[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1809136, member: 110816"] If you addressed their iPhone phone number, that was NOT sent as an SMS, but rather Apple's proprietary format that allows Apple devices to all talk without using the cellular data plan. That being said, if the doctor responded on their iPhone, in Messages, to your iCloud (Apple iD), then the response goes back as the same format and is available in the Messages app wherever you can access it. Android phone does NOT enter the picture here at all. There is NO way for Android phones to be a part of this Apple driven system since Messages is using Apple servers to facilitate the conversation as opposed to the normal (and open) SMS/MMS technologies used by all phone makers. The message sent from the iPhone will NOT show up in your email since it is NOT an email. Open System Preferences->Notifications and scroll down to Messages and ensure that have enabled notification as either Banners or Alerts when you are using the machine. Also ensure that "Show in notification center" is checked at the minimum. If none of those were set, that's why you didn't get the notification. [/QUOTE]
