I noticed a charge for $1.99 on my Verizon bill today that had no explanation except "data," which made no sense. I looked back through my past bills and sure enough, the charge was there in April, May, and June, associated with my Thunderbolt, which I purchased in March. Not a coincidence.
I called Verizon, and the charge was for my "use" of the City ID bloatware. As far as I know, I never opened that useless app until last week, when I uninstalled it. I had it on my Incredible as well (and maybe even my Eris) and never used it/was never charged for it. I have no idea why I was being charged for it on my TBolt. I complained and Verizon removed the charges.
All the more reason to follow these instructions:
