Sorry for the noob questions, but I am one here. I've read the sonic.wiki, and searched the forums but didn't find any answers. Maybe I'm just unclear on the concept
I'm trying to decide if and how I will use voicemail on my new fusion service. I see VM delivery settings for "forward" and "notification." The notification part seems clear, but it looks like I can't send one to an email address - just sms or tweets. Or can I? I'd want to send a notification to my email at yahoo.com. Is that possible?
And the forwarding confounds me. An audio voicemail is left at my phone number, and really, can I have that forwarded to an email account? What exactly is being forwarded? An audiofile of the voicemail? In the forums I read there is no voice to text transcription yet, so I don't think it's that. Or am I wrong? What am I missing?
And in the "local email delivery" and phone access setting, I assume "local" refers to my sonic.net email address. It says default folder is "voicemail" but I don't see one when I login to my sonic.net email. So now I'm confused.
My thought is to use fusion VM as a fallback voicemail, and then be notified by email the rare times a VM shows up on the phone number. And also be able to retrieve said VM by phone.
Can anyone clarify this for me?
Thanks.
