Weird. Very weird! I wonder if you could port it to VZW and then to FiOS? Or maybe, as someone else suggested, port to Google Voice and then have that redirect to FiOS? I can't understand why you could port to VZW but not FiOS. That's just weird. You could also call your alarm company and ask them for a recommendation? My alarm uses cellular to connect back to the monitor. -derek -- Derek Atkins 617-623-3745 derek at ihtfp.com www.ihtfp.com Computer and Internet Security Consultant
