains operational even when traditional cellular networks experience disruptions.

“Events like the recent Verizon outage are a wake-up call,” said Felix Yanko, President and Co-Founder of Voiply. “Homes and businesses need a communication plan that doesn’t fail when a single provider goes down. Voiply’s service ensures that calls continue seamlessly, providing peace of mind when connectivity matters most.”

In addition to its home phone solutions, Voiply offers reliable small business phone service. Both are designed to work with existing internet connections, making setup quick and hassle-free. Unlike cellular networks, which are subject to outages caused by network failures or maintenance issues, Voiply’s cloud infrastructure emphasizes continuous service, protecting users from unexpected interruptions.

The outage reinforces Voiply’s mission to provide affordable, flexible phone solutions that serve as a critical backup for both personal and business communications. By leveraging VoIP technology, customers can maintain essential voice services even when traditional carriers are unavailable. Whether cell phones are down due to an outage or bad reception, having landline phone service means staying connected with family, vulnerable seniors, or important business contacts.
