Disclaimer: IANAL
As far as telephony is concerned (things like SMS are a different story), a phone provider cannot legally do this, even if you signed some ToS agreement. According to the FCC, phone providers, including voip providers, have legal requirements around when they are allowed to terminate service: https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/when-your-telephone-company-discontinues-service https://www.fcc.gov/consumers/guides/when-your-telephone-com...
