Sim card memory is full
This phone wont let me receive text messages now, it says SIM card full! Please delete SMS messages.
I have been deleting old SMS messages and it continues to say that, what can i do? |
Re: Sim card memory is full
Do you store contacts on the SIM card?
If so, move them to your Address Book and delete them also. Open your Address Book > press the menu key > SIM Phone book. |
Re: Sim card memory is full
You've been inadventently saving SMS messages to the SIM card.
Options [wrench icon] - SMS change the option of (something like) "Save SMS to SIM" to No. |

I dont want to delete my old text messages, i may have to as a last resort though but i am looking for ways around that |
Re: Sim card memory is full
I remember the thread.
It sounds like its saving them regardless of setting. As if it wasn't saving them to the SIM card, it shouldn't affect your ability to receive them. |
Re: Sim card memory is full
I have been deleting contacts from the Sim card yet i still get this message? wtf, i guess i have to just delete all my old text messages unfortunately, on every phone ive had i kept all my texts just for memory and shit
god cant wait til this contract is up in March gonna say so long blackberry! Is there anyway to delete large quantities of text messages so i dont have to do them individually? Has BB ever addressed their memory issues? |
Re: Sim card memory is full
Highlight the date bar - menu - delete prior
and yes, with newer models. |

The method to delete multiple messages at one time has been addressed in these forums and in the FAQ hundreds of times. Pretty simple to search and see how. |
Re: Sim card memory is full
Why store anything on a SIM card nowadays?
Full disclosure, I boycotted dumb phones, went straight to BlackBerry, and have only used BlackBerrys. And I don't know about memory problems. Only problem I had was when 64MB eventually became too limiting, but that's far in the past now. I don't get it sometimes. Posted via BlackBerryForums.com Mobile |

This is a SOFTWARE SETTING issue, not an issue with the phone itself. The last time I saw this problem, I was using my first GSM Blackberry and the device had been set to save my contacts and text messages to my SIM. I migrated them all to the device, deleting them from the SIM and I am STILL using that same SIM card almost 9 years later. What "memory issue" are you referring to? Be specific. I've never had a memory problem (though all of my Blackberries save my current Torch have been "memory limited" in terms of the total amount of space available for apps the like) but I use my BB for its intended purpose: as a phone, e-mail and PIM device. Not for gaming or apps. So the rather conservative amount of memory RIM furnished them with was never a concern. |

And not to mention you are only given 32 MB for apps, and the memory drains away by itself without installing anything new And now the BB saving text messages to my SIM card even though in the setting it says not to I mean the Bold is a good phone, i like it, but there are just too many little issues with it that irks me, not to mention the internet is terrible |

Re: Sim card memory is full
I have about 32 left over after the OS is loaded. Maybe that's what he means. I love my 9000, but there are days...

Re: Sim card memory is full
The Bold 9000 has 128MB of app memory. This is a fact. It uses that memory for the OS and applications.

And 2nd of all, even if it was 128 MB, that is still nothing. 128 MB is literally nothing |
Re: Sim card memory is full
As said the OS and applications use that memory to install, they also use that memory to run.
That's why it changes, because an application will use that memory to run, and you will gain it back once that application is closed. Or after a battery pull. And yes, relatively its nothing, but its more than enough for a slightly shrinked OS and a good few apps. But that isn't and has never been your issue. |
