I am unable to add or remove my contacts to the messages on a PC. Some strange subset of contacts shows up on the list.
The Message+ app on my PC has a contact list that matches that on my Droid Turbo 2 phone. I believe this is a result of the Sync'ing. What kind of phone is linked to the Message+ app on your PC?
I have an Android phone, but my contacts never came over. My windows contacts don't match the app. Only GOD knows where these contacts are coming from?
I just added a contact in the Message+ app on my PC and after Sync'ing, it did NOT show up on my phone's contact list. Also, the reverse, adding a new contact to my phone's contact list and starting/stopping/sync'ing the Message+ app on my PC does NOT show the newly added contact in my phones' list. It could be that the contact list is imported from the phone at the time the Message+ app is installed on the PC and Sync'ed for the first time.
The contact list on my PC actually matches an old version on my phone and not the current contact list. It isn't Sync'ing the contact list from my phone. Apparently it is getting the list from somewhere my old list was stored. Maybe someone monitoring this forum can shed some light.
AHA! I think I found where the Messages+ Contact List is coming from. Log into My Verizon, hover over My Plan & Services, click on My Cloud Media and Contacts, select Contacts....Voila! (I think)
MYCCOP,
I'm sorry to hear about the contact issue with your messages on your PC. I'll be happy to get this this fixed for you. jav6, did provide some great information about where these mystery contacts are coming from. Were you able to duplicate this too?

It's important to have the correct contact list, jav6. You are correct, you will see the current information from your Cloud app in your My Verizon account online in the My Contacts and Media section. If you are not seeing the right information in the PC app please remove and reinstall the program on your PC to update the information. There is a link for the desktop download at the top of this page: http://vz.to/2hU6Dn8 . Does this help?

LaurenC_VZW,
I have removed/installed the Message+ PC app multiple times on both my PC and Laptop. I've added test contacts on my phone, backed up to the Cloud, deleted them from my phone and what shows in my contacts list on the PC or Laptop Message+ app is inconsistent. It appears the PC app is getting the contacts info from somewhere and creating a Verizon.dat SQL database in the AppData>Roaming>Verizon>WinVMAClient>Data folder. The information obtained contains old info (contact pictures and name). Wherever it is getting that from is not being kept in sync with the Cloud backup of contacts. When the PC app is uninstalled, these folders in the WinVMAClient are removed and recreated when the app is re-installed.
Yes my phone saves contacts to google.
Thanks for this additional information, MYCCOP. Let me continue to work on this issue related with the contact. What's the make and model of your device? Are you able to access the contacts and the messages via the cloud?

Thanks for confirming. Google is definitely a valid option for saving contacts, but the Verizon Messaging service will not see contacts stored on Google's cloud. In order to view your contacts on Messages+, they must be stored in the Verizon Cloud. In order to add your current contacts to Messages+, the best thing to do is to uninstall Verizon Messages. Once removed, download Verizon Cloud and sync your contacts. When your contacts are synced in the Cloud system, redownload and begin using Messages+. Your contacts will then appear when accessing Verizon Messages on the PC.
