I'm trying to use Verizon Messages plus app but I my recipients receive duplicate or blank texts

why is verizon messages+ sending duplicate and blank texts?

Which form of the app does this - the phone app, the desktop app, or the web app? Or all three??
What phone do you have? And if it's a smartphone, have ypu set the Messages + app to be the default texting app, and disabled the other text apps?

Using Verizon Messages Plus App, now Sprint users are receiving blank group texts

Recently downloaded the Verizon Messages Plus App, and now my family with Sprint are receiving blank group texts. I've tried various troubleshooting and can't find a solution. Any help???

Yes, correct. I am the VZ member and my family members are using Sprint.
All the messages they receive are blank (not sure whether they are getting
the pictures, am testing right now). This has started since i started using
the Verizon messaging app instead of the stock messaging app. We all have
Samsung Galaxies. I have the 5, some family have 4 and some have 3.

Has anyone used Verizon Messages Desktop App

I'm curious, is there anyone out there that has used the Verizon Messages Desktop App? Were you able to use it successfully? Can you still?
You can download it here (The icon that says "Download Desktop App")

I opened this thread which I'm pretty sure has just joined all of the other forgotten threads that never get answers.
VERIZON MESSAGES PC App

I have downloaded the Message+ application for 64 Bit Windows 7. It's a wonderful idea and I think it's just great. Unfortunately, its performance is inconsistent, the interface is not intuitive, certain features are difficult to use, certain obvious features are missing and there is no integrated help facility. I have elaborated on some of them, below. Be aware that I have not had this program for very long, so there may be answers and explanations that I am not aware of. And I might simply be wrong.
Performance is inconsistent:
Messages which appear on your phone will either immediately appear on your Message+ window (which is wonderful) or they will never appear, ever. Even waiting for hours doesn't get them. Exiting and running the application won't get them--they simply don't show up.
The program sometimes hangs for no readily apparent reason, thus hanging every single window associated with it. Once this happens, this is a solid hang. The program will simply not process any more windows messages at all. Since it will not handle a WM_CLOSE, you can not kill it from the task bar, you'll just get a beep. You must use the Windows Task Manager to do it. Once you have killed it, it will steadily hang more frequently.
Message+ can get into such a state that it will no longer start, no matter what you do. You can look at your processes, see that it is not there, but trying to run it give you a brief blink and nothing happens. A full reboot may fix this, but I do not know because I have not performed one. I think that is just too drastic and I simply have too much other stuff going on.
Once performance starts to degrade, it does so rapidly. Message+ will simply stop receiving ALL SMS messages with no indication why. There is no obvious way to reset this.
Attempting to fix the application by choosing Repair from the installation program (which is not documented anywhere) produces mixed results. The repair process takes an extremely long time and the progress bar barely moves making one think that the repair has hung. It is an exercise for the truly patient (or desperate). This will fix the program enough so that it will start again, but performance will be poor and hangs will become more frequent.
A repair inconsistently leaves messages around. One contact may still have messages while another has them all deleted. There is no readily apparent reason for this behavior.
Once you stop receiving messages, you do so forever. Even a repair doesn't fix the problem.
Close buttons [X] do not consistently work. Sometimes you got to click them a few times.
The interface is not intuitive:
On just about any GUI that you've ever heard of, available buttons or hot spots are highlighted in some way. The Message+ application does not follow this paradigm; the entire interface is flat and there is no indication of what you can click on unless you directly click on it.
It is not clear what a button does until you click on it. Some of the symbols are not obvious nor are they documented in any readily access place.
Icons can bring up windows which are either docked to the main window or separate with no readily apparent design.
Windows are launched with either a double or single click, which is startling and inconsistent. There is no readily apparent reason for this behavior.
You can do different things based on whether you are in edit mode or not, but it is not described anywhere how to do this and it is not obvious how to get out of it while you are in it. You've got to hunt around and experiment.
It is confusing to figure out what phone number to synchronize with. I installed the program only three days ago and now I have completely forgotten how to do this.
Certain features are difficult to use:
Trying to get at the text of a message is tortuous. You've got find very tiny dim icons which may or may not be there. Sometimes you'll manage to get a pop up with a right click, but all the options will be greyed out. There is no way to figure this out except by (laboriously) clicking on every part of every window at each stop to see what you can do.
You can only select a single message text at a time for certain things. If you want to get an entire thread, there is no way to do this. You can select multiple messages in edit mode, but the only available action is to delete all of them.
You can get per message info, which is great, but you have to do it on ever single message.
The scroll bar performance is poor. It is very difficult to determine where you are in a window, scrolling control is jerky, trying to move up a little bit at a time does not work.
Trying to find the program on the Verizon website to download it is not directly obvious. You can Google the web for messages, some of which have hard URL's that you can click on to get to the right place.
Certain obvious features are missing:
SMS messages contain valuable information and there is no way to save a message stream to file. This is lack of functionality is positively astounding. You've got to scroll through the message and take screen shots.
The arrow buttons do not consistently scroll window contents. They typically work, however.
Messages which are sent to a Jetpack (they have phone numbers) are not caught, which is puzzling.
You can not display message contents and information at the same time. This makes it doubly tedious to record information.
There is no undelete, roll back, restore or recover feature. Once you delete a message it's gone. Forever. Even undelete programs do not work because the delete is not apparently file based. You can hunt through the block list, but this can get tedious.
There is no way to back up or restore the entire database. Some of this material is critical.
There is no export function. You can not export to a .PDF to e-mail to somebody. You can not export to a .CSV for offline analysis.
Help:
There is no integrated help facility.. You can not pull up a window of descriptions of basic tasks.
There does not appear to be an online FAQ located in any obvious place.
It is difficult to Google for help online, you must always put Message+ in double quotes, "Message+" or you will get unexpected results.
There does not appear to be any large experienced user community on the Web yet. This support site is probably your only realistic chance of getting some useful information. Otherwise, there are many, many questions out there.
The Send Feedback Function does not work if you do not have an installed mail client on your desktop. If you are using a web based one, gmail for example, a browser window will start with the entire message stuffed into the URL bar. You've got to cut the text out of the URL and paste it into separate fields in your message. You've better off just simply sending an e-mail to [email protected]. Thus far, however, I have yet to receive a single response. Sometimes hitting the Submit button performs no function at all. The window simply stays up and nothing happens.
In summary, I think it's a great idea, but I simply don't think the User Interface engineering is all that thought out. The look and feel of an application of an application are absolutely critical to successfully exploiting the functionality. You should only deviate from (decades old) graphical interface paradigms when you really have something different to do. Message+ is performing basic functions, it doesn't need window glitz. Glitz for glitz's sake is just plain annoying and causes a needless learning curve. Further, Message+'s glitz is uninspiring and in some cases, downright confusing.
The flawed functionality, the stability, the data lose, the lack of obvious features and the near complete lack of documentation make me think that this is essentially an unfinished or alpha stage product and one would hope for improvements as new version roll out (if they ever do).
If anyone knows of any alternatives to Message+ that do what it does, I'd love to hear about it. However, I am only interested in capturing SMS messages, not sending any sort of e-mail or data.

Verizon Message Plus App Issue

Why does it say that some people received my message but others don't and they still reply. It still says message not delivered in message info.

Ramrodz,
Hmm, that is odd! Does this happen with all your contacts or just some? Are they Verizon Wireless customers or with other carriers? Please share details.

VERIZON MESSAGES PC App

I am trying to use the Version Messages Desktop App for the PC using Windows 7. I am able to correctly register my phone number with the app. I even get a text msg on my phone stating "VZW Free Msg: Your device has been successfully registered with your integrated Messaging Account..." However, the application will not connect. The little circle icon next to the pencil icon keeps spinning around and around with no success.
Eventually I get an error message stating that VZW messages was unable to connect.
Things I have already tried
Disconnecting my device and reconnecting it
Turning off windows Firewall
Uninstalling and reinstalling the application

No, perhaps you misinterpret me or I have not explained myself clearly. I meant to make the following points.
The Current Desktop application has stability and feature issues. My inclination is to believe that it can not be made to consistently work on any system for any period of time. Therefore, your choice of system, virgin or not may be irrelevant. See my other posts for more information on the matter.Has anyone used Verizon Messages Desktop App
I recommended the web application. You can see the reasons why in that post.
The desktop application does not appear to directly use any web browsing technology. You don't even run a browser to use it. Therefore, the choice and version of browser is irrelevant. They simply aren't programmatically related.
Let me know if any of this doesn't make sense. In a sentence, you may be wasting your time trying to get the desktop application to correctly and consistently function, no matter how much help or support you receive.
However, if you DO manage to get it working, then I would greatly appreciate your detailing of how you did so, here. I spent a number of hours with it and have enough technical background to get things to function. It's unusual for me not to. The desktop application completed defeated all my efforts to get it to work.

Im trying to use my messaging, but its telling me that my password is wrong? What should I do?

Im trying to use my messaging, but its telling me that my password is wrong...what should i do?

Unfortunately, when I turned on my mba and tried my internet connection on wifi with my airport express this morning... it no longer worked, as a password (WEP) is required !!! And there is no password on a airport express (as far as I know). and I didn't set any paswword !!!!
Regarding iPhone and airport I didn't configure any security in order to make it simple for the beginning... so I stil don't understand why a password is required...
I'm very disapointed as I thought that mac devices were plug and play and not dedicated to IT expert.
Thank you for your help.

When I get a text message from my brother or sister who have IPhones there is no text but there is a "download" button. If I tap the download button it beeps but there is no download. My galaxy note 4 uses verizon messages app. how do I get these text

when I get a text message from my brother or sister who have IPhones there is no text but there is a "download" button. If I tap the download button it beeps but there is no download. My galaxy note 4 uses verizon messages app. how do I get these text messages?

Picture messages without a texting plan are 25 cents each. Better than the $1.99 or $2.99 from the online store....
Attaching to an email would not work as mobile email does "do" attachments.
Sending to your online album will use text messages, I believe. Better to use a micro SD card, save to the card, and transfer them to your computer that way.

When using Verizon message +; is there a setting for delaying sending text message?

I switched from GO SMS Pro to Verizon message +. However, I liked the ability to delay sending the text (in case of bad finger). I have not found a setting to delay sending. Has anyone found a way?

prr284
I understand how important it is to have the feature you need from your messaging service! At this time, there is not a way to set up a delayed message from Verizon Messages. I'm sorry about any inconvenience this causes! I can lift this up as a suggestion for improvement. Thanks for the idea!

Verizon Messages web app refresh

In Verizon Messages web app, is there a way to increase the frequency of the refresh? Texts are taking an inordinate amount of time to display after I hear them come in on my phone. Mostly, I have to do a manual browser refresh. I've tried Chrome and Firefox. Any suggestions?

Well, you might can find a browser extension that will auto-refresh your page. I use another app called Mighty Text that syncs with my Android and has a browser window that refreshes automatically as well as allows me to respond via small pop up window when not in browser and lets me dismiss notifications on the phone from the PC.

Verizon Messages Web App times out?

My Verizon Messages web app just started timing out after being inactive for a bit. It will give me a warning, but then it times out if I don't do anything. I like to keep it open in a tab on my browser while I work, so that desktop notifications pop up if I get a text. It only started timing out recently (in the past few days), and I'm wondering if this is a setting I can change?

Try to do a reset, if it doesn't work try remove recently added apps this may solve your problem ( like google app because it has happened with me)
Take a look at apps using your location service in privacy, it can cause battery draining.
