Sidekick 2008.
I was unsure what category to put this in, but it's alright. Lol.
So, I purchased a Sidekick 2008 toward the beginning of this year. I never got an internet plan for it because my dad says it's too much money, so I just use it because it has a qwerty pad.
My problem is that when I get a text message, my phone doesn't vibrate to alert me. There is the option to alert 2 minutes, 5 minutes, or 10 minutes after receiving the message, so I have it set on two.
On other forums I have read, they say it won't vibrate when I get texts unless I have the entire internet plan. However, my phone does vibrate when I get a picture message.
I know what they said in the other forums is untrue because my phone used to vibrate when I got text messages until I restarted it because I was on a plane and my phone when crazy.
So, has this ever happened to anyone? & Can anyone help me fix this?
My text message option is already on a vibrating ringtone, so I know that is not the issue. And the sound profile I have allows the vibration because my phone still DOES vibrate for calls and picture messages.
Thanks so much in advance.

Hey there.
Same thing happened to me! I currently have a Sidekick 2008 but cannot fathom paying that $35 extra dollars on top. Anyways, I was a bit weirded out why it alerted me when I got a voicemail and a new picture message because it wasn't alerting me when I got a text. So, I went into the T-mobile store and talked to several representatives and each one of them told me that it won't alert you unless you have that plan.
I'm not sure why your phone randomly worked and then just stopped working, because it could be something with your phone. But, I suggest you go to a T-mobile store and see what's up. They probably will tell you the same thing that the forums are saying, I just don't know why it worked and then stopped.
