Do you use Verizon?

“Verizon sent out a tiny-print leaflet to customers last week, informing them (under the vague title above) that they were going to share subscribers’ personal information unless we explicitly opt out. It does not provide instructions on how to do so without calling them, customers report that calling them is no help, and even when you log into your account, Verizon has made the online copies of this legalese document inaccessible to some of its own subscribers.”

Check out the above link for step-by-step instructions on how to Opt Out from the Verizon website.

  2. Rumor has it Verizon was already doing this kind of shenanigans (selling of you’re info) and this is to just a move to cover their hide.

  3. This is one of several reasons I opted out of Verizon’s services several years ago.

  7. This as well as Verizon’s track record for crippling every phone they sell is the reason I will running away from them very soon.
