Changes to MCGILL ALERT! mobile device notifications

webfull — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 14:59:58 +0000

��VR��Ƶ’s Emergency Notification System allows you to opt in your mobile device to receive alerts during time-sensitive situations and disruptions in the use of various buildings on campus.

In the past, some mobile phone carriers only allowed voice messages, not SMS text messaging. Today, all carriers support SMS, so we will switch all Emergency Notification System messaging to SMS for mobile phones starting September 18.

If your personal mobile device is configured to use text-to-speech, SMS notifications from ��VR��Ƶ will be read aloud.
