Why can't I send voice messages to landlines?

I was able to send text to voice messages to two contacts who don't have cell phones with text capability. Suddenly, they stopped going through. Both are Verizon customers. I've spent several hours trying to get Verizon to help (understatement). Finally got a trouble ticket opened, but when I called to follow up was told the last agent I spoke with didn't note the phone numbers I was trying to send to. Trouble ticket was opened, about a week later, I was told it was resolved. It worked for an hour. Support is now ignoring me. I am out of time and patience. HELP?

Thank you...

They want you to send them a private message (i.e., not posted on this public forum) using these instructions:

You'll need to send them a Follow request by clicking the Follow button on the upper right-hand side of their profile page, i.e., click here: 

They'll have to approve the Follow request and also send you one that you'll have to approve (click the Actions button at the top of the page, it looks like a checkmark, to check for Follow requests).  Once you both are Following each other, then you can send them a Direct Message (that button also is located on their profile page).

(removed) is what you have, and that ticket number, (removed), is CORRECT, according to the last text received from Verizon on 3/18. I am thoroughly DISGUSTED. Nobody from the local Verizon store has gotten back to me after yet MORE wasted "hold" time...This is unacceptable and ridiculous!!!!!! It has been going on for over a month!!!!!!!!
