Updating Your Roaming Capabilities.

[7thsinger]

It's a good idea to periodically update the roaming coverage on your Verizion Wireless phone.

This is a simple procedure that typically takes less than 3 minutes to complete, depending on signal strength.

Dial *228 Then hit send. When a voice begins to speak, hit option #2. The phone will handle the update, programming, then typically (based on model) will restart itself.

There, you're done! Piece of cake.
