Having A Problem With Straight Talk Customer Service And Error Code 97?

I am an existing straight talk user and have been getting this message when trying to send a sms/mms message "error code 97, please contact customer service". I cannot make any phone calls either. I am quite disappointed with the service that I have gotten by calling the customer service line.    I have worked for verizon and for apple and know the specific steps in restarting, resetting and restoring my phone back to factory settings and trying over and over again. I have updated my PRL, updated my software, updated my profile, my firmware and android software which told me it wasn't available to update and still I get the error code 97, contact customer service.    The advisor that I was speaking to stated that his tools on his computer were not working and could not assist me, was transferred to a manager, then his tools were not working and was going to be transferred to his supervisor which never happened.    Do you have a specific answer to error code 97 or just prefer leading me around in circles? I still cannot make any calls, not send any sms/mms messages. The only access that I can get is from using my internet messaging like facebook to get responses BUT THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE!!   I need my phone to get calls to make sure that my children and my family are doing okay and safe. And obviously due to your forums wanting to take us offline, you do not know the answers and want to take us offline to attempt to fix the problem and just disconnect our services further. Atleast at Apple and Verizon, we could assist our customers and get them back to their phones within a few hours. I have emailed your customer service and got the automated message that it may take up to 5 days to get a response. 5 DAYS!! Are you kidding me? I have enjoyed the services that straight talk has offered up until this point of my phone not working.    Does anyone in straighttalk have an answer for error code 97 and getting my services back online? I am extremely dissatisfied in the service I am getting through your customer service. Starting to wonder if I need to contact the Better Business Bureau since I am getting the run around from your customer service.
