Text message memory almost full

Pub07

I have a Sony Ericsson w610i and it's started giving me the "text messages are 95% full" crap. There is over 520MB of free memory between the phone itself and the memory stick, is there any way of setting the text message facility to make use of this memory?

Maybe your sent items folder is full? You might need to delete these. Might be something to do with how the memory is allocated on that phone and only so much of the physical memory being allocated towards messaging.

If you google it, yes there is.

The reason they put a limit is because the more messages you're storing, the more work your phone has to do. I remember reading a forum post (googled it) from some guy who'd done it, who then said that after a couple of weeks, he had a few thousand messages in his inbox and the phone slowed to a crawl.

You're better off just dumping your messages when it gets to this stage.

If you want to keep them you can use the My Phone Explorer program to move the texts from a SE phone to a computer. You could then create a text file and copy them back to the m2 memory stick, if you wanted to.
