MY 4S phone sometimes will sound an alert when I receive a text and sometimes it will not. No setting has changed and can be a different person with a different alert sound. What can I do do fix this?

Text messaging is my main means of communication so I definitely understand your concern.My brother had this same issue and we found a solution. You just need to make sure some settings are correct.Go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Turn assistive touch "ON">Click home button>Tap on the White circle in the top left hand of screen (assistive touch button)>tap device>tap un-mute> Test theĀ resolution> disable assistive touch following the steps listed earlier> then test again.If this does not help you will need to perform a backup/restore via iTunes http://vz.to/ZIbIge.
