Will this phone alert when a text message is received?

Hello, I checked my manual regarding phone alerts when text messages are received and I didn't find anything on the subject, I only found alerts for voice mail and link-to-cell capabilities. The phone may have text alert though so perhaps another buyer could assist you further. I'm sorry for any inconvenience on my behalf. Karyn

It will show a missed call message. I am not sure about the voicemail--I don't remember and I have since given the phone away....for what it's worth I believe the answer is yes. This phone is super basic but it worked well for me and I was happy with it when I used it on a recent trip to Europe.

No the incoming number shows and the name associated with the number. The screen does not light up. I do like the phone however.

This phone does not itself have an answering machine but is compatible with many answering machines and voice mail systems. If one's voice mail system sends the appropriate signal to this phone when a new voice mail message is stored, then the phone will audibly peep once and thereafter display a flashing light until the message is heard or cancelled.

Not really. We have this one and we have to pick up the phone and look very carefully to see who the call is from. Sometimes the message is cryptic. I would recommend something with a light behind it.

Yes it announces who the caller is (if the caller is in your contacts) or will announce the phone number, then gives you the option to "answer" or "ignore". This specific feature is very nice because you don't have to look at your phone (i.e. while driving) to see who is calling. Another feature is that all sound goes to the Bluetooth, so I can have my phone on vibrate and it will let me also know when I have a text by sending my "text" sound to the device.

No predictive text and yes the name does show when you get a phone call... Now on another note it has a cover that goes over the charger port it broke off and I had to get another one from the company also the phone got wet and stopped working... I know long use this phone...

Hi Stephen, the other answers are spot on. You have 3 spots for mobile numbers, and then an extra spot for a contractor/property manager's name and phone number, that will be included in each text message alert.

no only the main unit cant text you a sms text message after you have programmed your cell phone number into the main unit the main unit will text you when a sensor has been triggered an it will text you the zone that has been triggered so you will know what door or window or sensor has been opened you will have to add the smoke alarm to the desired zone that you wish an when it is triggered it will also text you i have 2 smoke detectors an they both work very effeciently an are very easy to add on to the main unit

Is the phone on ring or vibrate?? Mine only alerts me when it is on ring, but it does alert you for texts as well.

Yes, it works great for time and phone call alerts. I had hoped it would alert you of an incoming text, but it doesn't.

Yes, there is a visible alert that there are new messages. As soon as you pick up a phone it tells you to play new message. As you are listening to the messages it tells you from whom and when the call was received. I have to tell you that I have had this phone system in my home for quite a while now and love it. I was so impressed with it that I bought a system for both of my children that live in other states and we have very long, very clear conversations on them. I would recommend these phones to anyone looking for just an easy to use phone that is clear and convenient.

there is a light on top of the phone that blinks if you have a message. the message tells you the date and time of the message.

No, it does not. It might say you have voice messages, but there's no setup to check them.

Not by itself. It would need to communicate with another device that is connected to the internet then it could trigger a text or email.

It shows when you have a message, and will beep until the message is listened to
