message plus wont scan qr codes

[DAWMIS94]

I have read many people including myself have been frustrated with not being able to scan the qr code  when trying to use the message plus app. I have spent hours with Verizon tecnical support and the problem has still not been solved. I just installed the Mysms app from the google store on my computer , Phone and  samsung tablet and it works perfectly.

After trying every tip I came across on here, snapping at every member of my family and just about pulling out my hair I chose a different messaging app as well... sad just sad

@vzw_customer_support , @davidr_vzw  Being on the 'same page' shouldn't be too difficult.  There is ONLY one page in this thread and the title identifies the app in question: MESSAGE+.

You have to scan the code sent to your phone with the rear facing camera on your tablet or other device you are trying to activate.

You have to scan the code with the rear facing camera.  Not the selfie camera.

Great answer, please let us know if we can help at all.

The rear facing camera on your phone to your tablet? The code comes in a selfie format.

The rear-facing camera on your phone to your tablet? Because the code comes in in selfie mode.

I am in Colorado setting up a tablet for my parents who are quarantining in Florida. I don't have access to their phone right now. Can I do something else to verify and install message+?
