My "Relevant Mobile Advertising" was already long-ago opted-out ("No, I don't want to participate in Relevant Mobile Advertising"). Still, last night, my "Verizon 3G" (iPhone 4s) was definitely adding the header to all plain-HTTP traffic, including that from private/incognito-mode tabs, and from another machine sharing the "personal hotspot".
I then changed the other two settings ("Customer Proprietary Network Information" and "Business & Marketing Reports") to opt-out, and it was still sending the header about a half-hour or hour later, and I contacted @VZWSupport on Twitter. This morning, the header was no longer being sent.
So I don't know if:
• one of those other settings eventually took effect; or...
• contacting @VZWSupport caused them to fix something with my account, either based on my support-expressed preference or remedying a bug in respecting prior preferences; or...
• general reporting of this has caused a change at VZW, perhaps in finally respecting previous opt-outs
