Who I have the same questioned this topic

I've been using the Verizon Palm as a companion phone for about 3 years now. The battery life is crummy but it's a nice little phone to keep me connected with calls or texts while running instead of bringing along my big Samsung.

Today, Message+ no longer works. I get an error message that it needs to be upgraded, but the Google Play store says the phone is not compatible. So, I can still get phone calls on my main number routed to this but can no longer get my main number texts (or text out). I've tried updating the OS but the version from about 3 years ago is the most recent.

Does anyone know if Verizon has a patch/fix forthcoming? This was pitched as a "stay in touch by phone or text" limited utility phone and until yesterday it was. It would be great to get back that functionality.

Thanks.
