  • Go to Settings > Notifications > Messages, make sure that “Allow Notifications” is turned on.

  • Your device has a mute switch (ring or silent).  It is a lever-type button that you flip up or down to mute the device. On an iPhone, this switch is located on the left side of your device, on an iPad, it is located on the right side of your iPad:

    Make sure that the mute button isn’t turned on by pushing the “Ring/Silent” switch to the “Ring” position.

  • Hold the home and lock button together until the iPhone restarts itself and test Spok Mobile paging again.
  • Check whether the network is working in a good condition. If it isn’t, apps won’t update the news and send notifications. Just re-connect your Wi-Fi or Cellular network. Or reset network settings.
  • Go to Settings > General > Reset and then choose to Reset Network Settings.  
    • CAUTION: This will wipe out all WiFi history used by this device and is not recoverable.  Be sure to only select Network Settings as other options can and will remove data on your iPhone.
