IPhone message alert problems?

I have an iPhone 4S. If i get one message, I can either view it or decrease the volume to make the the alert stop. But If I receive multiple messages at once, the message tone will play until the tone is over, even if I put the phones sound off. How can I make it shut up when I get multiple messages?

  • Will my message be delivered if sent as text message on iphone? My friend said that she was having phone problems earlier today. My message was being sent as an imessage, but I guess she wasn't receiving everyone of them, just getting the notifications that they were sent to her but she couldn't read them. I then responded to her, but it was sent as a text message this time and i have gotten no response. I'm not as much concerned about her responding or not, I just want to know if she will receive the message.
  • Why won't my 5c send a message as MMS when it's a long message to a non iPhone user? Whenever I type a LONG message to an SMS user (says Text Message in the messaging "box") my 5c won't convert to MMS and the recipient gets the message in dozens of out of order messages instead of the whole fluid message. I have MMS on in Settings. What can I do and why is it doing this?
  • Why is my iphone making the message tone but no message? My iphone, for the first ever time made the message tone and I have no message?
