i have a sony ericsson k300i phone. i wanted to know is there any way i can save my text messeges on the phone memory so that my inbox doesnt get filled up?
thanx.

It should already store on the phone memory...
Problay your phone doesnt have a lot of storage for messages.
A sim card only has a 10-20 message storage.

To chceck do the following...
Go to menu > messages > Saved Messages.
See if they are all stored there

They probably are getting saved onto the phone (not SIM).

The phone wont use its regular memory for SMS. The regular memory is where pictures, sounds, etc are stored, measured in KB or MB.

SMS is in a separate store, with a maximum message amount allowed.

can i increase the maximum limit somehow, cos right now, i can store maximum of around 100 msgs, including ones in the sent folder and the ones in the saved folder.
and when i go to save msgs, i can save it only as a template or in the 'saved messages' folder, and no where else!

My phone (Sony Ericsson T630) can also store somewhere around 100 messages (i think that the SMS memory is somewhere at 1kb ... i think)

If you have a way to connect your phone with your computer (bluetooth, data cable, infrared) then you should download floAt's Mobile Agent (works only for SE phones) where you can do various things with your phone, including downloading your SMS to the computer, so you can delete them from your phone, and have a copy on your computer.

Yes but sim cards also have to hold contacts. So some of the memory is used up there.

a sim wid 512 mb of memory......damn! where did u read that, i mean whats the source?
damn...guess hutch will make me change from airtel!
anyway, can i save the msgs somewhere else on my phone, is there any such option?
and another thing, how do i access system settings on my phone? i read on some forum u have to press certain keys on the joystick, but that just opens the shortcuts i have set.

Here
I no thats amazing

These are the keys to press. It will open a shortcut when you start entering it, but keep entering the rest of the code and it will work.

right, star, left, left, star, left, star

There is nothing useful in there though, perhaps the coolest thing is the screen test pattern.

The message limit on your phone is set because otherwise the phone cant handle a huge amount of messages. The K750 has been hacked to raise the message limit, but opening folders takes much longer, and having too many messages will just crash the phone. I don't know of such a hack for K300 anyway.

Yer I no that it's just to test stuff. I didnt think it was relevent though.
You should also add it needs to be on the normal screen not on the menu
I do now that the older phones don't have as much text storage.

the secret menu (which it's called) does not help with file storage it simply tells you what model your phone is ur screen config etc.
It is to test your phone but it has nothing to do with file storage.
I have known about this since I was bout 9 and I loved it to show my friends but then it got boring

Ok, I know for a fact that a vodafone 64Kb simcard can hold up to a maximum 20 messages, and my phone (panasonic VS2) can hold 500 msgs by itself., the only way i can think of around this is just to delete older ones fairly soon after receiving

i finally decided to transfer the msgs to my computer and then delete, although i would have been happy with a better solution..but still its okay. thanx for all the replys guys.
