google voice and groove ip

again, why not just email them to your gmail address which you will still receive on your phone.

i get a few hundred system emails a day, 99% of them i don't need to act on

i wanted to forward critical events to a service that doesn't get a lot of messages so that they would catch my eye right away. i've missed alarms because they were lost in a lot of the crap i receive

So why not use a different notification sound for a different emails? Email accounts are free, setup a 2nd one and have the 1st one auto forward to 2nd one based on x,y,z condition.

gmail lets you set different notification options for different labels.

so just apply a "critical" label to those urgent messages, and give it a different notification sound.

just trying to point out that a solution for your problem exists

i don't want 1000 messages a day going to gmail, i just wanted to direct a few SMS texts to my phone

i can easily do this with at&t and verizon if i pay them, but not google voice

You just don't make sense. You bitch about google voice not having the ability to accept an email for sms... but then you say you dont want a 1000 emails going to gmail.. which is it? You are getting 1000 sms then? You clearly just wanted to pick out something that isn't a problem for you...

i said it before, i wanted it for a few alert messages only for critical alerts and i don't want it going to gmail because i already get a lot of crap in there. i wanted it to go to a service where i don't get a lot of messages

i tried one of the third party apps, but don't use it anymore

and the only thing i use GV for is to text people without iphones
