picture deleted as text limit reached :(

Got the Razr maxx a few weeks ago and didnt realize the text message limit was set at 200 so a few pictures were deleted as a result. My old phone (samsung fascinate) automatically stored all pictures no matter where the text limit was set at. Kind of disappointed the Maxx didnt do the same:afraid:...So I guess the question is...I dont suppose theres anyway to retrieve the photos???
 
I don't think there's any way to get them back, but you could consider saving them somewhere and using drop box to sync the photos automatically.

Or protect the messages you want to save. I never had a "message limit" on my Droid X, but noticed it on my Maxx and set it to 999 (seems to be the highest you can go). I protect anything I don't want to accidentally delete, like photos or important texts.

There's really nothing else to say beyond this. Sound advice. If something's important to you, always save it somewhere (and preferably in more than one place).
