OK, people... I don't claim to have a solution to this problem, but I think that I am onto something regarding the cause of this issue. I, too, have noticed that when I access the Messaging+ section of the Verizon wireless website (using the browser on my Asus laptop), it claims to have a few "unread" messages, but I cannot see them in the listing of messages that appear. When I access all of my SMS messages on my phone, all of the messages in my inbox have been read! When comparing the messages on my phone with the messages I see on the internet web browser, I have noticed that special messages which come directly from Verizon Support (such as: a message acknowledging a recent payment of my wireless bill, or a message announcing that a bill payment is due in a few days, or a message announcing that my Verizon Wireless messages have been accessed by a previously unregistered device or web browser...) -- these customer support messages show up on my phone, where I can read them, *BUT* they NEVER show up on the Verizon web version of the messaging area!! That is to say, I can read them and/or delete them on my cell phone, but I never have the opportunity to see them or read them on the web! HOWEVER, in spite of the fact that they fail to appear within the listing of messages on the web page, these same customer support messages are NEVERTHELESS "counted" when it comes to that web page showing a total tally of the number of "unread" messages. I cannot delete them from the web page, because I cannot see them! They are "invisible", as it were. I darkly suspect that what is actually going on here is that the Messaging+ system is "filtering" OUT Verizon system messages and NOT permitting them to appear in the listing on the web page. But, they are permitted to show up on my cell phone itself. Oh... and, by the way, they ALSO nicely show up on my Verizon messaging app that is installed on another device -- my iPad!!! Does this shed some light upon this weirdness???
