While our team is looking into a resolution for the VM Drop, the current workaround would be to do manual VM Drop by dialing 99 then the number of the VM message you wish to send. (1-9). We are still engaged with our engineers to identify the cause of VM and SMS failures. We appreciate your continued patience.

We are continuing to work on resolving the SMS and VM Drop failing issues. We have engaged our internal and external engineers in order to restore both services. As mentioned in an early post, if you are using the VM Drop services, you are still able to do so manually by dialing 99 then the number of the VM message you wish to send from your list between the numbers 1 through 9. ex: 991= VM Drop message 1 We apologize for any inconvenience this interruption may have caused and thank you for your patience and understanding.
