FiOS TV & Internet with Copper Wire POTS telephone -- Unable to activate online bundles

[mjwmjwmjw]

I am unable to take advantage of online bundles because I have copper wire POTS phone service. Every time I select a bundle, it tries to to switch me to FiOS telephone which I do not want.

Is there any why to force NO changes to the telephone service (ie leave it on copper wire POTS) with online orders?

I find copper wire POTS very reliable during 5 day power outages (FiOS ONT battery backup runs out after 5 hours)!

Sure.  Just order a Double Play that includes only TV and Internet.  Check these links:
