Android as a pager?

[Sandman333]

I need to set up my Razr Maxx as a pager, meaning that I need an app that is contact specific so that when I receive a SMS/MMS from that contact, it plays a specific alert tone that I select, repeats it on a selected interval and for a selected time/repetitions. I also need to be able to easily disable it in certain situations (working with Smart Actions would be a plus.

I had an app on my blackberry called Alert Matrix Pro that did this for me.

I found an app called Missed Call / SMS Alert Pro. From the description on the Market, it looks like this might be what I need. However, there are very few reviews. Does anyone have experience with this app or a suggestion for another?

I found an app that does what I need. It's SMS Alert by FastMob.net and is free in the app market. Filters SMS by keyword and can set a 30 minute alert duration.

I am looking for something very similar! I need an app to replace my pager, so it has to be secure and compliant as well as I always HAVE To receive my pages.. I have been looking online at different sites.. but i don't want to trust my important pages to a simple or free application. I need something more robust and professional. Any ideas?

This works. Simple but robust operation. Choose the keywords you need to activate the pager tone, and then choose the tone as well.
