Getting iphone text messages on vibrate only?

Question

hi, i just got a new iphone, and i'm trying to figure out a couple things re: text messaging.

1) if i have my text messenger set to no sound, and the phone is on vibrate, the phone won't vibrate when i get a text. but if i set it to a sound and on vibrate, it'll do the sound alert AND vibrate... any way to get it to vibrate without having to have a sound as well? is my phone just weird?

2) when a text message comes in, the actual message shows up on the main screen. so if my phone is sitting on a counter, the message will pop up and anyone can see it. anyway to turn that off?

thanks for any tips or answers! :)

Answer 1

1.

Settings->Silent->Vibrate->ON

Turn the ringer switch on the side to ringer OFF...

Now when you get a text message or phone call your phone will vibrate.  A really cool/weird thing is after a while you'll start to get psychologically induced phantom vibrates.

2.

Lock your phone.  If it's unlocked it's free game.

Settings->General->Autolock->Pick a time, generally a minute

Passcode Lock-> ON

I think that's how you do it.

Good luck and enjoy your new phone.
