I hope this is the best place in the boards for this. Mods feel free to move it if this doesn’t belong here.

I have a smart phone from Verizon. I did something to it and now when I call someone or receive a call, I get an annoying voice that says “Verizon Wireless.”

This is driving me nuts. Anyone know how I can get rid of this annoyance?

I used my google fu and found out how to stop this (uncheck roaming tone).
