For all Remind users.
You can add, remove, or edit your cell phone number and email address as well as adjust your app and desktop notifications via your Remind dashboard.
This article has the following sections:
Note 1: When you download the app, push notifications are turned on and your text and email Remind messages are automatically disabled - so you do not receive duplicates.
Note 2: If you are adding your landline number to your account, keep in mind that it will only be reachable for:
- Voice calls: With voice calls, you can reach both mobile and landline numbers. Personal phone numbers stay private and calls are automatically logged.
- Urgent messages: When administrators send urgent messages, they will reach everyone in your community across all available devices, including landlines.
Note 3: Always keep your Remind account up-to-date with your most recent contact information, and notify your organization if your phone number and/or email changes. This will ensure you receive your messages, and will also prevent someone else from gaining access to your account.
