My verizon app trouble

Just got a note 10 plus, verizon branded from best buy not unlocked. When I log into the my verizon app I get this error. App was working fine on my old phone LG G6. It looks like your device is not eligible for SMS and you do not have your email ID set up. Gives an 800 number to call. I call and it sends me a text with a link. Click the link and type in my problem and automated chat gives me link to log into app so it can help me which I can't do. I can log into my account online fine. Now what? Mary

My Verizon is such a useful account management tool. I would not be happy if it was not working for me. Have you done any troubleshooting to the app like removing it and installing it again?

There is no Uninstall option, never was on my old phones either. It comes pre-installed. When you look it up in the Google store only option is open unlike most other apps that say open or uninstsll. How do I Uninstall it? Mary

Got through to the 800 number today. Tech took me off as authorized user and added me back on and had me redo my email ID and set up a new profile and password. Logged me right into devices and plans fine. Later went into the app and asked to log in got the same error.

Called back and next tech put me as main manager of account and my husband as authorized user and redid my profile and studf and again it went right into plans and devices. Left phone a while and when I came back and opened app when it asked for log in got the same SMS error message and email ID problem. My phone number and first name are at the top of the screen its just when I go to plans or devices or click a link in messages in the app that requires log in I can't and get that error. I used the app on my old phone up until the day I got the new phone and never had this issue with the app.

I found a post from last year with similar issue. Same error code only I am not asking for a verification code. One user found a solution. I logged into to my account from a computer and I don't see anything under security that says Enhanced Authentication to try that.

Hi, acraftylady2. I'm glad to hear that you were able to connect with a representative and I'd be happy to further continue. Since you have worked with a previous representative, please confirm your name on the account and complete verification.

In addition, are you able to provide a screenshot of the error message you are receiving? This will be helpful in the event that we must file an IT ticket.

We would be happy to look into your concerns with you as well. Has this only been happening with your new device? How long have you had the device?

I just got a new Samsung Galaxy S21 on July 2nd. The Verizon app on my phone is doing this very same thing! Went back to store thought I had it fixed but once out of it and then back in. Same message. Tech support gave me a number to call but it says my number is not eligible for technical support! I have only had this phone for 4 days! I am lost on what to do or where to go??
