LG VX-6100
ERI Banner
Anyway, after playing around with the Audiovox phone for about 30 minutes (seriously!), I decided that that was NOT the phone for me -- and so I decided to swap out my LG 6100 for a third time, really not believing that the switch would do anything to correct his bug.
The first thing I noticed was, as you said, the ERI banner is now on the phone. The second thing I noticed was that my first fe...

How about the "Drive Mode" bug on your new phone...???
If you go into Drive Mode, then make a call, end the call, turn Drive Mode off... is the Speakerphone still left in the "ON" mode...???

If you don't remember to ALWAYS turn off the speakerphone when leaving the driving mode... then you might be in a public place, your phone rings, you flip it open to answer, and you inadvertently are on your speakerphone, irritating all persons around you... and with the phone to your ear and the speakerphone on you can carry on a conversation quite easily, but all those around you will be hearing both side of the conversation... ☹️
Not Good...

I updated my PRL today and the ERI banner is now active on my 6100. Apparently, the OTA system finally has the right PRL associated with this phone, it's now pulling 50203 instead of 50202 which was for non-ERI capable phones. So, now those that like the banner can be happy and those that don't can complain about it!
Pardon my ignorance, but what's an ERI banner?
Also, I just updated my PRL and got 42059. I was at the Verizon store last night, and their display unit had 50202. Am I missing something?
It is either a "Blinking Triangle" or a banner stating "Extended Network"...
It shows when you are accessing the Verizon's extended network, which is the other systems that Verizon has special agreements with, it is no charged as roaming...

I noticed, it now lists the sent calls only once if you call twice in a row. Overwrites the time and call time from the previous call. Not sure about missed calls yet.
Any other changes? I hope reception is improved.
I’ll live with the banner if the phones bugs get worked out.
