Lightly documented is a nice way of putting a poor implementation of texting support.
Being an computer engineer, I know that there is a "better" way of implementing texting alerts over caller id. This is just a first pass attempt of implementing the feature and can definitely be improved upon by the obi software team.
First off to clarify a few things. I'm not looking to see the full length of the message, but I would want to know I got two messages rather than just one.
For example, I just sent myself two texts from TWO different accounts and only got one single ring (this is stupid?!? ). I then responded to the text and got several responses a few minutes later and didn't ever get any new rings.
For me the goal of this feature is to let me know if I get a text that is worth going to the computer to look at. Therefore you have to get a "ring" anytime and every time you get a new text, regardless of the conversation aspect. If the obi device doesn't do this, it's only servicing 10% of the desired need.
Just trying to give feedback to obi-engineers that they could do something even better.
