Additional Mobile Phone Numbers and Email Addresses

You can now add six email addresses or an additional phone number under the services tab or Logout with the 'Logout' link.  You may log back in from the Text and Email Alerts page.

Add Phone

Before adding a mobile phone, be sure that the phone is within service area and turned on.  When the services tab is enabled, under SMS (Text Messaging), add your mobile phone number.  Then select a carrier and click the 'Add SMS' button.  You will only be able to add one additional mobile phone.

You will then be required to verify the number as was done in the 'Validate Your Mobile Phone' section.

Add Email Address

You may also add up to two emails.  Enter an email address under the 'Add an Email' and click 'Add'.  You must then check that email address for new messages and follow the instructions for validating.  You will not receive the emergency messages if you do not validate. 

Please note that it is not necessary to sign up with your LSUHSC email address, since you will already receive mass email notifications through your LSUHSC account.   Feel free to sign up with as many as two other email addresses as you wish.

Logout

When you are finished, click the 'Logout' link at the top right portion of the page.

Carrier:  Be sure the carrier that you have chosen is the correct carrier for your mobile phone.

Power:  Be sure your phone is charged and turned on.

Signal:  Be sure you are in an area where you are receiving a signal for SMS.  Check your phone's documentation or check with your carrier.

Email Validation

(Show me how to validate my email)

Troubleshooting Email Validation

If you are not receiving the validation email, be sure to add validate@email.omnilert.net to your address.  Some email accounts are setup with 'whitelists' where only addresses added to your address book can send to you.

If you have changed your mind and no longer want to receive messages to the Email Address that you signed up, please delete the Email Address.  This will remove you from our list of unvalidated users.

Validating

You should receive the validation email.  All that is required is for you to reply.  If you did not receive the message, follow the instructions above and click the link "Resend Validation Email'.

Logout

When you are finished, click the 'Logout' link at the top right portion of the page.
