Jayrose-

We want your phone to work without any issues. May I ask if your phone is unlocked? Are you activating it on a Postpaid or Prepaid account?

If you are trying to sync your messages from another activated phone to the unactivated BB Key2 with Messages+ application, the sync won't work as the application has recognized the Key2 as a phone. The application is looking for the activated phone number on the Key2 and it isn't finding it. 

 

Now if you are attempting to activate the Key2 as a phone, you might not be able to if the phone isn't capable of VoLTE calls. Verizon Wireless will no longer activate phone that use only the CDMA network for calls. 

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

You won't be able to sync up the text messages until the phone is activated on the line.

Jayrose, we want to ensure you can sync your messages to your new device as needed. Did your number activate to the BB Key2 device when you inserted your SIM card. Is it allowing all services (calls, texts and data)? What device did you have those messages stored on previously? How were you backing up those messages on the old device?
