Verizon messenger no longer sends SMS over Wifi unless I'm in airplane mode

In my house, I have very spotty cell reception. I used to rely on Verizon messenger to send my SMS messeges over wifi when I would lose reception. Unfortunately it stopped working recently. I'm not sure what exactly caused it. I tried doing a factory reset of the application and it still gives me the problem.

If I have the phone with no cell reception and wifi on, it refuses to connect to wifi and will eventually fail to send:

But If I put my phone in airplane mode and turn on wifi so it has no access to cell towers, it sends over wifi just fine:

As soon as I come out of airplane mode, it disconnects from verizon sync via wifi and won't connect. Is there any way to force the app to prefer wifi?

Still not working. Tried doimg a factory reset to 4.4.4.  It seems the only way for me to get mms messages now is to enable airplane mode.
