verizon messaging app, not rx on Ip5s

[JEN21090]

up until about a week ago my iphone, which i use with wifi only, cellular isnt on it, and use the verizon messaging app to text, i have a flip phone that i text from too, but i could send and receive texts on my iphone 5s using the verizon messaging App and it worked great. until about a week ago when i was only receiving texts on my samsumg flip.  i can send text messages from my Iphone (wifi only) but when i receive a response it does not come thru on the iphone. ive done a network reset, a phone reset, ive deleted and reinstalled the app, nothing is on block, notifications for verizon messaging are On.  cellular data is turned off, because there is no cellular on the phone.  im with xfinity, and not sure if xfinity is now blocking things or if the IOS 10 update did something to verizon messaging. anyone have a fix for this? id like to receive messages on my iphone again.

WJ210 - The Verizon messages application is awesome as it allows you to send and receive text messages messages on multiple devices using your primary phone number. I use it all the time on my tablet and smartphone. Let me help you get the text message issue you're having resolved. Is you iPhone 5s active on your Verizon wireless account? What software does your iPhone 5s have? Settings>General>Software update.

Thanks so much for getting back to us. Let's get those messages flowing. Do you have the My Verizon app on the iPhone? Did you recently switch from a smartphone on the other line to a basic device?

hi john

No i did not recently switch from a smartphone to a basic. Ive had my basic for at least 10 yrs and have been texting and calling from that.  About a year ago I bought a Iphone 5s and use it on wifi only and have been successful with the verizon app using my cell phone number over wifi to text , Send and Receive, using my phone number.  It worked fine until about 1.5 weeks ago when it stopped receiving the texts on the Iphone (used over wifi only, no cellular on the device) i can receive on my basic phone.  I dont know why it will only Send messges now over Wifi on the Smart phone (iphone 5s used only over wifi)  i called my cable company, xfinity and verified there are not any parental controls blocking the verizon app or any other sites.

im using IOS 10.1  and it will not receive texts any longer using the verizon messaging app, it will only send.

I appreciate you taking the time to work with us to figure out what is going on with your messenger service . Just to ensure we are on the same page, you have a basic phone that you use for calls and text. However you have been using the Verizon Messages application on the iPhone 5 however on the app you are signed in with the basic device’s phone number? Does that sound correct? Also you have been getting text and picture messages from everyone through Verizon Messages on the iPhone 5, over WiFi even though you do not have service?

all of that is correct, im using the iphone 5s over wifi, no cellular, with my cell phone number 301 674 0230.  the app up for the last year has been working to send and receive text messages and pictures over wifi on my Iphone 5s (wifi only no cellular)  about a week ago it only now sends messages, and will not Receive any.   My basic flip still sends and receives, but being able to do it on the  Wifi, Iphone 5s was a great feature.

not sure why the app is not receiving now, when up until about a week ago it was working fine.

but yes to everything you said in your questions.

WJ210, thank you for the additional information. We are still here and will continue to provide assistance.  Because we want to protect your privacy, we recommend that you remove/delete or edit this post and remove your mobile number.  This is all in public and your number can be seen by everyone.

If you were or are still using a phone that does not have service or is not active on your Verizon account, we can not determine why it is not able to receive messages. Is it possible that you are using iMessage to send and receive messages?

I appreciate this information, JEN21090. Verizon Integrated messages is normally a service available for smartphone lines. I understand that you have been able to use this in the past with your Samsung basic device. When you access the Verizon Messages app on the iPhone, please select the menu icon in the upper left>Settings>Scroll to "Integrated Messaging Features" and if it is already subscribed, please unsubscribe and then attempt to resubscribe.
