Text Message Indicator on outside of phone?
My boyfriend has a Nokia 2650 (a few years old now). I don’t know if it has an external display, but the sides light up and flash when you have a text message waiting or missed call (with different light patterns for each), and possibly some other things. It’s really noticeable when you come back into the room and it’s flashing away, so he never misses texts. It’s also really loud and can be heard all over the house (although that can be turned down), so easy to keep track of.
Problem is, with the model above, if you happen to not be in the room when the txt goes off, it will only stay on the display for a limited amount of time. Then you have to open the phone to find out if you have any texts or missed calls. I am wanting a phone where this information stays on the external display.
The Nokia 6131 shows the number of unread texts and missed calls on the outside display. The display goes into a low-power non-backlit mode after a few minutes to save battery, so you won’t be able to see it from across the room but it doesn’t turn off altogether. Other than that it’s a decent phone but nothing special.
