Can phone send repeated alerts for a received text message

[jdaa]

I would like the phone to alert me approx every 5 minutes that there is an unread text. My phone alerts that I have a new text but I also want it to alert me again if I don't hear the first alert. Is there a way to do this? Thank you.
