Hi there,
I had registered for Bank of America SMS alerts to my mobile number. I changed from mobile number to voipo phone number and did a test message from BoA website. I didn't any text message.
Am I doing something wrong?

You should be able to send/receive messages to/from major US cell carriers, but may have problems with specialized SMS stuff like that.
Many of the security/alert type SMS services won't accept VoIP numbers and only interconnect with the major cell phone carriers unfortunately.
Thanks Mr. Tim for the quick reply. Yes, it is unfortunate.
I know that boa does not support google voice sms. :( maybe one day.
Yeah, it's pretty much the same situation....it's just kind of too new of a thing for SMS to be on numbers outside of the big wireless carriers.Quote:

I have not found ANY SMS alert services that work with Google Voice. You get no error, just no SMS is delivered.
There is some hope for GV/VOIPo SMS alerts. They do work with Nixle. http://www.nixle.com/ It's not Amazon or BofA but I do get Amber Alerts to both numbers.
I enabled SMS for my account and sent a text message from my AT&T iPhone to the number. Nothing was received.
I see an incoming message in your account from an AT&T number. Is that the one you sent?Quote:
