Re: callendar

Hi, If you’re doing this on your iPhone, then double-tap on the event to open it, then swipe through the information. You should hear an item that says “Alert” followed by whatever the alert parameters are set to. “None”, of course means that there are no alerts sent. “10 minutes before”
