Is there any app out there that can like show something on my screen when i get a call or text message? I usually have my headphones on and miss calls and messages even when my phone is not on silent..
P.S. the app has to be free and work for sony ericsson phones!
Any help appriciated!
 
Apple's Address Book can display incoming calls and SMS on screen, just click the little bluetooth button in the toolbar to pair your phone. You can also make outgoing calls and send SMS right from within the app... it's more powerful than I knew about! Look through Address Book's Help for more info.

What? Seriously? Sweet!

Can it do it over wired phone lines too, or does it have to be bluetooth?

This is awesome - I had no idea this feature existed. Apple simply never ceases to amaze.
