You likely misheard the phrase over the phone.
The voiceover probably said "The subscriber you dialed is powerED off."
Adding -ed to a verb often makes it an adjective, and this is no exception.
If you're interested in learning more about this, I have time available for tutoring.

"The subscriber you dialed is powered off" does not sound native-like.
In English, we say the number you dialed has been disconnected or is no longer in service.
to power off (verb) = to deenergize = to remove power to = to turn off

They probably said "powered off". You can also use "power off" as a verb but it is a little bit informal.
