How do I "anonymize" my phone before donating it?


Hi, I just got a new phone on the 'New Every 2' deal-e-o, and plan on donating my old Audiovox CDM-8900. After I activated my new phone, my old phone no longer can successfully make calls on the Verizon network, but it still shows a message 'NAM SETTING ###-###-####' with my cell phone number on it.

Anyone know how I can remove this info before donating it?

(Perhaps I should ask over at the Audiovox forums?)

Don't worry about getting rid of that phone number. The phones are refurbished before they are put into use. Your phone number won't be on their when the person using it receives it.

Not only that, but when it gets activated with the new number, that will show up where yours used to.
