Renaming my phone?

The name I want to replace is "Verizon Wireless".
You see the name when you wake your phone at the top of the unlock screen and you see it at the bottom when you drag down the menu bar.

Not a huge deal but I like to rename my phones so they are mine...not Big V's.

On my X I was rooted and used "root tools" to replace "Verizon Wireless" with other text.

Anyone know if that can be done on a non-rooted Note? I'm guessing not but no harm in asking :-)

Settings turn on bluetooth then hit options button (left of home button) and you should see it at the top.

Edit.


oops guess that wasn't the answer you were looking for as that was for Bluetooth, sorry.
 
Yeah I'm asking about the "Verizon Wireless" display name but the info you gave me is very cool too :-)

I have renamed my BT portion. Thanks :-)
