Root ME1, Caller ID App and Mobile notification

Just a heads up to anyone who loaded ME1.... I noticed this morning that my Mobile data notification icon remained active, even though my WiFi was connected.... At first, I thought maybe something was borked again after the update, so I dug around a little bit and I found the root cause; The "Caller ID Name" app that Verizon dropped on us with ME1...

Its basically another attempt to try to squeeze a bit more out of us, at $2.99 a month, it gives "better" caller ID... whatever that is. Unless it reaches out and gently gives me a little howdy-do when someone calls, I can't see any caller ID enhancement worth $3 duckets a month.

So it would appear that, like MMS, the Caller ID Name app utilizes the mobile data connection, regardless of the Wi-Fi Connect state.

Remove the Caller ID Name app... no more persistent notification.
