Step 3: Browse to the "Voicemail Services". From the drop down list you will select "Locations".


Step 4: In the "Voicemail Locations" window you will Select "+". 

Step 5: Start by editing the "Name" of the location. The "Location Type" will need to be "Email".

Step 6: You will now enter the "Address". This is dependent upon the cell phone provider because the format for text to email is different with each. The major carriers are included below:

Step 10: Highlight the "Default" profile name and hit "Set Profile"


Step 11: Then scroll down until you are in the "Remote Notification" section and select the "Voicemail Enabled" box.   You will then need to select the new "Voicemail Location" you just created from the drop down menu for "Location 1"


Step 12: Click "Save".


Step 13: You can now test with the user and confirm that they are receiving text message notifications when a Voicemail is left on their Cisco phone.
