Want to know when important e-mail arrives in your Hotmail inbox?
Set up Hotmail SMS alerts to find out when you receive e-mail from family and friends, recruitment agents, banks, MySpace, Facebook and more.
How do Hotmail SMS alerts work?
Hotmail SMS alerts notify you when you receive important e-mails in your inbox by sending an SMS direct to your mobile phone#. Receive alerts for all e-mails arriving in your inbox or customise them so you are notified only when you receive e-mail from a particular address or contact name or with specific words in the Subject, To or Cc lines. Once you receive an SMS alert, log in to Hotmail from your mobile or computer to read and reply as you normally would.
Sign in with your Windows Live ID to set up your Hotmail SMS alerts on your mobile phones.
Use our step-by-step instructions to help you set up Hotmail SMS alerts.
# You will pay your mobile carrier for each SMS you send and receive as part of the SMS Hotmail service. Charges depend on your carrier and your mobile plan's SMS pricing.
