Helpful Verizon Codes

No. Not that you would ever need to know that type of information... unless you happen to work for Verizon's network team.

Hi John, or anyone who may know,

The software update codes - how does that work? Can I just update using that code at anytime? Do you know if data rates apply (as I dont have a data plan)? Is there a place to find out if there is new software available, or should I just randomly try and update once a month or so?

Thanks,
Dan

If you use Verizon, at the beginning of the call you will be told "This call is airtime free." In other words, there are no charges associated with using that code. As for how often you should update, the official word is to do it every three months.

Another cool code for calling other Verizon subscribers, press the * key to bypass their voice mail message to go directly to the tone and leave message.

With the Forced Update; is it *228, dial, then press 80? I tried it both ways and I still can't download a new PRL list. I just keep getting the same-old message that my phone couldn't be updated at this time.

*228 80 means that you dial *22880 (in other words, 80 is part of the dial sequence), then press Send.

I am thinking about switching to Verizon. Can I use my unlocked phone with their SIM card?
