Viewing SENDING AND RECEIVING TEXT ONLINE

[textgirl]

Does Verizon offer the ability to view, send and receive text messages on line? A few months ago I was able to complete the task by logging into my verizon account and selection view text online using my laptop. Has the recent changes to verizon message plus impacted  me being able to  view,send and receive text through my online verizon account ?

Verizon's Text Online feature was discontinued December 2023 with Messages by Google being recommended to use.  

Also, the Message+ platform appears to be scheduled for retirement in 2024:

These changes are coming to Verizon Messages (Message+):

• Message+ app Shutdown - On or about June 2024, Verizon will start to shut down the Verizon Message+ app. Once the Message+ app is shut down, you won’t be able to use the Message+ app to send and receive messages.
• Messaging Web Client Access - The ability to send and receive text messages on Verizon’s website is discontinued as of 12/11/23. Your message history will remain. You can continue to use the Android™ and iOS versions on mobile devices or the Mac® desktop version. We recommend using Google Messages to continue to send and receive text messages in a web browser.
  • Get instructions on how to use Google Messages on your laptop and eligible mobile device at Check your messages on your computer or Android tablet.
  • For iOS mobile devices, you can send and receive messages only through the Message+ mobile app.
• eGift cards will no longer be available to buy through Message+ after April 2024. You can redeem previously purchased eGift cards after this date.

Android users: We recommend switching from Message+ to Google Messages on your Android devices before June 2024. Download Google Messages directly from the Google Play Store if it's not already on your Android device.

Note: While we do system maintenance before the shutdown of Message+, other participants in your group texts may see messages with a 588 area code stating that your number has “left the group”.

This doesn’t require any action on your part. You can delete or ignore these network notification texts.
