I have the text message feature working. Tested with a few SMS Text messages.
However, one important point I initially over looked in the blog
1 announcement -- you must enable the feature first in web portal. Simply upgrading your firmware alone will not enable the texting feature.
To enable this feature,
1) Click on '
Device Configuration', in the OBiTALK web portal
2) Scroll down to the '
Configure Voice Service Providers (SP#)' section on the web page.
3) Select the
'Google Voice
' account you want to configure by clicking on the configure icon.
3) Once in the
"SP#: Google Voice™ Account" area of your OBi202 Device Configuration, in the OBiTALK web portal you will see a new option,
"Google Text Message Notification" (Optional), click the check box option to enable this feature on the OBi202.
Other notes: On my phone
2, the call rings with "Incoming Call" displayed (
no text message yet).
I then have to go back into CID history to see the short message excerpt.
The new "Text Messages to Your Regular Home Phone" option is a nice feature to receive two-factor
3 account authorization text messages from various internet sites for login authentication.
