Straight Talk (Verizon) Call Forwarding Codes & AI Scam Screening | Gini Help

Straight Talk (Verizon) is an MVNO — it does not run its own towers, it resells the Verizon network. That matters for call forwarding: you use Verizon's codes, not a Straight Talk (Verizon)-specific one, and Straight Talk (Verizon) support often will not know them.

To turn screening on, dial *7214149854464 from your Straight Talk (Verizon) phone and press call. Wait for the confirmation tone before hanging up — Verizon does not show a dialog.

To turn it off at any time, dial *73. Your Straight Talk (Verizon) service is unchanged either way — forwarding only redirects calls you do not answer to Gini's screening line at +1 (866) 446-GINI.

If you would rather only forward some calls: *9014149854464 forwards when you are on another call, *9114149854464 when you do not pick up, and *9214149854464 when your phone is off or out of service.

Verizon uses CDMA-style codes, so there is no # at the end and no confirmation dialog — listen for the tone instead. If you previously used a GSM code like *21*, it will not work on Verizon.

Once forwarding is on, Gini answers unknown callers before your Straight Talk (Verizon) phone rings, asks who is calling and why, and only puts real people through. Anyone already saved in your contacts rings straight through as normal.
