GV Connect users, Are any of you able to get GV Connect to sound a notification when a text comes in? I can find text messages in the app when I check but can't seem to get it turned on in the notification Center. It would be nice to know if it works for someone else.
Also, I don't have a texting plan but when non iPhone users send me a text to my GV number it shows up in the app. So is this basically like having free texting or am I missing something? I have texting turned off on my plan so normally I don't get anything except from iphone users and AT And T directly. Eric Caron On Mar 4, 2014, at 12:54 PM, Raul A.
