Help with text message alerts

[sou1 so1di3r]

Hey guys,

So part of my job I have to be sorta "on call" 24/7. I work for a big company and manage an application, so if I goes down anytime I have to be able to respond very quickly.

Right now I have it set so it sends an email to my cell# (which is basically a text) that alerts me of any downtime. But the problem is sometimes I sleep through these if they come at 2 or 3 am. Especially if my phone is on vibrate.

So what I'm wondering, is there a way to set a certain text to like keep alerting me, or ring only for that text?

Or maybe an app that can help this?

I don't want to carry around a pager if I don't have to.

You can make it so you get notified more than once if you don't look at the notification (Settings --> Notifications --> Messages --> Repeat Alert), but setting an alert for one specific text isn't possible.

Turn sounds on and more than one notification.

yeah but then I guess every text message will just beep a ton....
