Creating an alert

When you create an alert, it takes effect immediately and stays in effect until you disable or delete it. You can set an alert to occur immediately. Alert types may vary according to your settings and may include:

• Birthday
• Anniversary
• Meeting
• Call
• Wakeup
• Appointment
• Vacation
• Travel
• General

Delivery methods may include:

• Secure Message Only
• Email
• Phone
• SMS/Text Message

If you miss an alert, you may need to change settings or double-check the Messages inbox. If you don't see an email alert, check your junk email folder. If your alert was delivered there, configure your mail settings to allow messages from our email address.

Tip:  If you miss the alert call, our alert system will leave a message on voice mail. If you did not receive a phone call, check your message mailbox under the Messages menu to confirm receipt. If there is no alert in the secure mailbox, confirm that the alert is enabled.
