Lumia Windows Phone Text & Emails?

[sanzomat]

Hi All,

My employer has just changed my phone from a Blackberry to a Nokia Lumia 635 Windows Phone.

It has paired fine with bluetooth and there is no problem making calls or recognising the contacts etc.

However, on the BB it would alert me on the T&G screen to new emails and texts and give me the option to have the system read them out to me. On the Lumia T&G can't see emails or texts. Is there a setting I need to change or is it just that some phones don't support this feature?

I'm not sure how helpful this will be but my Lumia connects to the through the bluetooth ok on our Prius (I have the older head unit pre-Touch and Go). It reads out the text messages through the voice commands, however it doesn't do this for emails. One thing to note though is that if my phone is on silent it wont pick them up for some reason, the volume needs to be turned up on the phone.
