The priority alert option allows you to assign a special ring to some callers -- for example, all external callers or certain colleagues or family members. Your phone only has one special ring. It's a subtle variation of whatever ringtone you've selected, but the cadence is two quick rings in the place of a longer, single ring.

  • If you haven't done so, set up your portal
  • Go to phone.iastate.edu and sign in
  • In the left navigation, click "incoming calls"
  • Under the "advanced" column, click "priority alert"
  • Click the "add" button to set up alerts
  • Click "OK"
