Listen to new text messages

You can only listen to your incoming text messages and reply to them if the Virtual Assistant calls you to read them to you. To enable this option, you must set your SMS settings accordingly. See SMS Settings on Web Portal for details. Note that this feature is to provide safe text message reception when you are driving. It is also useful for blind people.

Each time you receive a new text message on your Smart Number, the Virtual Assistant will call you on the number that you specified and offer to read you the text message content using Text-To-Speech technology. Once you answer, you can either accept or refuse depending on the situation you are in:

• accept to hear the text message and eventually reply to it.
• refuse to hear the text message (you may be in you car with other people). 

Note that you can also access and manage your text messages on your Web Portal and Mobile App. See Text Messages for details.
