sidekick lx doesn't alert me on a new message.

Hey, I got a sidekick lx from my friend, and no matter what i do, I can't get the sidekick to vibrate or flash whenever i get a new message.
When I go to the "New Message Alert"(I set it to pulsation, and I tried other ones), it works when i preview it, but not when I actually get the message.

"Do you have the Sidekick data plan?"
No.
Do I need it for it to vibrate every time i get a text message though? =\

This is a known issue, and right now, yep. It's going to be fixed in a future update, but, yep, without the plan, it won't alert on incoming text messages. I'll post a workaround tonight. 2  out of 4 found this valuable. Do you?

That's kinda messed up...
Why would a data plan be required to alert you when you get texts?
I set it to alert 2 minutes If i still have a text, and it works.
Thanks anyways, though.

It'll make it vibrate 2 minutes after you do. I'll put it up tonight. I've been busy rescuing a dead hard drive.
