I clicked on the link and selected Market, but it gave me an error saying could not find item.

I just spoke with Amanda from Verizon Wireless customer service, she said this is legitimate and safe to go ahead and click on the link.

I just called tech support and confirmed this does NOT appear to be a VZW msg. Their texts should come from numbers beginning "90008000" and this one is from 90007000. DO NOT INSTALL this application. She was going to let their security department know but it's likely an app that will hack your passwords if you do online banking etc.

Well, as others pointed out above, on the Verizon site we have:
http://support.vzw.com/system_update/lg_ally.html
which references the same app, which is made by LG, who probably don't distribute too much malware for their own phones.

Yes, but the txt did not come from Verizon, and she had no knowledge of an upcoming update. I would be very cautious about installing this until you know exactly what's going on.

So which is it. Real or fake. I have read some where that it's real but can't remember where now. I would like to see an Ally 2 with way more memory then the current one. Can't so much with 152.00 mb of memory currently. Need at least 8. A lot of the applications can't run off the SD card. I would be the first to get it if they come out with one by the time I am ready for a new phone next Year on November 30th. I love my Ally but needs more memory.

Thank you everyone for your replies. Just to clarify, the message you received is not a scam. As previously stated, you can go to the following link for additional information"
http://support.vzw.com/system_update/lg_ally.html
Also, if the link does not work from the text message, you can go to the Market and search for Upgrade Utility for Ally to download the application.
Thank you,

Good to know that anyone can send me any random message and preface it with "Free VZW Msg" and provide some random link and I'm supposed to trust it.
Great policy, Verizon. I'll keep this in mind when it comes time to renew my contract.
