Verizon Cell Phone Roaming Update?

When I call *228 from my Verizon cell phone what is actually happening? It says that I am updating my roaming capabilities, but I have heard that you are also letting Verizon know where the dead spots are (which seems to everywhere).

    611 Tell them what you want to do. *228 does not "update the towers." It updates the phone's Preferred Roaming List," meaning which carriers the phone will allow service on if USC is not available where you are. This list is updated every couple of months, usually, but if you never do a *228 you don't receive the update. */*
