Motorola V8 RAZR (Meteor) - Annoying SMS alert beep! Help!!

    I recently bought a Motorola V8 RAZR on Meteor bill pay. It's a nice phone, very solidly built and I generally like it. However, when it receives a SMS message or any other type of message it will beep every couple of mins until it is read.

    I have tried everything to turn of this "feature" but, I can't seem to get it to shut up.

    It's extremely annoying as there are times when I might get a text, know that I have it but not be in a position to read it e.g. during a meeting, at work, etc. I don't mind the single text alert beep when the message actually comes in but, I really don't need my phone to beep at me every few mins to nag me into reading it..

    If anyone has any ideas, please let me know as I am going to see if I can change to a different model otherwise and I do actually find the phone great from a design point of view and the sound quality is outstanding too.:confused:

    I had a motorolla with this feature, I think al motorolla's have it. Can you not just acknowledge the mms or put the phone on silent.

    It's very handy if you put your phone down, miss a call and don't realize you've missed it. I wish my nokia had this feature.

    Don't think you can turn it off. I never came across the option. You could adjust you phone's 'meeting' profile to mute wanring tones?

    It seems you can only adjust the Alert volume from 1 to 7, there is no option to silence it completely :(

    I can why it might be a useful feature in certain circumstances, but it should be possible to turn it off!!!:confused:

    go into ringing settings as if changing the ringtone and down at bottom of the menu should be an option of "reminders" set this to off should sort it out
    you can probably also set it to vibrate?
