[Asterisk-Users] * -> SMS w/out PSTN (dialplan confusion)

[JD Austin]

 From what I understand the voice mail is not actually sent to the user 
via email.. a link to it is.
They have to log in and listen to the message.  If you delete the voice 
mail it probably won't work.
I'm a newbie but I think that is the problem.
