Looking for Outlook or Yahoo instructions?

Step 1: Open Gmail Settings

• Log in to Gmail: Open your preferred web browser, go to gmail.com, and sign in with your credentials.
• Access Gmail Settings: In the top-right corner of the Gmail interface, you’ll see a gear icon (⚙️). Click on it, and then select "See all settings" from the dropdown menu.

Step 2: Navigate to the Signature Section

• In the settings menu, go to the "Signature" section. You'll find this under the General tab.
• If you don’t have a signature already, you will need to create one. Click Create new to start a new signature.

Step 3: Edit or Add Your Signature

• If you already have a signature, simply click on the text box where your signature is located to edit it.
• If you’re creating a new one, enter the text you want to include in your signature. You can type your name, job title, company, and other details like your physical address or website if necessary.

Step 4: Add Your Phone Number

• Type your phone number directly into the signature text box. You can format it like this:

Isabelle Ringing
Marketing Manager
800.com
Phone: (800) 800-4321
Email: support@800.com

2. If you want your phone number to be a clickable link (so that people can click it to dial directly from their smartphones), you can use the following HTML format:

<a href="tel:+11234567890">Phone: (123) 456-7890</a>

This makes your phone number interactive, which is especially useful for mobile users.

Step 5: Format Your Signature

To make your signature more professional or visually appealing, use Gmail's formatting options. Here are some options:

• Bold or Italics: Highlight your name or other important details.
• Font style and size: Choose from Gmail’s default fonts and adjust the size.
• Colors: Change the color of text to match your brand or personal style.
• Links: Add hyperlinks to your website or social media profiles.

To apply any formatting, simply highlight the text and use the toolbar that appears above the signature box.

Step 6: Set Your Signature Default

1. Scroll down to the bottom of the settings page.
2. You will see an option for "Signature defaults."
3. Set your signature as the default for New emails and Replies/Forwards, if you'd like the signature to appear automatically in all your messages.

Step 7: Save Changes

1. After you’ve finished editing and formatting your signature, scroll to the bottom of the page and click "Save Changes."

Step 8: Test Your Signature

Finally, it's always a good idea to send yourself an email to make sure your phone number appears as expected. If you included a clickable link, test that it works on mobile and desktop devices.
