Fresh101,


We understand that those text messages are important. Let’s work together to restore those messages. Do get an error message when restoring from the cloud? Does it give you a total or time to restore?

They simply aren't there anymore. I had several thousand messages backed up on the cloud. Now there is only one message. I hadn't deleted them. They simply disappeared.

Were you using the Messages+ application? That will only restore the last 90 days of messages. Also, have you checked the trash? Are you 100% positive that the Verizon Cloud app was set to backup messages (automatically) on the original device?

We don't want you missing any of your messages Fresh101. Let's see what we can find here. Did you recently switch phones? From the Cloud app on your phone, when you go to Menu>Tools>Content Restore>is this where it is showing 0 saved messages?

Fresh101-


We haven't given up hope yet. Let's dig a little bit deeper. When you log onto you My Verizon account to view your Cloud, is it showing 0 messages as well? What make/model phone did you have previously and what is the new phone that you are currently using?
