Different networks support different alert types. For instance, BlackBerry users can have two-way alerts pushed through their BES, phone users in the US can receive WAP alerts while many international users elect to receive SMS or MMS alerts. Here's what you do to modify your alert type: select 'Device Profiles' from the 'Actions' list in your Administration Console. The profiles you see are automatically populated as your users use Aeroprise from their mobile devices. Information about the devices, their capabilities, and the network they're using is detected and transmitted to your Mobile Gateway. When you receive an alert you get just the information you need tailored to the devices you're using. When you need to make a change, all of the information used to deliver the alerts is available in real-time from your Device Profiles report. Trivia Question: How many do you have?
