Is SMS voicemail notification working for anybody? I get email notifications (with attached wav file) just fine, but the SMS notification is not arriving. My cellphone number is entered in the "Send SMS Notification To:" field as a ten digit number.
No big deal...and I don't consider it important enough to file a support ticket. Still, I thought it was worth bouncing it off the forum. Thanks!
You have to enter the SMS gateway email address. For T-mobile:
555443333@tmomail.net
You can google "SMS gateway" to find what your provider's is.
Correct.

Thanks guys, that did the trick!
I have my google voice listed as a 10 digit number and it doesn't seem to work. Any thoughts?
The SMS notification is e-mail based so it needs to be an email address.
That's too bad. Google Voice does not offer an email to SMS gateway.
Have you tried this: number@txt.voice.google.com ?
Doesn't work for me - "delivery failed permanently".Quote:

Okay, I just tried it and got the same response as Steve. Google Voice must have closed that route.
From what I can read in the GV discussion groups, this works only in the limited circumstance of responding to a SMS where GV sent you an email notification. And it's more complex than that - there's more than just a phone number in the address. It is an often-requested GV feature and one that, for me, makes GV's SMS support less than useful.
