PHONE-EE FYI

Couple of items to Cornwall Fam Plan Cell Phone users:

• 3rd Party Services: I asked Verizon that all phones (as of 2/29) are blocked from receiving 3rd party services. This is in response to many of us having a problem with being stealth signed up for cell phone "services" like - Joke of the Day, or Premium Messaging, etc... and getting charged on the next bill. Hopefully this will protect us from future problems. If you do get any unsolicited "services" (don't do nothing and delete it) you must call/text the "service" back and text "stop", "end" or "cancel". Let Dad know.
• Update Phone Programing: Verizon recommends that every 3 months each phoner do the following:

1. Dial *228 , followed by the SEND key.
2. When prompted, press option #2, to update your phones roaming capabilities (This process may take up to 2 minutes).
3. Once completed, a confirmation message will be played, and a message will display on the phone screen.

Verizon also said this is a good idea when you travel or move to a new area. I am told it updates your phone to the newest operational cell towers in the area. It will help to not have dropped calls, etc...
