How do I get repeat voicemail alerts

How do I get repeat voicemails on the Iphone 4.

It is surprising iphone does not have this feature. My 5 year previous cell phone had the feature, but would also give you the option to disable it if you just wanted 1 beep. That way if you step away from your cell or get busy, you at least had a repeat reminder to check your voicemail. This is CRITICAL in Emergency situations (medical) or time sensitive things that can come up, especially if you don't know about them in advance.
Can we have more discussion on this? Are we sure this simple feature does not exist for the iphone?? Is there an Application I can get that will help solve this problem? I am sure I am not the only one who could benefit from it.

  • How do I get repeat voicemail alerts on my new iphone 3GS?  Please help.

    I got the new iphone 3GS. Right now, if someone leaves a voicemail it beeps once and that's it. This is fine, except when I am not near my phone when this beep sounds. (I would have to manually check the phone to see if anyone called).
    I would like the phone to beep as a reminder that I have a voicemail waiting say every 5 or 10 minutes until I listen to it (or purposely acknowledge there is a vm for me and decide to listen to it later). Can anyone tell me how to set up a "repeat" voicemail alert? (Every phone I have owned has had this).

  • My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message telling me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message?

    My iPad screen is stuck on an alert message that is informing me that I have not backed up to iCloud in 5 weeks. How do I get pass this alert message.

    I have been dealing with this problem since upgrading to ios 6.  I have an old ipod touch that is still running ios 5.? that backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have attemped every solution posted on these help boards (i.e. deleting accounts, turning off all apps from back-up, restarting device, changing routers, attempting back-ups through different wifi spots) sometimes one or a combination of these band-aid fixes will work for a day or two, then suddenly the ipad (version 3) will simply stop backing up, and I will spend hours of frustration going through all the tedious fixes.  All the while my old ipod touch running ios 5 backs up daily with no problem whatsoever.  I have called Apple support and they seemed surprised that this is a problem and offer no real solution whatsoever.
    Until Apple gets their head out of the sand on this one, and actually fixes the obvious bug that exists is ios 6 this problem will continue and will not be resolved.

  • How can i get repeating message tones

    How can I get repeating message tones when i recieve a sms?

    You can't (officially).
    You can only create your own ringtones.
    If your phone is jailbroken, you can search Cydia etc for apps that allow you to do so.

  • How can I get my voicemails that I receive as a .wav attachment through email to play?

    My office sends my voicemails to my email as a .wav attachment.  Until a couple of weeks ago, they played just fine, but now, when I tap the attachment, the media player (QuickTime) will open up, then close without playing.  Help is appreciated!! 

    Thank you.  Somehow my Google keyboard app got removed.  It's all good now.

  • Howdy all, anyone know how to not get a text alert while on a call ?

    Does anyone know how to set the iphone 4GS so that you don't get a text alert during calls? But when your not on a call the text alerts sound. Also can you use you music as a ringtone or caller id? Seems like every phone can do these options but iphones.

    There's no phone setting to silence alerts during phone calls.  You can suggest this to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

  • How do I get a "second alert" option in calendar  - using gmail w/ exchange

    Hi -
    I am using gmail calendar and syncing it via "push" of microsoft exchange.
    I am able to set a single "alert" for a calendar, but not a second alert (as the native iphone calendar will allow, as does gmail calendar").
    How do I set a second alert for a calendar event (inside the iphone)?
    Bonus question: there seems to be some nuances to how alerts are transferred between gmail calendar and the iphone - for instance where the event was originally entered, etc. Anyone have documentation on how that works???
    Thanks!!!

    I am not aware of a setting in the phone for a second calendar alert, except if you try and snooze the original alert. However, I'm sure you are asking for it to alert until you acknowledge it, correct?

  • How do you get new voicemails first?

    @How can I bypass the old voicemails and get the new ones first.  I could do that on my office smartphones but my personal one starts with the old messages first.  Verizon techs say that is the way the system is set up.  I do not think that is the case but an attempt to get me to buy the visual voicemail system.

    I can't really answer your question about the stock voicemail, however, I can tell you a free visual voicemail that work well.  I use Google Voice for my voicemail.  It definitely lets you choose the order in which you can listen to your voicemails.  It will also give the transcript of your voicemail message (not always very accurate).  The Verizon VVM does not do that.  I tried the VVM for about 5 minutes before I switched to the Google Voice app.  You simple download the app on your device and follow the instructions for set up.  You do need to choose a phone number and forward your unanswered calls.  If you choose to go with Google you will also have the ability too leave personal messages for your contacts, it will also allow you to screen your call if you give people your Google number instead of your regular cell number.

  • How do I get my Voicemail to play?

    I have a 4S I can see the messages but when I try to get them to play it wil not do it. This is very bad as I am in the process of job hunting. Any help please? Do I need an update? Is there an app I can use?

    try a reset, hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up - then try playing your voicemails.

    there might be an app for that, but there is no built in feature already on the mac like that.

  • How do I get an audible alert for email from specific senders without getting the alert for every incoming email?

    I Need to have emails from my family members to have an audible alert when I am traveling. It seems that every email coming in is doing this. I know there is a Do Not Disturb function but it does not seem to apply to emails.

    You can't set a different notification sound for each family member but If you designate the people that you want notifications from as VIP, I think it might be possible to get notifications from family members only.
    Launch mail and tap the blue  "I" in the VIP section. Tap "Add VIP" in order to add the family members to the VIP list that you want to include. Then tap "VIP Alert" to automatically go to the notifications area of the settings app. Set you preferences in there for the family members. Then go to Settings>Notitication Center and turn off the audible notifications for all other mail.
    The setting states that whatever you set for VIP alerts will override the other mail alerts, so I am taking that to mean that what I am suggesting is possible to do.
