It was discussed earlier either in this forum or Howard Forums, back around when the phone first came out, that if you did this, it would mess with your roaming capabilities. You might constantly go in and out of roaming. If this happens, you will get charged for any calls you receive or place, and VZW will know the reason is because you changed the ERI setting. I'm not technical enough to know the logistics of it, but they will not reverse your roaming charges when they see that the ERI has been changed. Read through the entire Howard Forum posting, and you will see the discussion I'm talking about. Damn that VZW with their banners, but I'm willing to put up with the banners if it means avoiding

LoL...nonsense? Then scroll back and read what some of the more "knowledgeable" posters on here have said about it. Like beerbaronhomer said, be constructive but be nice. Good grief, the nerve of some of you know-it-all's around here is seriously sickening.
Good try there... i have read everything and even done it... i had no problems... i even told this trick to one of the cust. service reps. on the phone he was very excited about it...
Lesson: The rumor about roaming more with no banner is not nonsense and i would recommend dealing with the banner for now until someone fixes this problem. Howev...

Anyone got the answer to this? Also any chance of finding documentation for the hidden settings?
Do a search of past postings. This has been covered in detail with all the steps to take.
Be advise though that some people have really screwed their phone up while trying to make this change. Don't know if was the change that did it or they just did not do it properly.
But if you mess it up, Verizon will not fix it under warranty since it is not an approved software modificaton that you attempted.
Be Warned! 👿
What the problem with the VZW banner anyway? It is pretty small after all!
The inside banner bothers me not. When trying to view the outside LCD for caller ID the alternating Verizon Wireless there with the phone number is annoying. Which do the instructions take care of? The inside banner or the outside banner?
