Question:
Can I get a SMS notification of new voicemails from V4S even though I am ouside of the US?
Solution:
Yes. Even if you are outside of the US, you can configure V4S to send you an SMS (text) notification for your new voicemails if you know the SMS address of your mobile phone service provider, as required in the V4S Configuration menu.
  • Access your V4S configuration menu using one of these two methods:

    1. log on to V4S at skype.orb.com, then click configuration in the navigation bar, or


    2. log on to Orb at my.orb.com and click the Add-Ons tab then, in the V4S section of the Add-Ons, click the config link on the right side.

  • Enter your cell phone number and your service provider SMS address in the format PhoneNumber@ProviderSMSAddress, as in these selected examples:

    Service Provider SMS address
    Rogers Canada pcs.rogers.com
    SFR France sfr.fr
    T-Mobile UK t-mobile.uk.net
    Swisscom bluewin.ch

    So, if your cell phone number is (987) 654-3210 and your service provider is Rogers Canada, you would enter in the SMS field of your V4S configuration menu:

    9876543210@pcs.rogers.com

Note: for a list of SMTP email addresses, check http://www.notepage.net/smtp.htm or other similar web sites as we do not maintain a list of international SMTP gateway addresses.

Important: Service providers usually have an additional charge to send or receive SMS messages. Please check with your provider for details and amount of the charges.
