Using the Voicemail SMS Text Notify Feature

Modified on Tue, Feb 16, 2016 at 5:03 PM

Users can choose to be notified to their mobile phones when they have received a voicemail message in their Cloud9Phone mailbox. When a message is received, the system will send a text (“SMS”) message to the cell phone. Note that the actual audio of the voicemail message is not sent to the mobile phone, only a text message to indicate a voicemail has been left.

 

In the mailbox detail page, in the "SMS email to notify" field, enter an SMS email address for the user. Multiple addresses separate by commas can also be entered.

 

The format of the email address should conform to the format of the user's carrier. The major US cellular carriers use the 10_digit_number@cell.carrier_domain.com format for SMS to text capable cell phones.

 

Carrier Send Email to phonenumber@....

Alltel @message.alltel.com

AT&T @txt.att.net

Nextel @messaging.nextel.com

Sprint @messaging.sprintpcs.com

T-mobile @tmomail.net

VoiceStream @voicestream.net

Verizon @vtext.com

 

Verizon users can register an alias at vtext.com to give out instead of their phone number.

Both alias@vtext.com and phonenumber@vtext.com will be valid addresses for the phone.
