Short answer you can't.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

If anyone finds out how I can remove the city id please let me know! In the meantime I am filing a complaint with the FCC. I told Verizon I consider this harrassment! My free trial ended a year ago and at that time I opted out. All of a sudden 2 weeks ago I started getting messages on my phone and I only have the option of "now" or "later". If I select "now" it starts going through the process of me selecting the feature! By selecting "later" or pressing "end" it just keeps coming back. They know I mean it when I say I'm filing a report with the FCC because I've done it before. The FCC makes them answer the complaint!

City ID after x amount of calls or days will finally give you the option to remove if you do not want it. Others, as they help you get a phone at a discounted price are there to stay, but you can delete the icon.

FCC does not care one iota about the issue and have stated as much

It is basically a advance caller Id app that can read the phone numbers data transmitted from phone company and also search for additional info about contact.

Okay, thanks. Sounds like a reverse phone lookup.  Guess I just don't have it installed.

Basically that's all it is, I prefer Revese Lookup from https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.esmobile.reverselookupfree&feature=search_result#?...

Yes, I have Reverse Lookup Plus installed.  Nice app. I mostly use it to look up spam calls on my land line!  Even though I'm in the Do Not Call registry I get all these calls from the politicians who made themselves exempt to off shore companies trying to sell me drugs! 

Thanks for the info.  But if it's not a non-removable stock app, I'm still a bit puzzled as to why the OP can't remove it.

I did some research to try to find the company that sold the original CallID app and it appears that they fell of the market, I am assuming that since there was so many complaints about the app they might have removed it from the device when they updated firmware, this is my guess..
