I love my Verizon LG G2, but when I make or am about to get a call, the phone says, "Verizon Wireless".  Also, says out loud if the cellular signal is lost or found.  How can I turn these annoying notifications off?

Thanks!

Hi and thanks for both the answers.

With both of your help, I found the setting and fixed it. It was not, however, the voice notifications switch. That was what I thought was problem, but had turned that early on, so that was already set to off. I presume that would have said even more out loud like the caller’s name or the actual text message. I was simply hearing the words, “Verizon Wireless” EVERY time I made or received a phone call and when I got or lost the cellular signal.

The actual setting on the Verizon LG G2 was >Settings>Sound>Touch feedback & system>Sound when roaming. When I unchecked this box, the problem was solved. This stopped the voice notification both for when I lost my Verizon signal AND whenever a call came in or was made.

I would not have guessed that a “roaming” tone would result in a voice announcement for every call, but it was.

Thanks again!

Turn off the roaming tone. It is usually found in the wireless network settings.

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

This too fixed my problem.  Thank goodness because this was SOOOOO annoying having "Verizon Wireless" screaming out of the phone whenever I made or received calls.  The location to find this setting was not very intuitive since it doesn't seem that roaming and the announcement of "verizon wireless" would be related.....especially if you aren't roaming.

Now to solve the issue of now having a "blurpping" sound now that the "verizon wireless" sound is off when making a call.  Basically when I hit the "call" button to initiate the call, I get a sound coming out to let me know that I am making a call, I guess???  So one problem solved and another one crops up...LOL!!  Does anyone know how to turn this off?

Treaty,

After further review, it appears that disabling this setting will also be located in the Sound settings menu. If you go to Settings>Sound>Select Touch Feedback & System (Under System)

From here you can disable any tones or sounds while pressing the touch tones/touch sounds. Hope this helps.
