Incredible and voice mail

My wife just received her Incredible.  She previously had a Razor and when she received a voice mail it would beep about every 3-4 minutes until she checked the message.  On her Incredible it beeps once.  Is there a way to turn it to every few minutes.  If she is out of the room and misses the call and the beep there is no way she knows she received a voice mail message.  The LCD light is incredibly small that warns of a message.  Thanks for any input!!

I don't know the answer to your specific question, but.......


 

After all it is a mobile phone, when she leaves the room, take the phone along....


Not trying to be a smarta$$, I'm just suggesting a way to solve the problem.

 

Good luck,

I only recently noticed that this happens.  I have been using Android for almost 7 months now and it just dawned on me that I only get one notification.  I am sure there is a way to do it perhaps an app or something.  Sorry I can't help you more than that.  I usually look at my phone periodically.  If I have been away from it for very long I look at it when I get back to make sure I didn't miss something.  My wife gets antsy if I don't answer or reply promptly.  I have ADD too so sometimes I am busy and can't look at it when the notification happens so in case I just ignored one and forgot I look at it periodicaly when I think it is odd that I haven't gotten anything in a while.  I get a ton of e-mails in a day so if I go more than an hour or two without an e-mail I start to wonder why.  I did have an app once that had something to do with notifications.  It allowed me to change the color of the LCD depending on what the message was so I could see it.  I don't remember but I think there may be a way to use it to make it beep periodically till you look at an alert. 

 

Ah found this http://www.androlib.com/android.application.ru-orangesoftware-areminder-jqt.aspx  and http://www.androlib.com/android.application.edges-android-reminder-twEE.aspx   The first one works with e-mails and texts the second with texts and missed phone calls. 

 

Now before that link gets edited out Androlib is just a repository of Apps in the Android market.  It shows what is in the market and the information.  It isn't anything weird or whatever gets these things erased it is just a common resourse for Android to allow you to browse the market apps on the big screen with a little more information about who makes it and where to get developer information about it.  The above is just a link to information about an app available for free in the Android market it is nothing more than that.  Please do not erase it.  I am trying to help.
