Missed call notification e-mail messages that are sent to your Inbox are enabled by default. Text message (SMS) notifications that are sent to your mobile device require a one-time setup. At any time, you can turn on or off the missed call notification messages.

Note:  This feature requires a Microsoft Exchange Server 2010 or Exchange Server 2007 account. Unified Messaging must be enabled by your Exchange administrator. Text message (SMS) support requires Exchange Server 2010.
