Verizon Portal "web based" txt messages error 403

[VILLER2010]

Hello,

Since the recent update to the website (Verizon portal) I keep getting strange errors when attempting to check my messages or send messages. I have tried no less then 15 different computers and three different browser on all of the 15. I have used IE firefox and chrome nothing works at the moment. I had a saved link that would some times bypass the 403 error and allow me access but as of tonight it no longer seems to work at all.

The link I was using was:

https://web.vma.vzw.com/vma/redirect?goto=https%3A%2F%2Fweb.vma.vzw.com%3A443%2Fvma%2Fweb2%2FMessage...

Once logged in all i get is a page that says

403 Forbidden

The request has been refused or access is not allowed.

I have also tried clearing browser caches and reinstalled browsers. This error is  on Verizon's website end and has been annoying me a while.

I have the exact same issue.  Have been using the web app for years, but starting a few weeks ago, I now get the 403 error.  Please fix ASAP.

thanks

I too am having the same error.  I can't download the desktop client since I am on a work computer with Windows 7.  I've tried chrome (primary), firefox and explorer.  same response.  I've logged in thru private browsing, no luck.
