? Changing SMS Alert Behavior

I want to ditch my pager and use SMS alerts sent to my iPhone from my answering service. However, the incoming SMS alerts are 1) too soft, 2) too brief, and 3) only repeat once. I am afraid this will not be sufficiently loud enough to wake me up from a good sleep.
Are there any non-jailbreak options to make the alerts more annoying to ensure I will respond to messages at night?

3) only repeat once
If you have *Settings > Messages > Repeat Alert* set to ON you will be alerted twice more if you ignore a message.

SMS alert - I dont want the name of the sender appearing on the screen

Prior to downloading the recent upgrade, my SMS alert would simply notify me that I had a new text message but would not identify the sender. Now, the sender's names appears on the screen. How can I change my setting so that the sender's name is not visible?

The SMS preview has been changed in the new firmware, see this thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1797569&start=0&tstart=0
So displaying the senders name can't be switched off. But you can forward your wish here:

How to opt out of Pre-Paid SMS alerts and confirmations
While you can opt out, we strongly recommend you don't, as alerts and confirmations are a great way to stay on top of your balance and expiry dates.
To opt out, text the word 'stop' to 125 8884. This is a free service. You'll receive a confirmation message, but due to scheduling it may take up to 24 hours for all alerts to stop. Note, mandatory SMS notifications will still be sent.
These may include:
Mandatory confirmation of self-service options, e.g. recharges, change of offer and Plus Pack purchases
Pre-Paid marketing offers with a separate opt out
Mandatory global roaming alerts
MessageBank notifications
Occasional Telstra service messages
If you opt out of Pre-Paid SMS alerts and confirmations, you can still check your balance and expiry dates using your device or online. Find out more about Managing your Pre-Paid service.
To opt in again, call our Pre-Paid customer service team on 125 8880.

It doesn't address what I needed help with
I am in Malaysia with Telstra Long Life so I can receive my banking secure code when necessary from St George. However, it never arrives in time, if at all. So basically the service is useless for me and I have wasted $80. What can be going wrong and how can i ensure I receive a bank secure code sms in time that I can use it before the banking website cuts it off?
I also cannot see on the My account page where I can get the online help. I think this should always be in the bottom corner of the page as I have spent ages looking for it - depending where you are on Telstra's site, sometimes it is there and sometimes not. VERY confusing.
Thank you Janet Mills

How to get email and sms alerts in 9i

Hi,
I want to know that is there any method in 9i by which we may get mail and sms alerts whenever anything goes wrong with the database?
Thanx

Why pay for something if you already have it, included in your license?
Only because you have to read documentation to use it?
Oracle will sooner or later include functionality in their monitoring products, they don't include in the RDBMS. In 10g you already rather use the controls than call the PL/SQL Apis directly.
Apart from that: the third party products you seem to promote, usually implement very limited functionality.

Email and SMS Alerts - Solution Manager - PI and EP

Hi All,
I am trying to do the below scenario.....But somehow i am lost in the process.
I have a three system PI landscape and a Solution Manager. I have included the DEV PI in solution manager for CCMS,the CCMS agents are online and it also reflects in RZ20.
Now the requirement is SOLMAN should send email and sms alerts in below situations which occur in PI system.
1.The ABAP or JAVA engine goes down.
2.One of the filesystem crosses certain predefined limit.
3.Any of the java server node stops working
4.If any critical job gets cancelled in sm37
I am looking at steps on how to define the alert categories, auto reaction methods, also the nodes where i have to assign these auto reaction methods.
I have gone through CCMS documentations, played all sim files and gone through most of the pdf files but i am not able to establish proper steps to do it.
I am Redhat Linux,Oracle 10g, SOLMAN 7 with PI7
Can i extend the same for the EP systems also which are pure Java Stack Systems ?
Also i would like to know if i can send customized alert messages.
Best Regards
Raghu

Hi Juan,
Thanks for your response.
I am looking at the MTE classes i.e for the above situations which MTE classes are required.
Also i have read in some document that we can send the alerts directly to the email IDs and cell numbers without having to mention them in user masters in SU01. Where to mention these ?
I have my SCOT settings done for email servers.
The process which i had built up in my mind is all mixed up and i am lost where to do which configuration
Best Regards
Raghu

You can send the e-mail to all concerned via standard workflow or via using some exits at the time of saving of notification also.

Is there a way to change the alert tone for the find my iphone app?

Is there a way to change the alert tone for the find my iphone app? The one they use from the factory is terrible! I tried it out and could hardly hear it from 5 feet away!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Unfortunately, so far as I am aware you cannot change this tone. I must admit I don't fully understand your problem, I've tried it myself and can hear it from some distance away.

I changed the alert phrase that usually says, "Excuse me, ____ needs your attention." And I need to change it back. It's cursing at me. :)

I had changed this a long time ago, so I don't remember how. It was done on an older computer and carried over to my new one. I think it was done through the terminal...

Is it possible to exclude single contacts from the mute? For example: I want to hear when I recieve an SMS alert even if I mute my iPhone 4.

No iPhone apps have access to the necessary API's to do so...they're all sandboxed.

I m trying to send a email and sms alert to people and it works fine on all systems expect on Iphone,the problem is swedish charcters doesn't show on iphones used by people in sweden but works absolutely fine on iphones in india.
the code i m using is right below,plz have a look and not into the problem as problem is a bit strange.
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0\n" ;
            $headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"UTF-8\"\n";
            $headers .= "X-Priority: 1 (Highest)\n";
            $headers .= "X-MSMail-Priority: High\n";
            $headers .= "Importance: High\n";
            // Additional headers
            $headers .= 'From: Rakesh <[email protected]>' . "\r\n";
            foreach($disemail as $email)
                $to = $email;

                $message = $smsText;
                mail($to,'=?UTF-8?B?'.base64_encode($subject).'?=',$message,$header);

        $smsText = utf8_encode($smsText);

i have tried this new charset combination specifically for iphone and i m waiting for response from sweden alliance.....i hope this works fine as iso works great for 8-bit characters.
would like to have your thoughts though.
$headers .= "Content-Type:text/plain; charset=\"iso-8859-1\"\n format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable";

The answer helped me.But still, what are the settings that I have to change for the behavior of the mouse pointer towards finder? Also the mouse pointer sometimes doesn't accept my command and start clicking itself.what is the problem and how to fix it?

If the mouse clicks something on its own then it looks like you have a hardware problem with the trackpad or possibly the battery that is right underneath the trackpad.
I have read that the battery can swell and that would put pressure on the trackpad.

My iphone calendar keeps changing the alert and second alert times I put in

Ever since updating to 7.0.2, my Iphone calendar keeps changing the alert and second alert times I input for an event to different times. Why is it doing this and how can I fix it?

Are you syncing your phone with iTunes and then with iCloud? This can cause duplicates. Sync with one or the other, but not both.
