Avast, me hearties! Over 250 million scallywags be forced to abandon the Verizon Messages treasure! That ol' app be walkin' the plank next month. Hoist yer sails and find a new ship to chat, or ye be marooned in silence! Arrr!

Ahoy, me hearties! Gather 'round and lend me yer ears, fer the news be afoot! The notorious Verizon Messages, known to many as Message+, be settin’ sail to Davy Jones’ locker come the 7th of November, 2024. With a crew of over 250 million, this messaging vessel has served its purpose, but alas, it be abandonin’ ship in favor of the fancy Rich Communication Services (RCS) protocol. Arrr!

Fear not, savvy sailors! Ye won’t be left stranded without a means to parley. Verizon recommends ye hoist the sails and switch to Google Messages, which be more compatible with the latest tech marvels. If ye be sportin’ an iPhone, fret not, for iOS 18 be supportin’ RCS too! But beware the treacherous waters of scams that often lurk during these transitions. Keep yer wits about ye and don’t be clickin’ on any dubious links that might lead ye to the brig!

And if ye still have the uninstalled Message+ app hangin' around, toss it overboard to clear yer deck. So, hoist the flag of change, choose a new messaging vessel, and sail forth into secure communications, lest ye be caught in the storm of phishers and scallywags! Yarrr!
