cant receive message, always says that sim card message is full

Hello guys, Uhm...when i receive an sms, there is always a notification says that my sim card message is full although I’ve deleted all the messages it still the same. Anyone knows why? Should I do a factory reset?
Please help T_____________T
 
Hey babyhun301.

Is this with the default messaging app or an app from the market?

And how old is your sim card? If you have too many contacts i know with some sims with certain carriers they store contacts on it.

Well to be honest I didn't fully understand which one of the below 2 problems you have so I will reply on both:

1) Sim card is full (referring to number of contacts) Go to Contacts->Menu button-> Import/Export-> Import from Simcard. After this is completed go to Contacts->Menu button->Scroll down->Contacts to Display-> Phone.

2) If for some weird reason your SMS's are being saved on the sim card go to Messages->Menu button-> Settings -> Manage sim card messages.

I am 95% sure that you have the 1st problem. By "default" all your messages must be stored on the internal memory of the phone, which is practically impossible to fill with SMS. When you receive a new SMS the phone checks your Sim cards availability for contacts and pop-ups the error.

If those don't help, try backing up the info from your mobile to the PC and do a factory reset, if this doesn't help call your mobile operator and ask "WTF"!

If this helped you please press the thanks button.
 
OK, I have to ask. Why didn't you just call your carrier's tech support? I know people on here are very helpful but when something is stopping you from functioning, it seems like picking up the phone is a lot faster than coming on here and waiting for a response, let alone a correct response. Of course, there is the chance you could get "Peggy" on the line - NOT good :D
