Priority Alerts is a service which can make your phone ring differently based on specific call information, such as the number and time of day. For example, you can have calls from your family ring differently than those from your boss. The criteria for each Priority Alert entry can be a list of up to 12 phone numbers, a specified time schedule, and a specified holiday schedule.
