Dear Verizon Wireless...

It is not the devices, it is the software...  it could be a problem with the Flavor or Version of Windows, but it is not the device...

It works on my Verizon controlled Samsung... my Verizon controlled iPad, but my Dell Windows 10 computer, it only works about 50 percent of the time.  It also seems to be related to the source of the messages...   I am receiving messages from other Verizon users no problem, but users with AT&T or Cricket will only go to my phone and ipad, but not computer.
