Can confirm it's on my Pixel 8: shiba:/ $ pm list packages -a -f ... package:/product/priv-app/Showcase/Showcase.apk=com.customermobile.preload.vzw ... Gross. I have zero relationship with Verizon and yet this garbage is on my phone.

probably phones outside the US also got polluted with this...

  I'm in Italy and my pixel 8 pro bough from Amazon has it, so yes, seems to be in all of them

Verizon is prone to overstepping with Pixels. I couldn't tether my phone with my carrier (from a country that doesn't have Verizon anywhere near it) because they happened to use the same SIM ID (or something, I'm not sure of the details), and when I tried my phone would reach out to Verizon to see if I was allowed to, it didn't know who I was and said no, so I couldn't tether my phone.

  Vodafone? They used to own a ~controlling interest in Verizon, and it wouldn’t be at all surprising if they shared that sort of thing, as _ordinarily_ it wouldn’t matter.

    Vodafone, but in NL. You might be on to something there.
