Keeping Verizon Cloud and Caller Name ID enabled?

Keeping Verizon Cloud and Caller Name ID enabled?

No, I disabled those too along with the Amazon apps. Does anyone know if we can disable Verizon's Voice Mail app? Can we access our voicemails without this app?

How would you access the visual voicemail without an app? It would be old fashioned calling your voicemail and listening to it through a menu...

Unless I'm missing something.

Doesn't Verizon's Visual Voicemail have a monthly fee? That's why I never used it and got my voicemails the old fashioned way.

I use Google Voice currently for visual voicemail since its free. You Mail is another option people talk about a lot, but I've never used it.

I noticed that disabling some of Verizon apps also disabled airplane mode.

Hey you're right. I never noticed since I don't use Airplane Mode, but still peculiar.

 

[pchain]

Which Verizon apps? I think I have all of them disabled and airplane mode works for me....

The app is called setup wizard. If I disable it, it stops my airplane mode from functioning. FYI, my phone is encrypted I'm not sure if it has anything to do with it though.
