Subscribing to Calendars
You can subscribe to calendars that use the iCalendar (.ics) format. Many calendar-based
services support calendar subscriptions, including Yahoo!, Google, and the Mac OS X
iCal application.
Subscribed calendars are read-only. You can read events from subscribed calendars on
iPhone, but you can’t edit them or create new events.
Subscribe to a calendar:
1 In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.
2 Choose Other, then choose Add Subscribed Calendar.
3 Enter the server information, then tap Next to verify the subscription.
4 Tap Save.
You can also subscribe to an iCal (or other .ics) calendar published on the web by
tapping a link to the calendar you receive in an email or text message on iPhone.
Importing Calendar Files from Mail
You can add events to a calendar by importing a calendar le from an email message.
You can import any standard .ics calendar le.
Import events from a calendar le: In Mail, open the message and tap the calendar
le. When the list of events appears, tap Add All, choose the calendar you want to add
the events to, and tap Done.
Alerts
Set calendar alerts: In Settings, choose Sounds, then turn Calendar Alerts on. If
Calendar Alerts is o when an event is about to occur, iPhone displays a message but
makes no sound.
Important: If the Ring/Silent switch is o, calendar alerts won’t sound.
Sound alerts for invitations: In Settings, choose “Mail, Contacts, Calendar.” Under
Calendars, tap New Invitation Alert to turn it on.
