iPhone vibrates during a call when receiving a TXT message????

Hi all,

I could not find any other thread with this problem.
Right now, my settings when I receive a txt message are: vibrate and ring.
When I'm on a call, and receive a txt, the iPhone vibrates! I've owned cell phones for 12 years, and that never happened before. Is there anyway to correct that and get the phone not to vibrate when on a call? this is really annoying...

thanks!

No way I know of to turn it off. I actually like it doing this so I know if a text/email has arrived, sometimes I need to know to relay info regarding the phone call. It just vibrates for a second.

If you would like to be able to disable it tell Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

it is useful to know you're getting a txt when on a call, for sure. But the vibration when the phone is on your ear is rather unpleasant. A single tone or alert like on any other phone would be just fine!
Thanks for the link - I'm definitely going to visit it.

I meant just a tone, similar to the one you hear 'in the earphone' when someone calls you while already on the phone... nothing loud 😉

Found this forum via Google search and I'm annoyed by the vibrate during phone call. It distracts both parties. This is supposed to be Apple that thinks of things that most never do. This is sloppy. I wrote them too.
