Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / UK Group / July 20073310 SMS capacity?
Hi All, The missus has her old-n-trusty 3310 but has mentioned that it can only seem to store a few (5?) messages. She generally deletes them as soon as she reads them but there are a couple of special ones on there at the moment she would like to keep (for a while anyway). Is this right for a phone of this age or is it down to the SIM or summat else please? All the best .. T i m > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Is this right for a phone of this age or is it down to > the SIM or summat else please? The 3310 has no onboard SMS storage. It's down to the SIM, most early ones will store up to 10. Ivor >> Hi All, >> [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] > > Ivor Yeah, around 10, depends on if they are single, double or triple length.

Thanks guys, So, she's on a fairly old 1-2-1 PAYG SIM and mine's even older but in a 6310i and I get loads, so in my case are they stored on the phone *as well* ? What could she do about getting a later SIM please (can she keep the same number etc)? If she was to get a later SIM for the same phone how many more could it store? If not 'not that many' what would be the next very basic (chunky, easy to read) phone up that has reasonable SMS storage please? All the best ..

She could port her T-Mobile number over. >> So, she's on a fairly old 1-2-1 PAYG SIM and mine's even older but in >> a 6310i and I get loads, so in my case are they stored on the phone [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >A Virgin Mobile sim will hold 20 standard text messages.

Just phone customer services and ask for a new one. They'll send one with the same number/credit/account details etc. Just make sure that any contacts saved on the sim are transfered to the phone memory on a phone and then transfered to the new sim. As the 3310 can only save contacts to the sim then enevitably there will be some. >new T-Mobile SIMs also hold 20. and 230 contacts compared with 90ish. >Just phone customer services and ask for a new one.

Only 1 sim can be active on your account at once- They may disconnect the one you have now and send the replacement which will be active or they may send an inactive one that you have to ring up to activate. Either way it wont affect your phone number or credit. They just have to type the new sim number in and that will be associated with your account. The old one will be disconnected. A message "SIM card registration failed" or simular will appear when you turn the phone on with it in. This is as the SIM number won't be linked to an account on their database and so wont "log on" to the network. Only 7 contacts! may be just as easy to make them as new! >> Even for PAYG and what happens to the old SIM please? > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] >This is as the SIM number won't be linked to an account on their >database and so wont "log on" to the network. Thanks James, I'll give em a ring .. >Only 7 contacts! may be just as easy to make them as new! Indeed, that's on 'her' phone of course ... just those numbers she may call regularly and the rest are in a paper address book (remember them) ;-) All the best .. T i m |
