since you are talking about push notifications i am wondering if you are on IOS or Android. It seems local push may only be available on IOS
Hello @nomads,
I use Groundwire for Android with push notifications and it works well.
Kind regards.
I did send in an update to support here after getting detailed help with Groundwire including SIP logging. It seems to clearly show there is a 30+ second delay in VoIP.ms sending an SMS to Groundwire. That explains the delays Iām seeing. It can affect the ability to have a text conversation with someone. Iām waiting to hear back now.

The final reply from support is in. They acknowledged that their average SMS delivery time delay for received SMS messages is around 30-35 seconds.
This contrasts with every other VoIP service I use, such as TextNow and Talkatone where both sent and received SMS happen instantly.
While not a deal breaker for me I would not recommend VoIP.ms for your main SMS service, though the sending and receiving of voice messages is quick and works well.
It depends on your use case.

iām also a skype refugeeā¦ ported my skype number to voip.ms without any issues. took about 6 days.
i tried for a few days to use zoiper, but it seemed not to work for SMS. SMS forwarding setting in my voip.ms account seemed to work, but i wasnāt able to reply and the chats werenāt showing up anywhere in my zoiper account.
so i bailed on zoiper and tried a bunch of other appsā¦ and settled on groundwire. issue not is to successfully send and receive text messages. i have switched off my email forwarding feature on voip.ms and made sure āsimpleā is enabled in my groundwire account.
still, no luckā¦ are there other things i should check? i looked through the groundwire and acrobits wikis to make sure iāve set everything up and iām not seeing anything i might have missed.
would appreciate any hints. thanks.
edit: iām running groundworks on iOS on my iphone.
