Is there a way to have iphone 4 blink when receiving a text message?

I just switched over to iphone4 from a blackberry and wanted to know if there is a setting that allows the iphone to blink red or green when receiving a text message, much like the blackberry does. my phone is on silent and, without a function like this, i am unable to tell when i am receiving a text message. if there are any other things that would allow for notification as well, please let me know! also, is there a text message icon that can appear at the top of the phone, like the lock icon? thanks a lot!

Multiple vibrations when receiving a text message

I recently switched from a Motorola phone to an iPhone 3GS and it seems that the iPhone only vibrates 1 time when I receive a text message. I don't often feel the phone vibrate in these instances. Is there a way to change the settings on the phone so it will vibrate multiple times when I receive a text?

You can't change the setting. However, if you don't open the text it will vibrate again a few minutes later.

Since installing iOS 8, why do I receive new text message alerts when I send text messages?

When I send an outgoing text message, I receive a new text notification in the form of a badge on my text message app. Any ideas how to make this stop?
Specs:
iPhone 5s
iOS 8.0.2

Sonds like you guys are sharing the same apple id. Go to settings - message - send and receive and make sure your phone number is the default for both phones.

My iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when receiving a text message

for some reason since yesterday, my Iphone will not vibrate or make a sound when I receive a normal or Imessage text message.
I double checked that vibration works in general and it does. so does the sound file for the Text tone.
My ringer works fine as well as vibration for incoming calls but nothing works with a normal text message (even whatsapp works fine).
I have no idea what could be the issue here.
Any ideas?

- Unmute your phone
- Set your Ringtone to default
- Adjust your volume
- If you're on iOS6 - DO NOT DISTURB feature turn it OFF
Try again

Nokia 5800 + Headset when receiving a text message

I've got the standard headset wich is included in the box hooked up to my XM 5800, When I'm listening to my music, no matter wich profile I'm using... It's like, at the moment when I receive a message, the phone switches to the loudspeaker for a split second, so the music is heard through the loudspeaker, sure, only for a split second but... annoying, and... the Music in the headset stops playing... but, resumes when the supposed ringtone/vibration indicating that i've received a messages stops... I've tried all profiles... and some other settings, even tried to reset the phone... Nothing works,

its a bug hopefully to be fixed in the next firmware release

HT3529 Why do I not receive a ringtone or vibration when receiving a text message?

I Have an iPhone 5 but it doesn't make a ringtone sound or vibrate even though it is checked in the settings, does anyone know why?

Is the device on Vibrate?
Is a valid ringtone selected?
Is there a notification when a call is incoming?
Has basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide been tried?

My iPhone does not alert every time I receive a text message, only some of the time. Anyone else have this problem?

My iPhone 4S does not alert every single time I receive a text message, only some of the time. The software is all up to date. Anyone else have this problem?

There are a number of different alerts that can be played on the iPhone. Have you turned the mute switch on? That is located on the side of the phone. When it is in the down/on position (the orange is showing) you should not get any sound alerts. Also, it could be an SMS, a voicemail, an email, a 3rd party alert (if you have particiular apps that provide alerts). You would need to check all of those settings, but with the mute switch on you should not get any sound alerts.

HT4436 Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??

Why is my daughter receiving my text messages on her itouch when I send them from my iphone? We are both on icloud so how can I separate the two? Do I need another icould or apple account??

It's happening because you are using the same Apple ID for iMessage. You don't need to do anything with your iCloud account to fix this. You should create a separate Apple ID for her device to use with iMessage and FaceTime. (You can continue to share the same ID for purchasing from the iTunes and App stores if you wish; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID you use for other services.) Once you've done this, on her device go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with the new ID. Do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.
Another caution is that if you share and iCloud account with her, any data you both sync with the account such as contacts, will be merged and the merged data will appear on both devices. If you don't want to end up with each other's contacts, calendars, etc. on your devices, you should have separate iCloud accounts to. If you want to make this change, go to Settings>iCloud on her device and tap Delete Account. (This only deletes the account from the device, not from iCloud.) When prompted about what to do with the iCloud data be sure to choose Keep On My iPod. Then set up a new iCloud account with her new ID, turn on iCloud data syncing again, and when prompted choose Merge.

When I send text messages to another iphone on my wireless plan I receive the sent message to my iphone.

When I send text messages to my wife's iphone I receive the sent message to my iphone. Is there anyway to prevent this from happening?

Having seperate apple ID's will fix it, but here's how to fix it without adding a new ID.
Go to settings, messages, send and receive, be sure your number is the only one checked. If her number is checked as well you will receive your texts to her as well.

My company sends my iphone4 Urgent text messages during after hours. How can i have my iphone 4 alert me and wake me during after hours endlessly of a text message until I acknowledge Ive received the text message?

Any suggestions on how to make the IPHONE 4 continuously alert of an incoming text message until acknowledged?

You have a Verizon phone. 4.2.10 IS the current version for the Verizon iPhone. You don't have all the same options as on the GSM iPhones. This will be rectified when iOS 5 ships this fall.
I'm assuming the text messages you're getting are automated...? If not, you could always have a human being call you every few minutes until you answer if you don't respond to the page after a certain amount of time.
