Settings > Apps > scroll over to the "All" tab > scroll down to the Caller ID app. Select it and touch the disable button. You'll might have to uninstall the updates before the disable option will be available.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

I don't have an answer for your question, but I do think that pushing a download to my phone without my permission is abusive.  There should be a way to opt out of these dis-services!

I agree completely. Stop shoving these apps in our face! Now I get a "Caller Name ID" notification in addition to the regular call notification. Tell me again, why do I need this? Perhaps I need three or four notifications per call. Verizon is the worst service provider when it comes to this sort of behavior. Completely abusive!

It's not "being shoved in your face" when it is easily disabled.

Yeah, I think the fact that it is installed automatically without the option of uninstalling certainly qualifies as "being shoved in your face".

Yes you can remove the app

1. Make sure mobile data is on and open the CALLER NAME ID app.

2. Go to ACCOUNT TOOLS and check your STATUS. If it says to SUBSCRIBE then that means that you have not been signed up for the service yet and simply hit the back

key and hit REMOVE APPLICATION.

3. If you see under your status that you have X amount of days left in your trial period then that means you have been signed up for the trial period. In this case just

unsubscribe and confirm, then hit the back key and hit REMOVE APPLICATION.

If you disabled the app then just enable it and remove.

When you disable it, it doesn't even show up in the app drawer, it is, for all intents and purposes, uninstalled.  Again, not "being shoved in your face".

This is not true as it still takes up 2M on my phone.  How do you uninstall it?
