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.

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

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.
