My phone does not have the option to change any audible alerts. When I turn on my phone, a window pops up to tell me I have messages. There is only one message alert sound, there isno separate alert for VM, so I guess that same sound is used for both voice mail and text messages.

Most phones also give you this audible when you turn on your phone if VM is waiting, and i think most phones can be set to periodically alert you that you have VM waiting. ...mike --- In [EMAIL PROTECTED], "Matt \"Blind Biker\" Roberts" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I like the current system of notification of voice mail messages. > I'm totally blind so I can't see icons that are displayed on the > phone.
