Unless you opt out, Verizon plans to begin selling your personal data including things like who you call, when and how long you talk. I strongly suggest you opt out by calling 1-800-333-9956. You will be asked for your phone number, your billing zip code, and the last 4 or your social.

I would also be vigilant if you upgrade your phone or renew your contract in the future to ensure they don’t slip it in. It would probably be good to ask the rep anytime you make a change on your account to ensure you won’t be opted in for CPNI sharing.

UPDATE: this applies to Mobile numbers only.
