I am getting 403 Forbidden when I attempt to access Messenger via my laptop. It worked fine two days ago.

Hello. We want for you to be able to access messages through your laptop again. You've come to the right place for assistance. Is it Verizon Messages Plus you are using or a different type of messenger? Has there any recent changes on your computer, such as a software update?

Verizon doesn't want to be in the messenger business;  I tried for hours with support trying to install the old desktop version...they had no clue as to what I was talking about.

They're jerking us around, plus I'm getting the old "403 Forbidden" message.

Get another messenger app, this sucks too much.

Lets get on the same page with the correct terms.  Are you referring to Verizon's Message+ desktop application or Facebook's Messenger application?  On my Windows 10 machine, Message+ works fine, syncing with my integrated Android phone and iPad Message+ apps.  Also, Facebook Messenger opens fine as well.

Verizon messenger on desktop.  Just tried to login, get the same message; 403 Forbidden.

The old messenger was great, the new web version doesn't work...maybe on occasion it works.

Still confusing.  It isn't Verizon Messenger, but Verizon Message+.

Basset3, I can understand enjoying a previous version of the VZ Messenger. We do our best to balance bringing new features and access that would benefit the app's users; while keeping elements that they enjoyed from earlier versions. I don't want you to have trouble accessing the Messages online. To get an idea of what's causing you to get the 403 message on your browser, I'd like to ask a few questions.

What browsers have you tried accessing the site with? Do you have any trouble trying use the Message+ app on your smartphone? Can you sign in to My Verizon normally without trouble?
