The outpourings of a deranged mind

Text notification

I got a call today from a friend I’d not spoken to in ages which was great. The timing was perfect as I was stuck at Norwich station for 45 minutes and I had time to talk and catch up. During the conversation my phone went beep to tell me I had a text. Fine, probably my mum just replying to my text about being late and the new time to collect me. 5 minutes later beep again. And again 5 minutes later. Hmm. I’ve confused the phone as it was on hands free and it isn’t any more so the screens locked and I can’t see who’s texting so incessently. Thinking it’s my mum asking where I was because shed got to the station when I was supposed to arrive I cut short my conversation and go find out what all the fuss is. Turns out it was only one text. I keep forgeting the latest version of the Jesus Phone software keeps bleeping at you when you get a text until you aknowledge it and it gets me every time. I wish you could turn it off because sometimes I just read the text as it’s flashed up when I receive it and don’t do anything else. 5 minutes later it’s beeping and I’m thinking I’ve got a new text. If anyone has worked out how to stop it fe doing this please let me know.

    Hmm, I’ve not noticed this behaviour before. I’ve certainly received texts that I’ve ignored (coz I’m in a meeting or something) and the only thing that’s unusual is the front screen popup saying i’ve had 3 texts, 4 missed calls and 27 voicemails, or similar.

    Maybe the act of switching on/off silent defeats it?
