Configure a mobile account (SharePoint Foundation 2010)
This article discusses how to configure and manage a mobile account for Microsoft SharePoint Foundation 2010 to enable users to subscribe to alerts that are sent by using Short Message Service (SMS). The alerts are sent to users’ mobile phones when changes are made to a SharePoint list or item.
The mobile alert feature resembles a feature that already exists in SharePoint Foundation 2010 that enables outgoing e-mail alerts. However, instead of receiving alerts via e-mail when changes are made in a SharePoint list or item, users receive the alerts on their mobile phones. For more information about e-mail alerts, see Configure outgoing e-mail (SharePoint Foundation 2010).
A SharePoint site is usually located on an intranet. As a result, access to the SharePoint site can be difficult when users are away from the office — for example, when they are traveling or attending a business dinner. The mobile alert feature enables users to react quickly when they receive an SMS alert that an item in a SharePoint list has changed.
Configure a mobile account
You can configure a mobile account for a server farm or for a specific Web application, either by using Central Administration or Windows PowerShell.
