Same for me as well. Do I need to be activated to use the special hidden features?

Ok I got there finally by signing in, going to the normal features tab and then adding /sms at the end of the URL

Sorry, there was a typo in my post.

https://secure.voipo.com/features/sms is correct URL.

I left out the /features/ part in the link.

While I don't suffer from this issue, you may want to also include the words (Active/Inactive) in case you have someone who can't distinguish Red/Green using VPanel to set up this feature.

I like the red and green, but I think it breaks accessibility rules.

Dan, thanks for bringing this up. I in fact, would not be able to tell the difference between green and red due to a visual impairment, so you are correct I think in saying that not including text labels does break accessibility guidelines and I would hope this would be kept in mind when designing any new features..

Awesome, as usual.

I know some of you have been using this because I see the logs.

Does anyone that uses it have any feedback on it?

I have a red/green deficiency, and I can confirm that it is difficult to distinguish the states... perhaps a flag or check mark would help?

I'd prefer to have a mobile version of the Control panel maybe at m.voipo.com, which would allow contol of the featre set.

I tried setting up forwarding last night with "VOIPO1 FWD ME", but I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work, and I ended up disabling it. I checked vpanel this morning and finally figured it out -- my cell phone number is ABCDEFGHIJ, but vpanel showed the forwarding number as 1ABCDEEFGH. I'll send the actual number directly if it will help.

When I used "VOIPO1 FWD <explicit number>", it worked fine.
