Hello, Brieaddy. Let's start by looking into the source of the ads. Please follow these steps to put your phone in Safe Mode, and try making a couple calls: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-203892/ . This will rule out any 3rd party apps causing the problem.

Used safe mode and ads did not show up after call. Now what?

It means that you have installed an app that is pushing ads to your phone. You need to look at the installed applications and start removing some.

Killed a bunch of apps I didn't really need and the ads went away. Thanks for the help!

Killing an application doesn't remove it from the phone.

By kill K meant uninstall. Sufficient?
