Managed Wi-Fi networks are installed by your cellular carrier as part of their cellular network settings, and provide a means of offloading cellular traffic onto available carrier-affiliated Wi-Fi networks.

If you do not wish carrier offload Wi-Fi networks to be configured, find a carrier that does not use them, and switch to that carrier.

The iPhone itself is not being managed by a third-party, and is not “supervised”, nor “managed”.

that is not real sir fake regardless what you say its for it does not change the fact that ALL managed networks have admin why would want someone you dont know to have this access to your private info when ever those networks are on private relay says theres an issue and private relay wont work i get a message say that my ip address is visible by known trakers and web sites So you mean to tell me that verizion has any right to expose my info like that and the fact that its says corperate accounts on my device oh and i went to a different store and theyd never seen a managed nework and no one working there had one on their phone

Nope! They have no access to your Private Info and you are assuming that a managed network is the same as your device being managed by MDM software. They are not the same thing.

Your IP address is visible to trackers and websites. That is how the internet works. If you use Safari, the trackers are prevented from profiling you.

I don't think it can be anymore clear that your issue is with Verizon. Removing the SIM/eSIM will result in those networks being removed. As seen in the posted user agreement they use up to three of them called VerizonWiFiPasspoint, VerizonWiFiAccess, and PrivateMobileWiFi, so it appears that is what you are referring to.

So now, what are you going to do about it, here are your options:

• Complain to Verizon
• Post on their community forums
• Complain to your local regulators
• Change cellular providers

We already mentioned that......

Your carrier installed the managed network

Only your carrier can remove that network

Apple is not involved with this. This information will not change.

It will do no good for you to tell us what the law might be. You need to talk to your carrier about this.

What happened when you asked your carrier to remove the network? If your carrier will not remove the network, then your only option will be to find a carrier that will not install a managed network.

Look it Upso they are breaking the law because ive scoured the the user agreement and i never gave consent and ive called them and let them know . its in their privacy policy and if you can read and comprehend you can learn these things too like what you just said is nonsense becuz you just said "Well so signed the contract " not knowing that when it comes to privcy the GDPR Laws can not be bound by any cotract from excrsizing their privacy rights i love to talk to people like you that just repeats what he thinks and or heard rather then the correct way reseaching and FACT checking because all of what you say i can tell you where to look to discredit you and you misinfo like Visible and verizon offer the exact same service you can even pay for the premium sevice with visible and get same priority at the cell tower as premium verzon only differance is visible does not have cprperate or bussiness account and sir you shouldnt be on here like you know somthing when it is clear to me you do not so why are you pretending like you can help anybody . everthing ive stated go look it up easily can be verified now I chalenge you to tellne or show me WHERE i CAN FIND anywhere that it states that managed networks by verizon is to ofload traffic and or provide better sevice ? because that is 100% false

You will want to review whatever particular carrier agreement you signed as part of obtaining cellular service from Verizon.

For reference, here is a carrier agreement posted at Verizon:

(Whether this is the agreement your particular dealings with Verizon are subject to, I do not know.)

If you no longer wish to have Verizon managed networks on your iPhone, discuss that with Verizon, or find and switch to a different carrier that does not use Wi-Fi offloading. If there are any of those carriers.

None of this can be addressed here, nor can whatever technical or non-technical issues that might exist here. This is between you and Verizon, and whatever other issues or concerns might exist here.

And again, this Wi-Fi offloading does not make your iPhone a managed device, nor controlled by any third-party.

PS: GDPR is an EU regulation and Verizon is a US carrier. In general terms and outside of unusual circumstances or some other agreements, a person or legal entity located in the US or located a US territory is not subject to GDPR.

Was this a managed network installed by your carrier?

If yes, you need to contact your carrier and ask them to remove the managed network.

Your carrier installed the managed network. Only your carrier can remove that network.

Apple would not be involved with this in any way.

managed network without my consent

Most managed networks are installed by your carrier. Contact them, but they may not remove it for you as you likely need it to access their network.

That is only a problem between you and Verizon. If Verizon does not want to remove their managed networks, then you can file a complaint with your local regulators or change to a provider that does not have managed networks. It really is that simple! The choice is yours to make and does not involve Apple at all. Feel free to post on the Verizon Support forum if you wish.

Since I have T-Mobile, the managed networks allow me to use free in-flight WiFi while flying on partnered airlines.

That would clearly be consent for those managed networks if you choose to use their cellular service. While I would expect most everyone does not read their user agreement, you surely cannot claim you did not give them consent simply because you did not read it.

i know this but the phone calls are routed to same ppl i went to a different store and talked to fraud dep who said this was a technical issue abd i blew up because this is fraud . if a stire rep dilibertly installed the networks cuz have three what is it if not fraud

And what do you think anyone here on this user to user only forum can do for you about this? This has nothing to do with Apple and no one here works for you carrier. If you think this is fraud (which it's not, by the way), hire an attorney or go to the local authorities (who won't likely have any interest in this). This is outside the scope of this forum, completely.

sir somuch you know youare complettly wrong about iffloading traffic . the misinformation can not be confirmed nor found anywhere unlike what ive stated that cCAN and has been verified its pok like you that repeats somthing that was told to them managed networks ALL come with an admin LOOK IT UP and why do you think the networks have locks on them its only purpuse us to keep me frrom deleting them ynder cellular data usage then system services i find coperate accounts with data usage this indicates managment by an mdm service thru a corperate account look it up its easy to find un like what you said that is for off loading traficc that info you cant find cuz its false if you look up and of the said managed networks you get a clear explanation of what they are and it not at all what you say so sur please do a little research before spreading info you heard rather than research it sir you see could gve lessons onthe matter and boy do you need some

That is nothing more than a bunch of nonsensical nonsense. My statement stands. There is nothing anyone on this forum can do about a carrier loading a managed network on your phone. I don't need to look anything up at all. We can't help you and your complaint and issue is outside the bounds of this forum.

why does nt visible have them

Because visible does not include them....or require them.... with the service that they offer. Verizon does. The fact that visible might be using Verizon's towers does not mean that visible is offering the same options....or requirements...as Verizon.

Like it or not, you agreed to the Verizon managed networks when you signed your agreement with Verizon. It's buried in there in the fine print somewhere.

At this point, there is no reason to continue this discussion.
