Just got this phone and for the life of me can't find how to get alerts when I receive a text. I have googled, youtubed, etc but to no avail. I have adjusted the volume button on the phone but it makes no difference. Aaaaaaaaaargh please help  thank you. |

I've gone into the most obvious place called ringtones and sounds. I have vibrate off, ringtone selected and a tone for reminders. It doesn't work with all this!! |

Yes it rings okay, just nothing when I get a text. Wondering if there isn't one lol as it's quite a new phone with Windows 8.1 maybe it's the new design !!! |

The above was a copy/paste from a support website for the Lumia 635.
I will not post links in the forums any more - however if you wish to see the site, enter 'lumia 635 test alert sound settings' into Google and its the second result (the T mobile Support site). |

Have you set up Cortana, the voice assistant? It would have been good if you could have asked her, and she'd helped you sort it. The Lumias have brilliant sat nav in them, complete with traffic monitoring and auto route change. I think you have bought a great phone - wise choice |

Thank you, I do have Cortana but have managed to find the alerts now. I had been in notifications before but totally missed the messaging one (duh)! I absolutely love the phone and have been messing about with it forever lol. |

Thanks. Apart from the alerts it's an amazing phone. I thought I was always going to be a Samsung lover until this came along. And you're right it is incredible value for money, although mine is on contract. |
