My vtext.com messages began to fail on 6/13/2120.
Same here! Its a few days already and it does not look like it will be fixed anytime soon......
Same issue here. Messages showing up a day or more late. Started roughly June 13th, also somewhere in that time frame got an update to the Message+ app on the phone. May or may not be related, but if this continues I'm bailing for T-Mobile in a heartbeat. This happened a few years ago when VZW started using a new cloud based spam filter, finally got that issue taken care of and here we are again. Stop wrecking services that people have come to rely on!
RCG1520, we want to make sure your text messages are working without issue. If your matter is only present in the Message+ app and not the native text messaging app to the phone, please launch the app and tap on the top left menu. Then, tap on Get Help and report a bug or you can send an email to our app developer team about the issue at verizonmessages@verizonwireless.com. Be sure to indicate your phone make and model and app version.
I have the same issue with the native text messaging app to the phone,
since the last weekend, when I try to send a message from my Gmail account to my cellphone using <myPhoneNumber>@vtext.com or <myPhoneNumber>@vzwpix.com it bounces back, I never had a problem till now.
We are so very sorry to hear of this issue Shul, we want you to be able to communicate effectively. At this point, we suggest contacting Google support for assistance. You can get that support, here: https://support.google.com/
Nothing with the app! its a global problem...
We are having the same issue, all our employees who are verizon users that get notifications to their cell phone from us via email to [email address removed per the Verizon Terms of Service] are no longer receiving messages.
On the back end, we see this error message coming in:
| Delivery incomplete |
| There was a temporary problem delivering your message to [email address removed per the Verizon Terms of Service]. Gmail will retry for 47 more hours. You'll be notified if the delivery fails permanently. |

According to @vzw_customer_support in
https://community.verizon.com/t5/Verizon-Messages/Emails-not-arriving-to-VZWPIX/td-p/1214235/page/4 :
"This is currenly a known issue. There have been reports of server timeouts/error messages as well as delays in sending messages from Gmail accounts. Messages from Gmail/G suites to VZ consumer domains may be throttled or blocked due to high volumes of malicious messages originating from Gmail email addresses using Google's outbound services. This does not have anything to do with the specific sender, but with the volume of malicious messages received from Gmail as a whole. System enhancements will be going into place on the 23rd that will hopefully help to alleviate the malicious content volume, thereby reducing delays on normal emails from gmail's servers."
Has this problem with gmail messages to vtext.com been resolved?
I use vzwpix.com to email text messages and it's been working successfully for the last several months.
There are still some users who are unable to send messages to (mobile number)@vtext.com when sending from GMail. It is difficult to find the cause of this, since the issue happens based on Google traffic at that exact moment. Some computers and servers then "hold on" to that error, and kick the error back for every subsequent attempt to send to vtext. It is not something that is being caused or affected by Verizon Wireless.

My vtext and vzwpix are not working. It is March 8, 2022.
Puskaitis, were you able to report the issue to our developer team? Are you receiving a specific error message?

I saw another thread on this issue and tested myself. I found that when sending the email for texting to my phone to vtext.com or vzwpix.com from my Comcast mail account it works fine. But when using my Gmail account (mobile app or Google web site) it fails or is extremely delayed. This is a Google mail server to Verizon mail server issue.
I am having the same problem as described by SpankyMcFarland
Gmail will not send to vtext.com. Is there a possible problem with using a VPN? I am getting different error messages. Two pasted below.

garyst, we would like to provide you with the correct set of expectations in regard to your Gmail to Vtext issues that you're having. This has been determined to be a known issue. There have been reports of server timeouts/error messages as well as delays in sending messages from Gmail accounts. Messages from Gmail/G suites to VZ consumer domains may be throttled or blocked due to high volumes of malicious messages originating from Gmail email addresses using Google's outbound services. This does not have anything to do with the specific sender, but with the volume of malicious messages received from Gmail as a whole. System enhancements will be going into place on the 23rd that will hopefully help to alleviate the malicious content volume, thereby reducing delays on normal emails from Gmail's servers.
Does this information help?

My wife and I have the same problem. I have an android and she has an apple. Started a few days ago.
It's important to make sure you and your wife are able to receive messages from vtext.com and from vzwpix.com Tell me, do you get an email or message explaining it couldn't be delivered? What steps are you taking? Have you tried using a different device (tablet or a laptop)?
