iCal alerts late on my iPhone

Hi

I set up a recurring alert to remind me to take some drugs I have been prescribed, with the reminder set for 5 minutes before the event.

I set up the events on my mac and they synced to me macbook and iPhone via iCloud.

iCal on my mac and macbook reminds me as requested, 5 minutes before the event. However on my iPhone the alert doesn't chime in until 5 minutes after.

Not life threatening I know but I was wondering if anyone has any idea why this is happening.

The clocks on my devices are all showing the same time.

First things first, is the alert set to chime within iCal, on the phone itself?

yes it is - but it chimes 5 minutes late

My apologies, i missed that in your original post...

So it chimes 5 minutes after the event, or actually on the event?

Say you want it to chime at 9:55am (5 minutes before pill time) - the phone chimes at 10:00 or 10:05?
