{question} About the Retail conversion method and CID's.

Quote:

the psn derived from the CID may be used for critical services changing this psn may cause unexpected behaviour or loss of services continue at your own risk, you've been warned

I asked this question somewhere else and it was overlooked.

What does that warning mean exactly?

I'm concerned with what happens when/if Verizon notices a whole bunch of phones on their network with the same CID. Could they one command lockout that CID and all the devices with the CID?

I can't find anything about exactly what the CID is and what for it is used.

Am I just being over paranoid?
