Verizon Messages (Message+ App) Terms & Conditions

Effective November 30, 2021 until replaced

These Terms of Service ("Terms") for Verizon Messages (Message+ app) with Integrated Messaging and Integrated Calling service ("Service") is between you as our Subscriber and User of our Service and Verizon Wireless ("Verizon", or "we" or "us") and sets forth the terms and conditions under which you agree to use and we agree to provide the Service. By using this Service, you agree to our Terms of Service. If you are under 13 years old, you must not use this Service. You must be 16 years of age to use this Service. In addition to the minimum required age to use the Service, if you are a minor in your jurisdiction (i.e., not old enough to have authority to agree to these Terms) your parent or guardian must agree to our Terms on your behalf. If you do not agree with these Terms, you must stop using the Service. Verizon may make updates to these Terms at any time by posting them so you should check regularly for updates. By continuing to use the Service, you are accepting such revised Terms. If another person or entity is the owner of the wireless account you use for this Service, or the primary account holder of the device you are using with this Service, or a third party you have authorized to allow the viewing of your Messages including content, you authorize Verizon to share your account information and any Messages with such person, entity or third party. You are responsible for use of the Service and for use by any third parties with whom you share your account, device, or use of the Service. Any use of the Service by third parties you authorize are subject to these Terms and their use may impact your Service and/or right to use same.

  1. The Service. Verizon Messages (Message+ App) is a Verizon text messaging application that allows you to send and receive text messages subject to the limitations below. It also provides an integrated and customized messaging and calling experience across your compatible mobile phone, tablet, PC, and other devices ("Integrated Messages" and Integrated Messaging ("multi-device" feature) across your eligible mobile phones and tablets. You can send group, location and other multimedia messages ("MMS") in addition to traditional text (SMS) messages and rich communication services messages ("RCS" or "Advanced Messaging") which provides eligible users and devices a richer messaging experience where available (together "Messages"). Other features include larger group chats, customized conversations, messaging organization, automated text replies, reminders, bookmarking search, location sharing, photos, emojis, stickers, postcards, videos, camera features, scheduled texting, access to Yelp®, eGifting, and voice recording. For best performance, ensure you are using the most updated version of the app. While you may message users who do not use the Service by sending SMS or MMS messages, users can only benefit from the Service if they sign up for the Service and accept these Terms (for example, members of a group chat that have not signed up for the Service will not be able to access the Service features including the ability to send or receive large files). Media file size may vary depending if you are using cellular coverage or Wi-Fi. You may cancel the Service once activated by contacting Verizon Customer Care at: (800) 922-0204. If you sign up again at a later time, you will only receive any new messages sent to you upon re-signing up for the Service. If you choose to cancel, you will not be able to access your Messages sent or received through the Service (unless you have saved them on your device). If you cancel only Advanced Messaging, you will not be able to send or receive any new Advanced Messages (but you can continue to use SMS/MMS). Further information can be found about the Service in our FAQs: https://www.verizon.com/support/verizon-messages-faqs.
  2. Integrated Calling and Integrated Messaging ("multi-device" feature). Integrated Messaging allows you to sync your Messages across eligible devices and other eligible features. Integrated Calling allows you to make and receive calls through the Service on your smartphone and up to five additional devices which share your smartphone's phone number. If you currently use the multi-device feature you will not at this time be able to receive and send RCS messages. To use Integrated Calling and Integrated Messages you must first activate the Service on your secondary device and sync your devices per the instructions in the Message+ FAQs. You must also have access to the Internet through your device's Wi-Fi or cellular connection. If you lose your Internet connection while on a call, your call may drop. You should use the Service for all your connected devices to avoid inconsistencies in the Messaging experience (e.g., syncing, deleted or delayed messages, duplications, sent messages, read status, etc.). See details on how to sync or un-sync multi device in the FAQs.
  3. Eligibility. To use the Service you must have an eligible device (and browser) with the Message+ app downloaded and enabled, a valid U.S. mobile number, and you must agree to these Terms. The Service will not work with messaging or data blocks on your account. Advanced Messaging is only available for select Android devices. You can only send or receive RCS messaging to or from another RCS user on Verizon's network. Multi-device users at this time are not eligible to upgrade to Advanced Messaging. If you are a current Advanced Messaging user, you will have access to upgrade to the multi-device feature. Users are required to provide updated and accurate information. You represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a "terrorist supporting" country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  4. Changes to and Availability of the Service. Verizon may change, upgrade, improve discontinue, suspend or modify the Service or any part, supported devices or platforms or any features at any time without notice to you. You may cancel the Service at any time however you will not be able to access your Messages including any prior group chats. You agree that Verizon has no obligation to provide any feature or part of the Service and that we may suspend or discontinue the Service at any time in whole or in part at our discretion. Our Service may be interrupted, including for maintenance, repairs, upgrades, new releases, network or equipment failures or if we terminate or suspend your use of the Service. Events beyond our control may also affect our Service.
  5. Limitations. If you switch between the Service and another messaging service, the Service may not work, may be interrupted, or you may not be able to access Messages or content. You may need to turn off the non-Verizon messaging service for our Service to work properly. Group chat size may be limited. You may be able to switch between the Service and your native messaging app, but some limitations may apply (such as duplicate messaging, missing messages, delays, or differences in functionality). When driving mode is turned on, the app will turn off incoming audio and pop-up message notifications and send an auto-reply Message that you are driving and will reply later which can be edited or turned off (Driving Mode is only available for eligible Android devices). If you turn on the Glympse® feature, your location will be automatically shared with anyone in your whitelist contacts if they message you while driving mode is on (see also Location Data below). You can schedule texting to be sent for a specific date and time for up to one year. We may establish limits on the use of the Service including but not limited to Message size, storage, the number of Messages sent over a limited time period, etc. Verizon and other interconnected carriers may block, filter, throttle or limit Messages. The Service may be subject to outages, delays and traffic congestion and there is a risk of non-delivery or delayed delivery. There are limitations to wireless messaging which by their nature do not permit or may delay the delivery of Messages due to our network, a user's location, plan, permissions or connection. Messages may not be successfully received or sent due to use of an incompatible device or carrier service plan; a device may be turned off, out of range, or not working properly; a user's device storage may be full; or a carrier may have blocked Message(s); there may be insufficient network capacity and/or interference due to equipment, terrain, proximity to buildings, foliage, and weather. Due to cellular coverage and system limitations, we do not guarantee the availability, security, and reliability, delivery speed or timeliness of Message delivery. Certain features are not available for desktop messaging. For Advanced Messaging, media file size may vary depending if you are using cellular coverage or Wi-Fi. At this time, RCS messaging is limited to 1 to 1 conversations (i.e., no group chats) but the Message+ app group features remain available. You cannot delete the Group Chat feature in Settings. If you travel out of our coverage area, the Service will default back to standard messaging (SMS/MMS). If Advanced Messages has been turned off (or your device is off), messages may be delivered as SMS/MMS. Versions of the messaging client other than Android may not have all of the same additional features as the Android version and may only support basic messaging.
  6. Emergency 911 Calls. You can make a 911 call on a tablet through Integrated Calling, but whenever possible, you should make a 911 call on a cellular or landline phone. This is because 911 calls made over Wi-Fi or the Internet may be delayed or unsuccessful; for example, if the 911 system doesn't recognize the address, electrical power is out, or your Internet connection isn’t working. To turn on Integrated Calling, you must enter the U.S. address where you want emergency services to be sent if you call 911 from the app. It is very important that you update your 911 address whenever you change your location since this is the location that will be given to emergency services when you dial 911. You can go to Settings and change your 911 address at any time.
  7. Your Wireless Agreement. This Service is additionally subject to the terms in your agreement for wireless service with Verizon: see https://www.verizon.com/support/customer-agreement/ For corporate or government liable device users, the agreement for wireless service between Verizon and your organization applies. You must not be in violation of your Wireless Agreement when using Message+.
  8. Privacy.

  9. Message Retention. We store your Messages for up to 90 days. You can also choose to store them on your device or in a cloud service. If you schedule a Message to be sent at a later date, then we store that unsent Message until the scheduled delivery date and up to 90 days after delivery. When you delete a Message from one device, we delete it from our servers and also from your other devices (only for Android phones at the moment). This synching process may not be instantaneous. If you no longer want to use the Service on any device, then you must unsubscribe in the app Settings to stop the Service from synching and storing your messages. Deleting the app from a device or switching to another messaging service will not stop the storage of Messages unless you select Delete Account in the app Settings. During our retention period, we may Messages if required by law, court order, subpoena, or other lawful process. You acknowledge, consent and agree that Verizon may access, preserve and disclose your Messages to comply with legal process, enforce these Terms, respond to claims by third parties or questions by you, and to protect others, Verizon, our network, systems and our assets. Integrated Messaging stores Messages in the cloud. If you do not want your Messages stored in the cloud, do not use the Service.
  10. Charges. Messages sent and received over the Verizon network or a Wi-Fi network will count towards your smartphone's messaging plan and data plan. The same rate will be charged per message per recipient regardless of whether you send your message from your mobile phone, tablet, PC, laptop, or other device. For Verizon customers a) individual messages are billed as text messages (SMS); b) Messages with attachments (multi-media messages) over 5 MB, RCS files over 10 MB and certain other features will incur data charges according to your data plan, and (c) group MMS messages and messages with attachments (audio, video, photos, files, etc.) less than 5 MB or less than 10 MB for RCS messages will be charged at the MMS rate (and will not incur data charges). Data charges apply for the app and feature downloads and use of some features of the Service on the cellular network, including, but not limited to, Integrated Calling (voice and video where applicable), Glympse®, Yelp®, eGifting, previewing images, auto-reply, muted/unmuted conversations, scheduled messages, updates to group details, public profile updates, sending/receiving standard or high resolution videos, location and search functions, and for the synchronization of Messages among your devices. eGift cards will be billed based on the value of the eGift card selected. Standard multi-media (MMS) message rates apply for the sender and recipient of the eGift card. When using the Service outside of the US, Global Data charges will apply. Visit www.verizon.com/global for more information. Non-Verizon customers are billed under your own provider's messaging and data plans.
  11. Integrated Calling Charges. You can use Integrated Calling with no additional monthly service fee. However, you will incur data usage charges in accordance with your data plan. If you transfer a call among connected devices, each transfer will be billed as a separate call and will be billed accordingly. Also, depending on your service address, you may be assessed an additional 911 charge if required by law. Any call made from a tablet to a U.S. number will be treated as a domestic call, no matter where the call originates, and will not count against your calling plan, except for calls made to premium numbers such as 411. Any call made from a tablet to a non-U.S. number will be treated as an international long distance call that originates in the U.S., which is subject to U.S. taxes, fees and Verizon surcharges, no matter where the call actually originates.
