Is there a way to have the P910 play a ringtone periodically when it receives a message (SMS, MMS, email, etc.)? ie. every 2-3mins or something?

Am I missing some setup tab w/ this option? When the screen is in saver mode, and I just happened to miss the initial ringtone alert, I usually be unaware of unread messages in my inbox. That's until I light up the screen ans see the notices.

It's become inconvenient when people are expecting replies...

There's a program called SMS Reminder. Should work for you.

It does work great, but does cost $10. Well worth it though. My 2 complaints about the program are:
1. It does not "remind" you if you get voice mail or a missed call. (I could do without the missed calls, but would like to be reminded I have a voice mail).

2. When the phone is in silent mode, the reminder app does not vibrate rather than play it's reminder tone.

Otherwise it is a good program. I have emailed the developer about these issues, but thus far have not received a reply.

When I have the chance, I'll have to find the program and try it.

I'm surprised the feature is not in the OS from the factory. I guess some people don't need to be reminded of missed messages...

Appreciate the repies. Thanks!

Take a look at SMan v1.4 (*) as it adds incoming sms, missed calls and no network notifications.

Only caveat is that it appears that since installing it that my phone reboots quite frequently. I am going to remove it this weekend to see if that is truly the root of my problems.

I did not know about the notification feature in SMan, and had already bought SMS Reminder. But I tried the feature in SMan. It does work, but is there a way to control how often you get reminders? I see there is a delay, but after the initital delay time, you get an alarm saying you have a missed SMS, but then the alarm goes off constiantly. I would like it to go back to sleep for the delay time before I bug you again.

I also see that SMan supports missed calls, does that also include a missed voice mail? Also, if you put your phone in silent mode, does the vibrate still work on the reminder?
