Goodbye Verizon (or AT&T, Sprint, etc.)
This is not what you're thinking. I hate all the carriers for one reason or another, but I'm not leaving Verizon any time soon. Since the iPhone was first introduced, it's bothered me that my carrier gets a prominent and pointless advertising spot on the top of my display. I know I have Verizon service (and AT&T before that). Seeing their name next to the signal strength does nothing for me.
AppAdvice has a great post today to help you replace your carrier name with a fun symbol, or as I chose to do, nothing at all.
