Just got a Verizon carrier setting update after updating iTunes...

If you're not near a computer, you can go to Settings>> General>> About>> you'll get a pop-up to install... do that, then reboot the phone.

What version is it? I don't get a new version notification. Carrier v13.3

Thanks for the tip, Keith. Going to Settings-General-About didn't do anything, but when I connected my iPhone to my MacBook & fired up the iTunes app, I received the carrier update notice. Thank you again, my friend. :)

Mine is shows Verizon 13.0 -- not sure what it was before... and it's possible there are differences in version numbers in different areas of the country...

My carrier version was 13.0 prior to the update and have been that version for quite some time. Having said that, whenever I tap on carrier, I'm accustomed to seeing the PRL and then another tap to reveal the ERI. I don't recall ever seeing an MSID. That is revealed with yet another tap. Maybe it has been there all along and I've simply overlooked it.

May also be a PRL update involved... seeing talk in another forum where people are reporting PRLs changing. Mine went from 52986 to 53018...

I just hooked up to iTunes myself and the pop-up showed. Although I've also been on v13.0 for quite some time as well so that didnt change for me. As for the MSID, D - that has been there for a while also - maybe about or more that 2mths? I do remember it already being there right before i updated to iOS6 which was on the 17th of Nov. If that helps any lol. :)

Same here, Pink. The carrier update did not alter my PRL, and like you, I did the *228 thing and that updated the PRL to version 53018. Thanks for information about the MSID, as well. Enjoy the rest of your evening, my friend...:)

I don't recommend doing a star 228 on the iPhone 5

i'm not up on the smarts, apparently. can you please tell me why i shouldn't dial *228 from my vzw iphone 5? thanks.

There is no need to. I've seen it said in other forums it can mess up an LTE sim. If you care to find out, feel free.

On my thunderbolt, the activation call would never connect.there were rumors that it would fry or corrupt the sim.
