Messaging stopped working on Motorola Droid phones after KitKat update

This happened on both my Droid mini phones on my account. My Droid Ultra went through the update with no issues. Verizon tech support did everything including sending a replacement device but with no success. Finally Verizon suggested disabling the native messaging app and installing Verizon Messaging from the play store. I did this for both droid minis (my wife's and her sisters) and it seems to be working great. My wife and sister-in-law like the fact it offers better customization of layout and interface. It uses your messaging plan and not data. I will update this post if any problems develop but for now this is the best option for Verizon customers in my opinion.
