My users have Verizon desktop phones and we have recently installed the Verizon One Talk app to streamline phone calls, voicemail and TXT messages. It has a TXT based "chat" app built-in and displays incoming calls, lets you place outgoing calls, check voicemail, etc. The placing and receiving of voice calls is working fine, however Avast & AVG seem to be blocking the TXTing capabilities. If AVG is is running with all shields up, OneTalk throws up a red warning banner informing me that chat is unavailable.
If I temporarily disable all of the AVG shields, the "chat unavailable" warning goes away and texting works fine.
If I restore the shields but disable only the "Email Shield / Scan inbound emails (POP3, IMAP4)" setting (which is weird), the "chat unavailable" warning goes away and texting works fine.
Reading the fine manual tells me the ports and protocols that OneTalk needs to function. I have made sure the app is unblocked by AVG but but I am new to setting specific Rules. Here's the page from the manual. Any help would be appreciated:
