Spent 3 hours on the phone with Verizon support 4 weeks ago and was assured the problem would be fixed. Still is not fixed and unable to receive SMS texts on my WiFi tablet. Verizon will not allow Samsung messaging application to sync with the phone so forced to used Message Plus.
The A7 is a new tablet. If Verzion is forcing the use of Message Plus then it should be well supported.
Very Frustrated Verizon Customer
