Hi Adrian Hyde

Searched - nothing to say that the functionality has been deprecated.

Follow the link Victor provided (https://outlook.office.com/owa/?path=/options/textmessaging) and it will take you to the Text Messaging section under General mailbox options

Select Set Up Text Messaging and it will give you the options

AFAIK on 365 this is for Web App Only, so wouldn't likely appear in the ribbon.

Hope that answers your question.

Best, Chris

Wow, no announcements, no alternatives, no support. Pathetic.

I have been using the flow app to replace it. Put the flow app on the phone and then configure notifications. It has been working for me.

  CGiles-72 Thanks. I have done something similar for email notifications, but are you able to use that for a calendar appointments? That is the one thing I have been unable to replace.
