How To Get Sidekick 2008 to Vibrate a Text is Received?

Someone asked this at Yahoo Answers. 

 how do i get my sidekick 2008 to vibrate when i get a text?
i just bought a sidekick 2008 and i cant get it to vibrate when i receive a text. all that happens is an icon shows up in the corner? and suggestions?
Thanks

Here is the  Answer I gave:

You need to have the data plan otherwise it doesn’t vibrate or ring when you first get a text. Try setting your pending message alert to 2 minutes under sound settings so 2 minutes after you get the text it vibrates or rings.

I didn’t know that but know I do.  I hope that it helps you out.

    i have the 2008 but i dont have the data plan, so how can i get it to vibrate when i get a text

  7. GrinningFool says:

    Zach, that is true, but that will make it vibrate when everything comes in. The thing I am referring to is when your sound profile is set to an audible selection.

  8. zach says:

    actually you can just goto your sound profiles and just check the box for vibrate.
