Verizon Message+ gif support

I started using the Verizon Message+ app and really like it especially because of the integrated features for texting via a PC or a tablet. However I have tried to send and receive animated gifs and they do not work. They work with other apps including the default messaging app but not when sent or received in messages+. Is there a solution or does this app just not support gifs?

Randy_Randerson
I would like to look into this for you and see what is going on. Verizon Messages is a great application to use. Have you ever been able to send animation gifs? What happens exactly when you try to send these gifs via Verizon Messages?

  • Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging  on use after working for 1 yr. deleted app and downloaded fresh app. Same problem. Neither Apple support or Verizon store support could find problem. Sometimes can type txt befor it

    Have an iPad mini with latest software upgrade 8.1.2. Verizon Messaging app crashes on use after one year with no problems. I deleted the app and downloaded a clean version. It crashes whether or not I have any apps running in the background. Sometimes I can type part of a message before it crashes. Other times it crashes as soon as I try to use the app at all. Neither Apple Support nor Verizon store staff could find any reason for the problems. Any ideas??

    Steady_RI, thanks for keeping us posted. Did you uninstall that application by pressing/holding down the icon until the (X) appears? Tap the (X) to delete it. Once the application has been deleted, you will need to reset the network settings on your device in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Network Settings. Power that device off/on and then download the application again. Additionally, we also recommend that you disable Wi-Fi and connect to our network to test the messaging feature again.

  • How do I get contact names to appear in the Verizon Messages browser version?

    Hey Guys,
    I just got the S5 and was giving the Verizon Messages app a shot since Mighty Text is acting a little wonky with Kit Kat and won't sync outgoing browser texts with the phone. With the VZW Messages app sending and receiving texts from my phone and browser works fine but I wanted the contact names to show up in the browser window. I figured Verizon was pulling the data from the cloud storage and not directly from the phone so I synced my contacts with vzw cloud but it only synced 35 out of my 350 contacts. They all originated from Google Contacts and seamlessly imported to my new phone from my old one.
    Any ideas?

        Having the ability to access your contacts via Verizon Messages is very important JoeVoorhees. I am happy to inform you that with Verizon Messages, you do have the ability to import your contacts. To do this, simply sign into your Verizon Messages online>on the upper right hand side>click on menu>manage contacts>import contacts>on the top right hand side of the page you will see a picture of your phone and sync. Click on sync.
    Thank You,

  • Why is the Verizon ellipsis 8 not compatible with verizons messaging app

    Love to understand why the Verizon texting app is not compatible with the ellipsis 8 ? I bought this Tablet to replace my old Samsung Galaxy tablet that died from over use. I was told this tablet was a very comparable it is not. Texting has to be linked to a smart phone (another purchase) ellipsis has it own number and should support it own texting
    What up with this??  As I see it just another marketing ploy

  • 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.

  • Using Verizon Messages app on iPad mini: Accessing Verizon contact list

    I am a dumbphone Verizon user. I have an extensive contact list in my phone. I use the Verizon Backup Assistant to make sure I don't lose it. I frequently use the browser version of Verizon Messages as some of the smartphones send me text messages containing graphics I cannot see on the dumbphone. This has been working great for me. My dumbphone Contacts pull up nicely. I assume this is pulling from the Backup Assistant database (Verizon Cloud?).
    Enter the tablet. I now have an iPad mini. I've installed the Verizon Messages app. The Integrated Messaging is working as expected and I can access messages from all three devices (dumbphone, tablet, PC). However, with the iPad app I am unable to see my Contacts. Is there some form of syncing that I need to initiate between Verizon Messages on the iPad and Verizon Backup Assistant? Does anyone have tips in this area?
    I do not sync any contacts to the iPad Contacts. I have so many different contact lists (Gmail, three personal email accounts,  two work email accounts, dumbphone contacts, ...) that I just wouldn't know where to begin. Plus I like having them segregated because there are SO many different people in these lists. I just want to access my dumbphone contacts with the iPad Verizon Messages app.
    Input appreciated. Thank you.

        StFuz,
    Lets get those text tones customized to just how you want them! It's going to be easy to get them just how you want them. Please open your Phone app, then select a contact from your All Contacts list. Tap Edit at the top right corner, then scroll down to customize the Text Tone. I apologize, but this is available in the native Message app for the iPhone only. Verizon Messages does not support this feature in iPhones at this time.

  • I cannot access the Verizon Messages app from any computer.  The message   app works fine across my phone and tablets but I cannot use it on my desktop.

    I get the following error message whenever I try to access the Web App for messages:
    This mobile number does not have permission to send messages and cannot sign up for this service. Please contact the account owner for this mobile number to change permissions.
    I tried Online Chat support but they could not solve the problem and suggested I post in the forum.  All I am trying to do is access my text messages on my Desktop.  I pay extra each month for Messages+.  Works fine on my phone tablets, but not on my desktop or laptop.

        gspam1, I know the importance of being able to take advantage of the Verizon Messages application on your computer. Let's look into this, together. What operating system do you have on your PC? Are you downloading the application for use with the phone number attached to your Smartphone? What type of phone do you have with us? Please share more details so we can resolve this for you.

  • Verizon Message App & Integrated Messaging

    Summary of problem: Have 2 phone lines on account. Both phones have their own separate account login user ID and password. Have 2 separate wireless iPads.
    Several weeks ago I installed the Verizon Message application on my iPad and everything worked great. I am the account holder. I was so happy to find this application. I then tried to install the application on my wife's iPad and encountered problems. Downloaded the app to iPad, put in second phone line number, belonging to wife who is designated Account Manager, requesting text message authentication. Received texted code and entered in the app. Told app to authenticate and log in. App sends authentication then returns an error. 1st Error message says "Error OK" then second message comes up saying "Disconnected - This device has been disconnected from the Integrated Messaging service. D0 you wish to browse your messages offline or erase all messages from the device and reconnect?
    Choices: Browse Offline? Erase & Disconnect? Neither choice gives any result.
    Numerous requests both through voice and text ended up with much trouble shooting and finally a first trouble ticket being initiated. This trouble ticket # unknown was closed with no trouble found. Again after numerous texts, chats, and voice contact, another trouble ticket #removed was issued on 12/21/13.This ticket generated several texts with tech's trying to resolve problem and as far as I know the ticket is still open pending resolution. I have been out of town and not heard anything further regarding the status of this ticket. The problem still exists. Have not been able to contact Verizon through chat or voice as they are always busy lately.
    Additionally, the second phone line is unable to log into the Integrated Messaging web app in My Verizon using its own user ID and PW. I also downloaded the mobile version of this application to the second phone and experienced the same error messages.
    Would like to hear from others who have this problem and any input they may have regarding the issue. I realize that the holidays sidetracked a lot of people, but this is really getting old. Will continue to try to contact tech support.

    Verizon Messages - Verizon Wireless
    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 Help and Support Tool

    On the programs list on  my computer  there is a Verizon Help and Support Tool. I already uninstalled the Verizon In Home Agent as I no longer wish to have it on my computer. but I'm still getting messages to install Verizon In Home Agent updates. I don't  want to uninstall the Verizon Help and Support Tool if it is needed for something else other than the Verizon In Home Agent. Should I remove the Verizon Help and Support Tool?

  • Verizon Messages - SMS

    iPhone 6 Plus + 8.1.3
    I have a requirement to use the Verizon Messages app for text messages on my phone.  The Verizon Messages app basically allows you to do text messages over cellular and/or wifi and stores your messages with Verizon for 90 days.  It will allow you to read messages through a web browser.  Bottom line, I want all text/sms to automatically go through Verizon Messages, and ideally no messages going through iMessage. 
    Unfortunately, When I activated my new iPhone, it seems that everyone who has an iPhone now sends messages to iMessage by default.  The Verizon Messages application tells you disable iMessage or you may run into problems.  When I disable iMessage, I no longer receive messages at all from those people who had texted me from iPhones (presumably using iMessage).  So, now I need to have both of them running, which gets kind of confusing (for me at least).
    Technically speaking, should I be able to simply disable iMessage and everything should go to SMS from other iPhones?  Or is it a necessity to have iMessage active? 
    Does any of this involve Facetime???
    Hope this makes sense...

    Hey EyeballIB,
    If you do not want to use iMessage you can totally do that. You can sign out of iMessage and that will take care of it but it can take some time to update. If you are still unable to get your messages, the people that are messaging you will need to delete their conversation thread and start a new one to get it sent as a text message. If you still have issues, take a look at the article below and there is an option to deregister iMessage.

  • 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.

  • Verizon Messages web app appears to be down.

    I noticed a few other posts with Verizon Messages troubles in the past few weeks, but tonight it looks to be straight unavailable.
    I tried connecting through Chrome (the page itself times out) and IE (the Verizon page loads but the web app itself just has a spinning wheel, forever) on two different computers (a Windows 7 desktop and a Windows 8.1 tablet) and my cell phone (Windows Phone 8.1). My internet connection is Verizon Wireless 4G LTE, so it would be a bit bizarre if it were an ISP issue; the rest of Verizon's site, including My Verizon, all loads just fine.
    I have used it in both browsers, on multiple devices, as recently as yesterday without any issue. I tried clearing all browsing data (cache, passwords, security certificates, etc.) and restarting but I still get the same thing. All other internet traffic is, obviously, coming through just fine.

    verizon says online messaging is a courtesy
    I don't know how much of a credit I would expect, but saying it's a courtesy is kind of a slap in the face.
    Don't get me wrong, I love my service; but if VZ Messages is a courtesy, it's the only courtesy I've ever seen with apps on Android and iPhone, a Desktop client, a web app, a support page, its own set of terms and conditions with an express license to use the "courtesy" (which isn't called that anywhere in any of these places), and a privacy policy. I guarantee they have used online messaging in marketing for their service.
    Yeah, I know Verizon can terminate the service any time without notice. That doesn't mean they should.
    If this is a "courtesy," so is everything else Verizon provides. Duly noted.
