Enabling Verizon Messages+ duplicated ALL of my text messages

Galaxy S5 with latest stock Android 4.4.4

I was using Samsung Messages without problems. I tried to enable Verizon Messages+ so I could text over wifi while traveling and during the sync process (which was unexpected, annoying and took a long time) it duplicated ALL of my text messages.

It's not duplicating new messages, it just duplicated the old ones when I first enabled it.

How do I fix this? I'm not willing to lose all of my old messages.

thanks,

Andrew

Is it still duplicating messages on old threads when you send a new message, or are you just having issue with old messages having been duplicated but no more?

No new duplicates, just the ones that were duplicated when I first enabled Messages+.

I reverted to Samsung Messages, forced Messages+ to stop, cleared its data and cache, and turned it off which also caused updates to be uninstalled.

thanks

Glad you got it working correctly.

Well, it's working correctly now but I'm stuck with 1000s of duplicate messages so it's not resolved.

It would be great to find a way to clean up the duplicates, and also ensure it won't happen again if I try Messages+ again.
