Does it notify you of texts

I do not recommend this item. When I got mine it wouldn't connect to my phone, we tried repeatedly to make it work. On the box a lot of the features it was supposed to have were marked out with a black sharpie. I'm not sure if that means they didn't work or is someone was just messing around when it was packed. Mine never worked so I can't tell you if it takes texts.

It does but you can still see it light up when you get notifications and missed calls.

Yes! it first vibrates (alert) and you can read it as it comes in or you can pull up the txt msg icon and read you last 30 txt msgs.

email yes - if you have a email address for your sms(text) number then yes. Also the app on your smartphone alerts you too.

Not necessarily. It does keep a text log of your GPS locations that is updated at intervals.

Yes...It gives me the date and time and phone number that called. This is part of your Voice mail carrier, and if they don't provide it then you will not hear it when retrieving your message.

It will send the messages automatically until you turn the SPOT off. You can also send OK messages while tracking. That is what you can push when you choose and the tracking will resume automatically after the OK message is sent

Yes, it has the "voice-to-text" feature built in. When you go to send a text it is left from the spacebar. Just like apple products.

Hope it's just an automated message. I signed up for notification when it becomes available.

Yes, there are two types of alerts. App notifications and email.You may be able to use email to SMS if your carrier provides it. Pictures come through, but the text shows up in HTML.http://www.digitaltrends.com/mobile/how-to-send-e-mail-to-sms-text/

It's true, you will need to check the screen for the "new message" alert. It's easy to see, but perhaps not as easy as a red, blinking light.

It has the ability to search items on the phone such as call John" or search for items on the web. If you do speech to text it ill take a while and sometimes misses words.

Yes and when you have a message it will give you a funny beep when you pick up the phone to indicate messages.

Yes, it does. There is a flashing red LED when there is a message waiting, and if I recall correctly, there is also an audible beep that is configurable from the setup menu (it can be turned completely off).

Yes, it works great for time and phone call alerts. I had hoped it would alert you of an incoming text, but it doesn't.

As long as you set the time it will tell you the day of the week and time of the call. Yes it tells you the number of messages verbally and the phone will say new message. You can hear the playback on all the phone lines not just the main base. Phone is great and I would buy again.

I'm confused, it has a blinking arrow that alerts you that you have a message if that's what you are asking??
