I use the Pay as You Go Service and everything works fine. I use SMS, MMS, Internet, everything. Everything is cool.
For those of you who have used PayAsYou go you know that EVERYTIME you make/recieve phone calls, make/recieve messages and use the browser, the service sends you an alert saying "The last transaction cost X.XX USD. Your account balance is XX.XX USD." It is an automated alert that AT&T always sends no matter what. I went to the ATT store and call customer service and asked if that can be disabled and the answer is no. Ok thats fine then. But here is what DRIVE ME INSANE!!!! Everytime i get an alert it make a sound..."DAH DING" No matter what i do, no matter what profile I set it to IT ALWAYS MAKE A SOUND!!! I went under advance under profiles and made sure everything is on mute, and it is. But still it make a noise!! UGH! Its very frusterating. I want it to SHUT UP!!! Please help me out! How can i quite this noise!!!!!
Here are some pictures of what the alert looks like.
Think it may just be the BB since it has so many alerts. I once had a go phone because there was one person I talked to on that network and getting that I saved my tmobile minutes but it never da ding.. I would be pretty annoyed to if it happened everytime.

I have no experience with pay as you Go phone services so I can't duplicate your problem, but it sounds to me like it might be a carrier override if you've tried every option to mute it and nothing works. I doubt there is anything wrong with your phone.
Under Profiles>Advanced>Edit is there no option to edit the notification?
yes
they said its a manditory alert
its computer generated
ive always gotten it even with my SE and my RAZR but those phones never made a sound
only m pearl and curve
Have you tried posting your question in the "Ask your ATT Questions Here" thread with the sticky in the carrier folder? If there is a solution I'm pretty sure they'll get it to you!

Hi... I have a gophone account and i bought an iPhone from someone. I get getting that ANNOYING system alert. And it would play an annoying noise and it seriously got on my nerves.
The only way i could fix the problem was by breaking into the phone and deleting the sound file that was going off everytime i got the system alert messages..
For instance:
\System\Audio\
something.blah
something2.blah
I found out which one was the same sound that was being played when i got the system alert... And i just deleted that thing!!!!
There is NOTHING we can do to stop the system alert messages. Those come directly from ATT and they refuse to stop them!
All we can do is delete the stupid sound file thats being played!
Now, i have NO CLUE how to get into the blackberrys internal folders!
Hope this helps!
