When I try to make a call, even to my voicemail, I get a recording saying “Welcome to Verizon Wireless please hold while your call is transferred to an external operator where you will be able to pay for your call using a credit card…”
I’ve rebooted my phone and still get the service announcement.
Please let me know how to fix this.
Thank you.

Next time you buy a service card, use this straighttalk website in the refill section to activate it (
