2 edits | Voice-mail SMS Notification I should think you could use the SMS gateway for your mobile carrier, substituting your actual ten-digit mobile number:
2125551212@text.att.net (AT&T)
2125551212@messaging.sprintpcs.com (Sprint, PlatinumTel, et al)
2125551212@tmomail.net (T-Mobile)
2125551212@vtext.com (Verizon, Page Plus)
Test by emailing from your computer, but note that Sprint currently seems to block email from Yahoo!Mail, although Gmail does work.
I would turn off voip.ms's "Attach message to email" function.

| I've already tried that and:
1) it doesn't work at all if I want to continue getting voice mail messages via email (which I do). If I leave voice mail attachments enabled in voip.ms, the Sprint SMS gateway discards the voice mail notifications altogether, so I don't get them.
2) but even if I configure the voip.ms control panel to remove the voice mail message attachments and only send a notification (without attachment), the SMS gateway receives 3 or 4 voip.ms texts for every voice mail message because voip.ms's notification is WAY over 160 characters.
So the "workaround" either fails completely or is wholly unsatisfactory.
EVERY other VOIP company I know of provides SMS voice mail notification: Vonage, Viatalk, CallCentric, Voipo, Google Voice all have it. I'm baffled that voip.ms is so clueless about something that is a standard feature with its competitors. |
