We cannot troubleshoot this issue unfortunately.

(Go to Main Menu>About to find your app version.)

How to get your MOBILE CONTACTS onto your PC app :

1- Backup your contacts on your phone to your VZ Cloud account on your phone. Then, on the PC, select CONTACTS in Main Menu (3bars) to import your contacts.

IF this does not work for you...

If your Google or other contacts do NOT load to the Tab/PC you can imported them. BELOW are steps that will help you import contacts to the Tablet and Desktop.

HOW TO IMPORT MOBILE CONTACTS to your PC/Tablet

First, back up your contacts on the phone to your FREE VZ Cloud account. VZ Cloud is pre loaded to your phone, or you can download it from Play Store.

For Contacts that do not automatically port, you will need to export the contacts file from the mobile’s native address book onto the desktop then to your VZ Cloud account. Once the contacts are in your VZ Cloud account, they will import to your Verizon Messages desktop program:

Connect the mobile device to the PC > If prompted, select Media Device (MTP) or Mass Storage on the device
From the device, navigate to the Address Book.
Menu key > Import / Export > Export to USB storage (note this may vary by manufacturer)
From the PC, find your phone icon under My Computer > Search for VCF file, usually in root directory
Copy this file to your desktop/or documents library

Now, Go to www.myverizon.com to import the contacts:

Log in to (or create) your Verizon Wireless account
The screen header will show ‘Shop’, ‘Support’ and ‘My Verizon’. HOVER over ‘My Verizon’ > then HOVER over My Device> then Select ‘My Cloud Media and Contacts’
You are now in your Cloud Account.
Select ‘Contacts’ in the Left column
Click on the Add icon (person icon with a plus sign)
Click on 'Choose file'
Choose Contacts.vcf file, then Open
Contacts should be updated within 5-10 mins
Go to Main Menu> Contacts on the Desktop to see contacts.

To aliem_vzw :

While we appreciate the desktop app, it does use a lot of RAM, and is rather slow on a 12gb core i7 laptop. WHich leads me to believe it is only a 32-bit application, preventing it from accessing larger amounts of RAM to run smoother. While it is compatible with a 64-bit operating system, it is not optimized for a 64-bit system. Why not create a second version that is 64-bit only, so it can access more RAM so it can run smoother on 64-bit systems?

I end up using the webapp because it is so much more faster than "messages +" desktop app. I'm simply suggesting an idea that would greatly speed up the desktop application.

Thanks,

Nice app, for a short while. I can't stay continuously logged in (kids), so I log in each morning, and log out when the kids return from school. Today though, I clicked the button to receive the 6-digit pin, typed it into the Messaging app on my PC, and got a message saying invalid PIN. I had typed it correctly. Tried 4 more times. Tried a reboot and tried again. No luck. UNINSTALL.

There seems to be a conflict between the Windows 10 version of the app, and Covenant Eyes filter. Are there specific servers I should be adding to my "allow list"? Oddly enough I don't have this issue with the Windows 7 version of the app on the same PC!

I need to use Verizon Messages+ (called Verizon Messages in the Microsoft store) on my "WINDOWS7" PC. Verizon doesn't support/make available a version for Windows 7, so I guess I need to find an older version of this APP? i saw in this post that Version 1.0.17.0 runs on WINDOWS 7, so do I just need to find that old version somewhere & download & install it?

I know i can use the WEB APP version of this, but I need to have all my text messages locally on my PC because ...

Can someone please tell me where I can find & download Version 1.0.17.0 ?

Thanks in advance for any help!

PC- Where to find the old version of Verzion Messages+ on your desktop PC

1) Windows Vista & Windows 7 - (Desktop only )– install the app (Version 1.0.17.0) from the bottom link below. The first link is to find Spiceworks.com link ehich will lead you to the second link.

Use the 'Download Desktop App' button, not the old version on the Verizon Wireless website.

You can find the old version link through the Spiceworks.com website:listed at the bottom of their page, or go to the direct link I have below.

I dont know why Verizon stopped allowing downloads of their Windows 7 .exe program for messaging +

But go here below to the direct link to actually download the file:

"https://web.archive.org/web/20150717102459/https://web.vma.vzw.com/downloads/Message+.exe"

I downloaded it and it worked flawlessly. I have a older laptop which the new desktop app for windows 10 won't work for me. This is why I was also looking for the older version to download.

Thanks for the links !!!!!
