Yipes - having major sms alert problem

[polstein]

Major disaster for me - when sms messages show, no audio alert is being played.

I'm looking at my Sound & Notification settings, and I have:

"Messaging: New text message" set to
Play Sound (checked) - Alarm4
Repeat grayed out (but would love it to repeat - might look at 3rd party)
Display message on screen (checked)
Flash light for no limit

I did the same for: "Messaging: New e-mail messag.." but the rest is cut off. No difference.

Would there be a difference when sending directly to my phone # (#########) vs using email to send to the device (##########@txt.att.net in my case) ??

I jumped too soon, but I mught as well post the solution for future searches:

Photo Contacts PRO was suppressing the audio. Sending to the pager using ##########@txt.att.net was causing the pages to show as "unknown" - the HTC shows it as coming from <today's date as the sender>

Photo Contacts PRO has a SMS audio default, and a "Unknown" default.

The "Unknown" was set to no audio.

Changes it and it works fine.

<Whew!>
