Question
do you know a brand of cell phone that has a light on it that blinks when you have a missed call or voice mail?? My old Samsung used to have it and I want to buy a new phone that has a notification light.
Thanks

Answer
The blinking light would only work if you had a phone that you got from your carrier because if you got a phone that wasn't associated with your carrier, that notification wouldn't work properly anyway. If your old Samsung did this, it is likely that newer Samsung's will do the same. All of the phones show missed calls right on the screen and have an icon that shows you have a voice mail. All SmartPhones will blink a different color when you have a notification. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
