One way for you to easily know who texted you is to use a custom notification sound for certain contacts. For dual-SIM units, you can assign different custom text message tones for each SIM card so you’ll know which of them received messages.
We all know that the default notification sound can become very boring after months of use. So using a custom text tone can help you break that boredom and even add more personality to your phone.
Moreover, you can just use your favorite track or music to be your custom text message tone so you’ll become jolly whenever you receive text messages.
