Verizon refuses to fix my landline

We have had a landline for over 30 years in our apartment in Manhattan. It frequently goes out and a repairperson comes and “fixes” something in the box behind our building. It happened again a couple of months ago. Then it happened again on April 7, 2015. This time they came and said they are not going to fix it anymore. Flabbergasted, I tried to contact Verizon on the web, but it denied my attempt with the response that my phone number is no longer valid. I called Verizon who then promised me that they will have a foreman call me back by April 9 to address the issue. It is now April 11 and I have not heard from them yet.

Is it really true that Verizon can just decide not to fix your phone anymore?

Can Verizon refuse you service like that?
