Current opt-out methods for Verizon mail
-
PaperKarma app
Photograph the Verizon mailer. PaperKarma files the opt-out for you.
Once you opt out of this sender, you can opt out of 100,000+ other mailers in the same app.
-
Phone
Call Verizon at +1-800-837-4966. Ask them to opt you out of marketing-related mail.
A phone request can take 5 to 10 minutes or longer, depending on the phone tree, hold time, and whether they offer a callback.
What to Expect After Opting Out
- Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. Mail already labeled can still arrive. Verizon can still send bulk mail that goes to every home in a ZIP code.
- Bills are separate. Stopping promotional offers does not stop bills, service notices, or other account mail if you subscribe.
- A later list add-back can start it again. Asking about a plan can put the address back on a marketing file.
Why Do You Receive Verizon Mail?
Verizon is a U.S. wireless and home-services company. The same privacy policy covers Verizon Wireless and Verizon Value brands. The leftover mail is wireless, home internet, and upgrade offers.
You get that mail if they want the address as a customer, or if you already have service and they still send new-product mail. The leftover packet is often a Fios or wireless pitch for a household that already has a line.
How to Prevent General Junk Mail Proactively
-
DMAchoice
DMAchoice is the Association of National Advertisers' mail preference service. An $8 registration asks about 1,100 participating national companies to suppress your address from prospect promotional mail for 10 years. It does not cover local mailers, charity appeals, companies you already buy from, or occupant / current-resident saturation mail. Allow 90 days or longer.
NOTE: DMAchoice will not stop mail from Verizon as it is not an active member of the ANA.
-
OptOutPrescreen
OptOutPrescreen is the official Consumer Credit Reporting Industry site. It lets you opt out of firm offers of credit and insurance for 5 years or permanently.
NOTE: OptOutPrescreen will not opt you out of Verizon mail. It only covers prescreened credit card and insurance offers.
-
PaperKarma
For local and regional mailers, coupon packs, charity donation requests, and the large share of junk mail that DMAchoice does not cover, the PaperKarma app has the largest U.S. registry, with over 100,000 mailers on file.
Your Data Privacy Rights (CCPA & Beyond)
A promotional opt-out stops Verizon marketing mail. It does not always stop the underlying address from being shared. If you live in a state with an active consumer privacy law (California’s CCPA and several others), you can request access to or deletion of your personal information, and you can opt out of sale, share, or targeted advertising.
Call +1-800-837-4966 and ask for a deletion or do-not-share request, and to opt out of marketing mail.
Frequently asked questions
How long until Verizon mail stops?
Allow 8 to 12 weeks. Print runs are scheduled in advance. If a promotional packet arrives during that window, it was likely already printed and labeled before your request was processed. Verizon can still send bulk mail that goes to every home in a ZIP code. Bills and account notices can still arrive if you have service.
How do I stop Verizon mail for a previous resident?
Call Verizon at +1-800-837-4966 and include that person’s name and this address, or use the PaperKarma app to scan the mailer, mark the recipient as a previous resident, and submit the opt-out. Do not mark the person as deceased unless they are deceased.
Will Verizon mail stop if I move?
Not automatically. Marketing lists are tied to a specific name and address. A USPS forward can send a few more packets to the new address. Call again for the new address, or use the PaperKarma app there.
