Cannot forward Ooma voicemails to blackberry
Posted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 12:39 pm
Finalizing remaining tasks installing my Ooma Telo and have identified some issues which I thought I would post on this Ooma Forum hoping someone out there has already identified and resolvethe same issues sending Ooma voicemails to a corporate Blackberry 9630. While I am patiently waiting for my virtual office Verizon phone number to be ported I've realized voicemails from Ooma do not have the mp3/wav voice file attached when they are forwarded over to my corporate Blackberry9630. I suspect our corporate email system might not allow Ooma attachments due to concerns they might harbour virus's. Hacked on this for days, read hundreds upon hundreds of Ooma Forum posts and decided to give GoogleVoice a shot. Set up a GoogleVoice account linking the temporary Ooma provided phone number to GoogleVoice until my port is completed. Test calls to my new Google Voice mail account now successfully attaches both the transcripted and actual voice file via mp3 attachment. Can anyone out there who has a corporate Blackberry verify if they can successfully received attached mp3/wav voice files to any of the blackberry smartphones?
Though I finally have everything complete and running on both Ooma and blackberry sides I do have to use GoogleVoice as an intermediary...want to keep this a simple as possible. BTW, I also purchased Ooma Premier just so I could port the old phone number over, I may just NOT renew Premier after my first year is out as it appears GoogleVoice provides 90% of the Premier features at no cost.
