I just found out that Verizon does not clear out the caller ID's on mobile phones lines when the phone line is deactivated. The last user will still be attached to the caller ID which is a privacy issue. I understand that numbers are available to view on google for public use, however when the line is deactivated the information from the last account should be wiped out from the line. Once it is reactivated to a new account it should take on that account profile. This is how Verizon has always done phones in the past and now they have put it on the account managers only to make sure the changes take place. I just got a new phone attached to my account and right from the start the caller ID was the last person who had the line which is a problem as I do not need to know the last person who did not pay their bill or gave up a Verizon line that is between Verizon that customer. Please ensure this gets in the right hands to understand the issue as legal teams might like to know about how peoples privacy is being exploited.
