Verizon Wireless: Information Sharing Plan

Verizon is sending out letters that gives customers 45 days upon receipt to opt out of the information sharing plan. The plan would share all of your carrier related data (billing information, technical data, location and service purchases) with Verizon's affiliates and agents. Essentially turning your account information into an open book for who knows who to see.

Article gives instructions on how to turn this off if you don't/didn't get the mail piece.

That's BS, I'm on Verizon........

It is just another way for Verizon to raise money and for a bunch of greedy vendors to get around the national "no-call" list.........

Yup. Despite the "no-call list," we're getting just about as many junk calls as ever. At least we have caller ID now.

There was an article locally about charter selling their customers phone numbers (including unlisted). Those numbers are now published in the regional phone directory for all to call.

Greedy is right.
