Bring back e gift cards for message+!!!

CLASAN49
Newbie

Why did message  app stop allowing us to send e gift cards?! I'm very upset about this, we use this feature often and I just spent a considerable amount of time on the phone with customer/tech support only to find out that my phone was not the problem but that the feature was possibly no longer available! I even tried resending an old e gift card from last month which worked but only it wasn't a new gift card, it was the same one. It was a replica of the one I had sent before.

This feature was not worthless, or unused. So please bring it back?!

DRAGNSKRATCH,

 

Sending eGifts is a popular feature through Message+, but let's get more information on this first. Are you completely missing the option to send a card? Please provide exact steps you go through when trying to purchase one to send. Also, are you using your phone to attempt to send these, or another device such as a tablet or computer?

Yes the option is completely missing. I'm using my phone and when I press the + all that pulls up is Gallery, Places, Search, Glympse, Collage, Contact Card, & More. I checked in More but it's not there either.

I appreciate you taking time to troubleshoot. What model is your phone? Are you running the latest version of Message+ as found via the Play Store or App Store?

I am a consumer too, and I know how convenient it is to purchase eGifts via Message+, CHRHOL56. You indicate that you were able to get eGifts with your previous phone. Did you replace your device after 3/20/2018, and is your device the primary phone on the account?

 

This is important because if you signed up after 3/20/18, eGift cards won’t be available for purchase through secondary devices. Please confirm at number one under the eGift Cards section at this link: https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/verizon-messages-faqs/

I was able to purchase eGifts on this very same phone and did so on February 24, 2018. There have been zero changes to my account at all since then and there is only one phone on my account.

I do not use facebook or twitter. Why would you not help me here so that the other people also having this issue may benefit from this?

I copied and pasted what was in my inbox into the thread in my previous reply. I obviously do not require instructions on how to check my inbox. The message was not helpful at all. In fact, this entire thread is not helpful at all. I simply want to know if the app is broken or has the eGift feature been removed?

We want to make sure you are able to access the egift option. I do apologize if our response was not helpful, but I am here to make sure your concerns are addressed. To better assist what kind of phone do you have? Also, do you have the latest up to date application and software installed on your device?

Since Verizon Wireless Customer Support is either unable or unwilling to help... It seems that uninstalling the broken app and reinstalling reuturned the option to send eGifts.
