This feature is incredibly annoying.

In fact, it’s annoying enough that I hereby declare everybody who likes it and especially everybody who bugged Apple to add it to be a douchebag.

Seriously, way to ruin my sleep. Fuck multiple sms alerts. If you need that shit you should kill yourself, I think.

I recently dowloaded the smsminder on my iphone 3GS. I set up a reminder (not recurrent) and deleted it. I still get this smsminder text message every night at 10pm. I uninstalled and installed smsminder and still get the text. Do you know how I can fix this?

Thanks for your help.

I would prefer a keystroke or something that will silence it. I like being reminded. But if I’ve read the damn message in the preview, let that be the end of it!

I had to search google just to find out if there was a freakin’ way to disable this thing, and after reading this, I guess there isn’t.

Like the article says, in theory this is a good idea, but in practice, this is just awful.

My example: I get ESPN text alerts every time a team scores when the Phillies play. That way, if I’m out to dinner or doing something, I still know the score and inning, etc.

HOWEVER, when I’m WATCHING the game on tv (which is very often), I know before-hand when runs and scored, and as a result, my phone is beeping 3 times in 10 minutes for 1 run that I don’t even need to read

please tell me that 3.0 addresses and fixes this issue..

My friend has the developer beta of 3.0 and there is now a menu setting to disable the multi-alert.

I’m also very annoyed by this and it’s something Apple should fix ASAP because it drives me nuts, and I imagine from this post there are many others annoyed by it.

I initially waited a while to update to the 2.1 patch… now I can’t disable this horrid “feature”.
