No tablet Verizon sells at this time has texting unless you use Integrated Messaging

The original Galaxy Tab tablet had text messaging native to the device's line of service number. All later tablets had this functionality removed.  Now you are required to use a third party application and a separate number.

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

You said you used Messaging on the tablet with the number on your PHONE.  And that's correct - the tablet sends and receives texts through your PHONE line, not the tablet line.

The Messaging app on the tablet is synced with a phone line account.  Yes, the tablet does have a phone number attached, but your $10 a month gets you a DATA connection, not a phone connection or a texting connection, unless it's through the Messages+ app.

OK Everyone what I was asking through all my text was correct

Three years ago with a Verizon tablet you had direct texting with the number assigned to the tablet..

Now with new tablets that is impossible I know that (now Dec 1). I was lied to by Verizon wireless when I upgraded to a new tablet this ellipsis 8 is a piece of crap compared to what I had stated in the texts above.
