Alpha Feature: SMS Control

**rx100** · 01-20-2009 06:30 PM

I tried to fwd my calls to my work no using the sms. First time when I sent the text message I typed in my work no incorrectly(I did not realize until I made a test call to my home). I tried to fix it by resending another text message with the correct no. It looks like the second sms is not updating the call forward no.

Could you reply with the text message that you sent, or rather PM me it.

Sorry, there was a typo in my post.

https://secure.voipo.com/features/sms is correct URL.

I left out the /features/ part in the link.

While I don't suffer from this issue, you may want to also include the words (Active/Inactive) in case you have someone who can't distinguish Red/Green using VPanel to set up this feature.

I like the red and green, but I think it breaks accessibility rules.

Dan, thanks for bringing this up. I in fact, would not be able to tell the difference between green and red due to a visual impairment, so you are correct I think in saying that not including text labels does break accessibility guidelines and I would hope this would be kept in mind when designing any new features..

I have a red/green deficiency, and I can confirm that it is difficult to distinguish the states... perhaps a flag or check mark would help?

Awesome, as usual.

I know some of you have been using this because I see the logs.

Does anyone that uses it have any feedback on it?

I'd prefer to have a mobile version of the Control panel maybe at m.voipo.com, which would allow contol of the featre set.

I tried setting up forwarding last night with "VOIPO1 FWD ME", but I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't work, and I ended up disabling it. I checked vpanel this morning and finally figured it out -- my cell phone number is ABCDEFGHIJ, but vpanel showed the forwarding number as 1ABCDEEFGH. I'll send the actual number directly if it will help.

When I used "VOIPO1 FWD <explicit number>", it worked fine.
