samsung stratosphere

Is there a way to set a different notification alert on the samsung stratosphere for a text message & a voicemail message? I chose an alert that says you have a new text message but the same message is repeated when I get a new voicemail which I do not like. Also is there a way to set how often you get reminder alerts when you have messages. I could do that on my old phone which was great. Sometimes I don't have my phone handy and unless I specifically look I have no idea that I have a missed text or voicemail message. I really like the reminder alerts.

I believe that voicemail uses the system default notification. You can set this by going Home page > Menu> Settings > Sound settings > Notification ringtone. You can also set a specific alert for text messages: Home page > Messaging > Menu > Settings > Select ringtone. As long as you set these two to two different tones, they should be differentiated. But I'm new here, only had the phone about a month, so I could be wrong!

I don't see a way to set the timing of message alerts, though, but if somebody knows of one, that would indeed be great.

Thanks so much for your suggestion but I still cannot set up a separate notification alert for a text message and a voicemail message unless I am doing something wrong.

What are you doing to set up each of the notification alerts? Like I said, I'm a newbie, not an expert, but if you can tell me what you're doing, I might be able to help figure something out.

Thanks so much! I tried it again and it seems to be working for now. Also I found an application "missed call reminder" which allows you to set up reminders if you have a text message or voicemail message. That seems to be working great so far. Thanks for your help!
