#SMSNotify SMSNotify is an application that will allow your iPhone to vibrate when you have a missed text message or a new voicemail. This is actually not a new application, it is also available via Installer for firmware 1.1.4 and below. However, the app has changed slightly. In SMSNotify 2.0, if you have a missed text, your iPhone will vibrate three times and if you have a new voicemail, your iPhone will vibrate two times. However, this only works if your iPhone is in sleep mode (or lock mode). If your iPhone is plugged in or not in sleep mode, the app will not make your iPhone vibrate. ‘

As cool as this application is…which it is, Apple’s stock notifications just don’t cut it…it does not work for me. I tested both the SMS and the voicemail notify and neither worked. My iPhone was in sleep mode when I tested them and I left it sit for quite a while…I got nothing. Let me know in the comments if this app is working for you…it can be a lifesaver!

Note: This is just a code app. Which means after you install it, there will not be an icon on your SpringBoard.

Update: My iPhone just vibrated for the missed SMS and voicemail. This happened when I brought my iPhone out of sleep mode. So, I’m not sure what the deal is with that!

This app does not have an icon and is not added to your SpringBoard when you download it…it is just a code app. I think this is a great idea since I tend to miss the one time that the iPhone does notify me that I have a text message. The only issue I have found is that it does not work when your phone goes into auto-lock mode…however, if you have your iPhone set to check your email every 15 minutes (or whatever you have it set for) it will vibrate when your iPhone “wakes up” to do it’s checking! What would be really cool is if you could also have it make the “new text message” sound too and if it would do it when you have a unchecked voicemail! This app is available in the Installer.app through the Ste Packaging source. Here is the screenshot:
