I just accessed Message+ via the website, after logging in to My Verizon and selecting Send a Message from Plans & Services (https://web.vma.vzw.com/vma/webs2/Message.do ) and connected fine. Using IE, MS Edge, FireFox and Chrome browsers, they all connected but only showed two most recent message strings.  The website access is NOT in sync with the desktop app nor the phone, tablet app in showing message strings.  This doesn't sound like your issue but is an issue and could be related.

Are you using your profile login or phone number login to access the website?  I don't think it should be any different but might be.  Also, which browsers have you tried?
