  1. 1. Power on your Verizon Wireless phone.
  2. 2. Dial *228 from your home digital coverage area, followed by the SEND key. This call is airtime free.
  3. 3. When prompted, press option 2 to update your phones roaming capabilities (This process may take up to 2 minutes).
  4. 4. Once completed, a confirmation message will be played informing you that your phone has been programmed.
