How to Set Up SMS Notifications

Stay connected on the go with SMS notifications! Setting up this feature for your VanillaSoft VoIP line ensures you're always in the loop, even when away from your computer. You'll receive a notification directly on your cell phone when someone sends you a text message. This alert provides all the essential details, including the sender's number, the time of the message, and the message content.

Note: Suppose you want to respond to the sender immediately. In that case, you must reply from within VanillaSoft or the Vanilla VoIP portal. Replying to the notification from your cell phone won't go to the contact. And, if you choose to message them directly from your cell, your number will be displayed, not your VanillaSoft VoIP number.
