Hi there,
Wouldn’t it be convenient to get a text message whenever a voice mail was left for you at work?
One of our sales guys was out of the office but on the phone a lot, and he couldn’t get his email notifications of voice messages at the office. Normally he would just check his email on a smartphone, but he doesn’t have a data package! Here’s a way around that situation.
Your BC200 emails you whenever you get a voicemail – mine goes to my Gmail account. I set up a filter that says “If the subject contains ‘voicemail,’ forward it to ‘myphonenumber@mycellcarrier.com.’ It’s pretty simple – here’s the whole process:
- Someone leaves a voicemail on the BC200.
- The BC200 emails my Gmail account, saying I have a voicemail.
- Gmail forwards that email to my cellphone carrier.
- My cellphone carrier sends an SMS message to my phone.
Data packages cost money, but most cell companies offer free incoming SMS messages.
I hope this little tip helps you make the most of your BC200. Until next time,
- Dave.
