Turn on call alerts in your browser
Let your browser alert you about calls and voicemail while AIMERICA is in a background tab.
On Home, the card Don’t miss calls when this tab is in the background has Turn on alerts: click it, then Allow when your browser asks. Later, the same switch is in Settings › Me › Alerts, under Ring when this tab is in the background.

Step by step
- 1
In the menu on the left, open Home.

A browser tab in the background can miss a ringing call. This card fixes that, and it asks only once.
- 3
Your browser then tells you about an incoming call, or a new voicemail, even in another tab.
- 4
Click Turn on alerts, then Allow, when your browser asks. In this demo, we stop here.

If your browser blocked alerts, the card says so. Allow them in the site settings, with the icon left of the address, then reload the page.

Close hides the card.
- 7
Later, you find the same switch in Settings.
- 8
Under Me, click Alerts.

Ring when this tab is in the background does the same, once for each browser you use.
- 10
The browser has to be running for this alert. The phone app rings on its own, even when it is closed.
