There has been an ongoing issue with carrier billing on VZW Android phones disappearing from the Google Play market. I had the same thing happen to me and over the last couple of months I (along with a bunch of other people out there)tried a few things that DID NOT work:

- Clearing Data/Cache on Google play market App, Google Play settings, and other various google apps.

- Flashing a new rom

- Getting a new device (From moto razr m to Galaxy s4)

But Today I had an idea:

I went to the VZW store and got a new sim card and surely enough that worked. I dont know why I didnt think of this before; I used to work for Verizon in tech support.

After I got the sim card changed out, I was able to go into the Google Play store and carrier billing was finally there again. The reason why this worked is because a new sim card means all of the data provisioning features on the account are now sent back to the phone (like someone activating their first smart phone for the first time).

Thanks for letting me post this here. The only other place I could post it where people had reported a problem was the VZW Community forums, but knowing them they will delete/edit my post.
