Wih my iPhones on Verizon it is simple enought to go to 
"Settings->"Privacy"(scroll to the bottom)->"Diagnostics & Usage" there 
you find that it is Apple, not Verizon requesting the data. You have 
the options to "Send Automatically" or "Don't Send". You are free to 
choose whichever you want.

At the bottom of that settings window you will find the current status 
and a tap selection to view the currently accumulated "Diagnostics & 
Usage Data".
