What is the URL for the web service for the Windows Messaging+ app? Im behind a proxy and it always fails to connect. There is no option under settings for defining a proxy.
Thanks mnswhit & community. At this time it does not appear as though it is possible to set a proxy for the messaging app. Your feedback is greatly appreciated because it seems as though this is something that is desired. We will be sure to submit your feedback to our internal software teams. TamaraH_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupport
Hi BrianRVT1!Let's get this figured out! Are you attempting to view the message from your phone or computer? Which device do you have? Is this an application you downloaded? Please clarify.Thanks,AyaniB_VZWFollow us on Twitter @VZWSupport
I'm having this problem also. I downloaded the Message+ app from this page: Verizon Messages - Verizon Wireless
It works fine from home but when I'm at work behind a proxy server I get the following message. "Failed to connect to the server. Please check your network connection and click Yes to retry or No to exit the application." As stated above, there doesn't seem to be any way to specify a proxy server in the settings. I was really hoping this would replace MightyText for me but not being able to use a proxy server is a show stopper.
I want to help those messages go through grclark. Are you on wireless or wifi when you're at work. Any difficulties with other apps or functions while there?JonathanK_VZWVZWSupportFollow Us on Twitter@VZWSupport
Just to be clear, we're talking about the desktop PC application for
Windows -- not the phone app. Other applications such as Spotify, Dropbox,
etc. work only when I configure them to use a specific proxy server. The
Message+ desktop application doesn't seem to all the user to specify a
proxy server anywhere in the settings.

Should I interpret your lack of response as you no longer "want to help those messages go through"?
grclarkSorry for the delay! We're definitely here to help. Since the error is only happening at work, it sounds like something on your work's network that is causing this error. Are you on your work computer or a personal computer you brought from home? Is the computer connected to your work's WiFi/internet or VZW data through your phone's hotspot or a MiFi?RuthW_VZWFollow us on twitter @VZWSupport
I too have this problem, PLEASE GIVE MESSAGE+ desktop app the ability to configure a proxy in it's settings. Or give us some other solution to get though a network proxy. I know this is the issue with using it at work, if you truly do what to help, then ether give the information we need to get through the proxy, or update teh app to enable us to configure it to use the proxy.
t_winner, Let's work on your app to get it up and running again. Please try a different wi-fi connection on your PC and let us know if it works. Make sure you're using the correct phone number to access the desktop application. AdaS_VZWFollow us on Twitter at @VZWSupport
Verizon rep, What we are asking for is if the Desktop Message+ app for Windows has support for Proxy servers. It has been confirmed already that they are not having issues outside their work network. It's also pretty evident that everyone already knows exactly what the issue is. How to set the program to go through a proxy server would be useful information, or even a response of if this is even possible.
