    Text/picture messaging:

    To ensure your device is sending and receiving text/picture messages as expected:

    1. Make sure cellular data is turned on and working normally. (You may need to turn Wi-Fi off.) Once you verify cellular data is working, make sure you can receive messages normally. If the problem persists, proceed to step 2.
    2. After setting up the phone again, retest to make sure it’s working as expected.

    Verizon Cloud issues:

    • For cloud related issues please go to the Microsoft Store, search for Verizon Cloud. Once installed, you should be able to use Verizon Cloud.

      If this doesn't work complete a factory reset and then download the app again. Make sure you’ve backed up all of your personal data before performing a factory reset.

    Please go to the following web address to view known workarounds for Windows 10: http://vzam.net/uploadedFiles/VZAccessManagerWindows10Information.pdf*. Any issues with the Verizon Access Manager and your USB modem aren’t network related, but are due to compatibility problems between your device and the Windows 10 operating system. Please investigate alternate wireless connection options.

     

    RIM OS

    Messaging issues:

    • From the home screen go to Options > Device > Advanced System Settings > Browser Push and make sure all of the following options are checked: (enable push, enable MDS push, enable WAP push, allow WAP push application)
    • From the home screen go to Messages > Menu > Options > Text Messaging and make sure "Multimedia Reception" and "Automatic Retrieval" are set to "Always" or "Home Only".
