I only say "Your phone was ringing" when someone gets a phone call.
By メール do you mean SMS?
Hm. If the phone was on silent mode and vibrated you can say "Your phone vibrated."
If the phone made a noise I guess I just would say "Your phone went off"/"Your phone made a noise"/"I think you got a message"

Oh, "make a noise." Thanks a lot!
