Caller Id App That came in new Update

[irocroe]

There is an app that came in the update. U will notice that the 4G and wifi are on at the same time. Well that is the caller id app. Always running and you will be paying for it. It costs $2.99 a month. You MUST disable it and go to my verizon and make sure you take it out. Very sneaky what they did....

And I'm supposed to be getting Caller ID anyway. Now they want me to pay for it.

I noticed this new app as well after update. Neither wifi /4g was on. Wanted to see what this app was, so when I opened it, it says "Caller Name ID is not yet activated. Please try again later. " If it is Verizon trying to pull a fast one, I hope I catch it before Verizon starts charging so I can disable it. Call me a masochist, because I know I can disable it now, but I'm curious to see if Verizon really is trying to dupe us.

I received an email saying that my features changed. I just disabled the app and reviewed my account but nothing seems to have been added.

Me too, but I didn't change any features nor see where features had been changed in MyVerizon.

I think it's just an updated version of the previous caller/city ID app that was pre installed on previous OS builds. So I guess with the app updated, the trial started again. Hopefully like the last version, once the trial is over it will just stop itself.

Update: Replacing this app - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/City_ID

I made a mistake. Not in my verizon. But it does show and if u try it for free, when the trial is over u will get charged....
