Message+ over wifi not working

I have a S3.  Message+ will not work over wifi.  I get a "network is not available message".  The marketing blurb on the Verizon website says Extended coverage – Send and receive messages over Wi-Fi on your smartphone, tablet, PC, Mac and web browser.  That's what I need it for.

Of course not!  The point here is, when out of cellular coverage or when in airplane mode with WiFi on, Message+ does not work.

Ive got a Moto Droid Maxx with messaging plus. I can send out on WiFi only with no issues, but receiving is delayed. I usually click on the menu on the top left of the app, and then click 'sync'. That may help you.

It acts more like email on WiFi and so I have to pull the messages in through sync instead of waiting for it to push the messages to my phone.

You can try un/reinstalling the app, and make sure its up to date from the Play Store
