Reading Text Messages
36 ··· Vocera Smartphone User Guide
When your smartphone receives an urgent message, it plays an alert tone and
then immediately plays the message. The alert tone for an urgent message is
the same as for a high-priority message.
Note: If you are using the phone to speak with someone when a normal
or high priority message arrives, you cannot play the message until the call
ends. However, the phone plays urgent messages immediately, breaking into a
conversation and putting the original caller on hold if necessary.
Here is the prompt that appears when you receive a new urgent text message:
