Best way to Discontinue landline -> go from Triple Play to Internet + TV

[annoyedinpa]

I was quite happy to have my new service until I plugged in my phone and started receiving dozens of of unsolicited advertising calls per day.

I don't really need a landline, so there is no sense in paying more money for an unlisted number. I keep it unplugged now, and don't give out my landline number.

Considering how my landline has no value to me, are there any suggestions for the best way to get out of my Triple Play arrangement and ditch the landline service?Also, considering Verizon's lack of upfront transparency about the extra taxes and fees, I would like to minimize the revenue they get from me at the same time.

I cannot determine how to cancel our landline. We have the TriplePlay bundle but do not use the landline.  I have called Verizon multiple times, only to be on hold for up to 30 min before hanging up and cannot find the option online.  I'm ready to ditch Verizon all together if I cannot figure it out.  Any suggestions?

I have a similar question. We have our landline and internet through verizon. We want to get rid of the landline, but would like to keep the Internet and possibly add tv service instead. Would this be possible?

Really Best way is to call (1-800-verizon) .  Best to do so during norma business hours in case they need to reach billing department.
