	As far as I can work out, on iPhone, alarms stop after 15 minutes for 90 seconds, then start again (this cycle continues indefinitely).

		+	:I have my 'dumbphone' set with several alarms (five minute intervals, quarter past the hour to half past, different tones. If I totally ignore one (or more) without acknowledging/snoozing it, it'll go for about two minutes (while I'm busy elsewhere in the house, not realising that it's vibrating away on the table I charge it on) and then recur about six minutes after the original time anyway. Meaning that when I finally realise that I've got my sequence of alarms going, I'll frequently cancel one alarm in the sequence and then (within a minute) have to cancel a second, and maybe even a third a minute or so after that. (Never timed it, but this would be consistent.)

 There are a couple spelling mistakes.  'hos' in the first sentence, 'cold' instead of 'could'.  Probably more.
