Turn mobile phone notifications on or off

This article applies to customers using Skype for Business Online operated by 21Vianet. All other customers should see Turn on or off mobile phone notifications.

Note:  Mobile phone notifications may not be available for all phones in all regions.

If your users have mobile phones and tablets with a Skype for Business client installed, they can receive alerts about incoming and missed instant messages. When push notifications are on, individual users can turn them off by choosing the appropriate Skype for Business option on their mobile device. When you turn off push notifications, users can't turn them back on.

On Android and Symbian (Nokia) phones, Skype for Business notifications pop up in real time. For Windows Phone, iPhone, and iPad devices, however, push notification is used to show the alerts whenever you're not actively using Skype for Business on your phone or tablet.
