Mobile Phones 

Each user can add two mobile phone numbers for receiving IC Alerts. Mobile phones can be set up to receive just text messages, or a text message and a voice call. The Mobile (1) field is not visible because it is locked as your default number the college will use to contact you by text and voice in the event of an emergency. Your phone number used for the Self-Service Password Reset (SSPR) system is the one used for this purpose. Each user can also add two other mobile phone numbers for receiving IC Alerts, in the Mobile (2) and Mobile (3) fields. Mobile phones in these fields can be set up to receive just text messages, or a text message and a voice call.

Adding a mobile number:  

Note: If two numbers are already entered then adding another mobile number will not be available and will require an existing number to first be deleted (see “deleting mobile number” for more instructions).

FAQ’s can be found by selecting the “Hi, FIRST NAME” drop down in top right of page and selecting FAQ. Here you will find contact information for system support, and frequently asked questions.  

Q: Why is there a Mobile (2) and (3) but no (1)?

Q: How do I know if a mobile number listed will receive voice messages?  

A: If the mobile number has a green megaphone symbol next to it (  ) it is set to receive voice messages.   

Q: Why can’t I edit my username under User Profile? 

A: Username is set to all users' Ithaca.edu email address and is not an editable field.  

Q: How did my information get into this site?  

A: The contact information that is populated in the site now is the contact information provided in the previous self-service site. IT has moved this information to the new site so users won't need to re-populate their information.  

Q: Why is my office phone missing in voice contacts?  

A: Office phones are populated based on information in the college directory that is updated nightly. If your direct office phone number is not listed in the directory, that phone will not receive an ENS message. In this case, we recommend you add your office phone to voice contacts receive IC Alert calls.
