1. A computer-implemented method of operating a mobile communication terminal to regulate user alerts that are generated therefrom, the computer-implemented method comprising: responding to receipt of a defined message through a RF transceiver circuit while the terminal has remained stationary for at least a threshold time by setting an alert logic indicator through operations performed by the computer circuit; and responding to sensed movement of the terminal while the alert logic indicator is set by generating a user alert from the terminal to a user through operations performed by the computer circuit.
