Iphone 3G mail alert

Just recently switched carriers from Nextel to AT&T and purchased an Iphone 3G.

Does anybody have a relatively simple solution to audio alert on the mail icon ??

Googled a solution but the technogeek speak is way above my capabilities.

Anybody run into this problem ????

Hedge,

Sorry, just read this post - we all use iPhones at EO. What do you want your alert to do?

Sorry, should have provided more info.

There is only one small audible alert when getting mail. A single, solitary, beep.

When I'm on the road, it is nearly impossible to hear it. It's important mainly in the sense that it's dispatch giving me all the details of the next impending drive.

Also can't hear it when I'm sleeping at home.

Second question, is there any way to substitute a ring tone for the alert ??

Unfortunately you cannot change the sound of an email coming in. You can increase the volume to make it much louder though.

1) Click "Settings" on the Home Screen.
2) Click "Sounds".
3) Make sure the Sound volume slider is all the way up.

Alternatively, you can use the buttons on the side of the phone to increase the volume.
