Vibra-Connect is a beta software for Nokia S60 mobile devices that gives vibration based alerts and signals during a phone call conversation. For example, if you are on a per minute billing plan, you can configure the software to vibrate at the 55th second to give you a heads up before one minute is over.

Vibra-Connect can vibrate on the following conditions:

- when a phone call is connected. This allows you to avoid holding the mobile phone near your ear when waiting for the call to be answered
- at the 55th second of a phone call
- when the phone call is disconnected
