Nice, but I wonder how this is different from forwarding all your Google Voice SMS & Voicemails to your gmail and then using Boxcar iPhone app to receive pop up notifications of new emails?
Sounds interesting and potentially better then the set up I have now on my iPhone?
- jazzychad 17y agoThere are a few differences, but the main one is that this feature is specifically for GV SMS, so when you open the notification you can go straight to the conversation on the Google Voice site in Safari, whereas (as far as I can tell) Boxcar gives just the subject and body of the email when you forward all your email to it.
- paul9290 17y agoCool. Yeah Boxcar does not take you to your Google Voice page. Rather it's pop ups display sender & message for SMS(s) though not for GV Voicemail. To read the transcription or listen to the voicemail I have to open the iPhone mail app and read it within the new mail received. Maybe you can add the transcription within the popup? Would save me step in having to go into my mail client.
