Hi paulam61,

I understand you are not able to get notifications for your text messages on your iPhone 4. Are you getting notifications for any of your other applications? Are you having issues with sound in general?

Take a look at the resource below to confirm that you do not have the iPhone set to mute, or have Do Not Disturb enabled. I'll also include basic troubleshooting for sound issues.
