upload sound file from my iphone to an email

• #ane

My Vonage voicemail sends .wav files of new voice mails equally eastward-mail attachments. I know you can view photos, PDFs, etc., every bit e-mail attachments, but is there any way to play dorsum a .wav file sent as an east-mail attachment on my iPhone? I affect the file attachment and it does nothing.

Aforementioned hither, the zipper is but greyed out (mp3 attachements for instance are 'bluish').....

I judge it's not possible simply yet...

Same here, the zipper is just greyed out (mp3 attachements for example are 'blueish').....

I guess it'south not possible only yet...

So MP3s will play? If then, it would certainly be possible to exit your computer on and write an Automator/AppleScript combo to transcode the .wav attachment every bit an mp3 and attach it to an email and transport it to yourself again. Time consuming for someone like me, but possible.

I wonder if information technology would be worth lobbying Vonage to support mp3 voice mails?

Of course Vonage'due south voicemail-to-text service would do information technology, but you take to pay an extra monthly accuse for that.

But hang on a scrap, let me try something...

Of course Vonage's voicemail-to-text service would do it, but you have to pay an extra monthly charge for that.

Only hang on a chip, let me endeavour something...

I was trying for a workaround. Webmail. But apparently Safari won't play .wav files either. I'll let yous know if I effigy something out.

I have the same issue - did anyone solve it?

I finally solved it. I run my own e-mail server and so I intercept the vonage voicemail files and convert the wav to a format the iphone can handle, then send the new electronic mail out to my iphone yahoo account (so I can get instant notification):

This is my .procmailrc file:

SHELL=/usr/bin/sh #Employ the Bourne shell (check your path!)
MAILDIR=$HOME #
LOGFILE=$MAILDIR/procmail.log
DEFAULT=$Dwelling house/Mailbox
LOG="--- Logging ${LOGFILE} for ${LOGNAME}, "

:0 H c:
* ^Subject:.*You have received a new voicemail bulletin
{
:0
| /usr/local/bin/vonage2iphone.sh
}

# Accept all the rest to your default mailbox
:0:
${DEFAULT}

------

Here is the /usr/local/bin/vonage2iphone.sh script:

#!/bin/bash

if ! TEMPDIR="`mktemp /tmp/sendwav.XXXXXX`"; and so
echo "$0 is unable to create the temporary file."
exit 1
fi

# not perfect, simply, we'll live
rm $TEMPDIR
mkdir $TEMPDIR

mkdir -p $TEMPDIR/source

#absorbs stdin
munpack -C $TEMPDIR/source

#convert to GSM
sox $TEMPDIR/source/*.[Ww][Aa][Vv] -r 8000 -c 1 -u $TEMPDIR/out.wav

cat $TEMPDIR/source/voice-bulletin.desc | mutt -a $TEMPDIR/out.wav -due south "Voicemail $SUBJECT" iphone.xxxx@yahoo.com

rm -fr $TEMPDIR

---------

I had to install / compile the munpack program that saves the attachment and email headers then run the wav attachment through sox to convert to iphone (8000 rate, 1 channel mono).

Don't know if that helps anyone, but I love being able to listen to my vonage voicemails and seeing who left them in an email zipper.

*Disclosure: I run the iPhoneConvert website*

You can as well take your account setup to forward the zipper back to yous (converted to .mp4). Registration required but costless.

Works for .avi files besides.

anyone know if 1.1.3 fixes the trouble?

My workaround is that I forward the email (with attachment) to messages@iphoneconvert.com. So they catechumen it and email a link back to me that I play in safari. I think I institute this solution on the apple discussions.

I created an iphone app - the app allows u to toggle the simulring (and update the #), as well as Listen to your voicemail details!

Have a look at http://www.vonagent.com

Enjoy

Maybe someone can help me hear.

I am on an iPhone 4, i have Vonage home service.

And when always someone leave me a phonation-mail information technology gets emailed to my phone in a .wav format, and it plays fine.

Just then i tried something and it only worked once.

I tried to send the voice-mail message to my cocky via SMS at

MyNumber@tmomail.cyberspace

well to my surprise, i did not accept to bank check emails, it came directly to my telephone in my text messaging, and i was able to play the audio file right from my text.

only for some reason it only worked once. now when it comes in i am unable to play the file.

I will requite you a screen shot of what the file looks like in SMS.

As yous can run across in the above photo the file has a ? mark.

simply the 1st tile it worked it had a Quicklime Logo on the file, and it would play just as if an MMS Video was sent. but only audio.

any idea how to become this working again.

let me know
