Well, I've been talking on the developer forums for Windows 10 Mobile, and it looks like repeating audible notifications are impossible!!
I simply cannot believe it. All I want is for my phone to bleep every few minutes if I've received an unread SMS message, so I don't miss it.
At the moment, if I am away from my phone when an SMS message comes in, I don't find out it's waiting until the next time I use my phone. This is ridiculous! Every dumbphone I've ever owned would beep repeatedly if there was an unread SMS. Android supports it (with a free downloadable app). But for some bizarre reason, W10M doesn't provide it in the OS, nor does it provide the APIs for an app to be written to do the job.
It is essential that I do not miss a waiting SMS message. For that one, simple, reason I cannot use Windows Mobile (or its WP8.1 predecessor) and I've got to go back to pox-ridden Android! Yeuch!!
Sorry, I'm in a right old grumpy mood about this. I love WP8.1 and W10M, and I simply don't understand why Microsoft can't provide such simple and obvious feature (I repeat, like every dumbphone on the planet already has). Now I've got to put my lovely 1520 up for sale! Unbelievable.
