I'll double check tomorrow, but I'm assuming this will be the case. It's a pretty standard feature so I can't imagine leaving it out.

I think this is the biggest missing item right now, I look forward to getting into VM remotely and only having to remember my numbers !!!!

Ray should finish up the remaining items with it like option 5, etc tomorrow.

I only quickly looked, but it seems no stutter or MWI yet ...

Do I need to reboot both ATAs?

Did you leave a new message or were you looking for it for old ones? If not new, try leaving a new one. It won't be triggered for existing messages.

My post above yours describes this. I don't mind since it allowed me to test it but if you need access from outside the confines of your voipo line you might want to wait.

Thanks for the tip, but I never try or need to access it remotely, so that won't be a problem for me.

Well, I guess that's why I have never received a SMS alert for VM LOL

It said SMS so I just entered my cell #.

I'll update to my sms email

This was just added in and should be up now. The return call option should also be working.

The star (*) code does (now) break through the outgoing recording and asks you for your password. I had to go into Vpanel and re-set my password before it would give me access. Perhaps when changes are being made to the system, a global password erasure is happening?

Also, when I pressed choice 5 to return the call after listening to the message, it did not call me back on my cell but presented me with the "You have 0 new messages VM tree. That needs some tweaking.
Thanks for the * code access, that is helpful.

I left messages from my cell in the 352-399-xxxx NS 734-437-xxxx and got neither stutter or VMWI.

I'll reboot them and retry.
(Both are not behind NAT BTW.)

EDIT: No success here. Should I submit a ticket?

Nope, no need to submit a ticket. Ray will look at it tomorrow to see if something was missed with it.
