When I am in the vicinity of my granddaughter's school my cell phone is not getting an internet connection.  This is a recent development because just two weeks ago it was working fine.  I tried to find out how to turn off 5g in the hope that maybe I would get a 4g signal but that didn't work.  I have a new Samsung S23 Ultra that I've only had for about 3 weeks and my wife is having the same problem with her similar phone.  As soon as I get about a half a block away, the internet starts working again.

I am making this post in case someone else has the same issue I had after changing to a new phone.  I was unable to setup my voicemail.  Every time I tried to set it up, I received a message that said "something went wrong" (very helpful, I know).  I happened to be looking at my status bar while trying to figure it out and notice the VPN icon!  Then I realized that maybe it was the VPN interfering.  I opened my NordVPN app and added the VoiceMail app to the list of apps allowed by the split tunnel option and then I was able to set it up.  Hopefully, this will help someone else having this problem.

     I have had the same problem on two separate desktops.  The problem is that the app is a resource hog.  When it was installed on my laptop I allowed it to go to sleep.  Then when I woke it up to use it, it did not become useable at all until I forceably rebooted it.  I uninstalled the app and never had the problem again.  I tried using it several months ago with the same issue so I uninstalled it and just tried again a couple of weeks ago hoping it had been fixed. The other computer (at work) has 16GB or RAM, an Intel Xeon CPU E5-2637 v2 @3.5 GHz (2 processors) and Message Plus also brought it to it's knees.      I complained about my problem to Verizon but the person that looked at my issue apparently doesn't speak English or is a technically challenged person who shouldn't be working in the field.  I described my problem as being a CPU hog and the technician seemed to think I was complaining about storage space or something.  The last reply I got from them did not allow me to reply so I guess they didn't want to hear from me about it anymore.  Anyway, I am still using the web application.  I can't believe other people aren't complaining about this but maybe they are just silently going back to the web app which works fairly well.

Thank you for your reply.  My hybrid drive has 750 GB of storage with about 400 GB free.  I'm pretty sure it will fit on the hard drive.  It has 8 GB of ram.  As I said in my earlier post, I had the application installed and was using it which is how I found out it is a cpu hog.  Obviously, if it didn't have room to download it I would not have been able to install or run it.
Desktop version of Message+ is a CPU Hog

     I really like using Message+ on my pc, especially at work.  I can't install the desktop version at work but I tried it at home and it just kills my PC.  I have a relatively late model laptop with an I7, a hybrid 7200 rpm drive and 8Gb of ram so I don't think my laptop hardware is inadequate.  I tried the desktop version about a year ago with the same result.  When I have Message+ running on my laptop, it just hogs my CPU.  Once it gets done syncing (I guess that's what it's doing) it seems ok.  I know it's not my network as I run 2 screens of video streaming such as Amazon Video or Netflix all the time and there isn't even so much as a slight buffering problem.  My network uses 80211.ac and I have a very good connection through Cox.  The last time I woke my laptop after only being asleep for about an hour, I waited more than 10 minutes for the logon screen to appear.  Eventually, I had to reboot to get it working.  When I did get it working again it took an unusually long time to get to the desktop screen.  I can't afford to wait around for such a long time in order to have the convenience of using the desktop app.      The web version does not behave this way but I don't like having to sign in all the time. I also like the idea that the desktop version comes up automatically when I restart my computer.  It's just not worth the wait. Has anyone else found  a solution for this besides uninstalling?
