Is there an app that will periodically alert you, through an alarm, when you you've missed a text or call?

Thanks!

The iPhone settings let you have it repeat the alert a number of times, coupled with notification center it's easy to see missed calls/texts

Thanks! Which settings are you referring to exactly? And what exactly should I be toggling to get the repeated notifications you've mentioned? Thanks for your help...

a. Have you upgraded to iOS 5? If not, do so.

b. Now that you're on iOS 5, swipe to open from the lock screen, and then swipe DOWN from the top of the screen. Voila.

I'm looking for something different. When I owned a Motorola phone, it periodically beeped when I didn't notice that I call or text came in. Is there anything similar for the iPhone?

So, a written notice of the calls and messages you've missed isn't enough??

Oh-kay .... um, no nothing built in that I can think of. Maybe you could check the App Store for a third-party solution.

I have. Hence the post... And which it might seem like I'm asking for a lot, consider this: sometimes one doesn't realize that there's been a missed call w/o an alarm of some sort. Thanks for your input...

Messages you can go into settings -> notifications -> messages and select a repeat option, although it's limited to a max of 10 repeats alerts. There is no repeat on the phone tho.

AFAIK also there are no apps that will do what you want (since running apps in the background is for specific tasks and with apps sandboxed, there is limited access to each app including phone functionality).
