    All

    Girlfriend just got a new nokia 6111, when she puts her sim into the new phone, none of the text messages which are on the sim appear. Her old phone is a nokia 3220, i also tried and had the same outcome, i have a nokia 6230i.

    any idea why this is happening or is the 6111 just a faulty phone?

    any suggestions appreciated.....

    Could be that the allocated memory for messages is smaller in the 6111..Ok try..use Nokia content copier from the disk that came with your 6230i and buy a data cable its a dku 2 9should work with both models) and copy everything over...Depending on the version of pc suite you have .but should do it ..wortha try

    make a back up of your own while your at it... handy for if you lose it or just for when you buy a new phone...

    Only about 25 messages can be stored on the SIM. It seems kinda random though. Far as I know, it's only some inbox messages. No outbox, sent items etc go over.

    Generally if you copy the messages into saved messages then they will be stored on the sim.
