6600 sim error

[amaru007]

lately i'm getting a messge on my 6600
"not enough memory to recieve SIM messages. delete some data first."
i have about 3mb on the phone free, and 110mb on the mmc free. i've deleted the cache for the wap browser and checked every where for any reference to SIM messages.

any help

SIM memeory has nothin to do with the phone memory,

to go to SIM messages:
1) Go to Messages
2) Options
3) SIM messages ( choice number 2 )

when you get there delete some ( all is recommended ) the messages you find.

Ur phone has three main parts:
1) Phone Memory
2) MMC
3) SIM

If a problem persists in one part, treating the other wont help you; so formating the phone will only treat the phone memory and it will not come any near the SIM. So we want to know where does the problem exist.

try another sim card in your phone and do the steps I told u about in my last post. IF there the problem was gone then ur SIM is corrupted and the only one who'd help you is your wireless provider. IF the problem still exists then the problem is with your phone, and to treat the phone the only way I know is sorry to tell you *#7370# .

tried my sim in another phone.
it had 10 msgs, 6 from hotmail ( which i was wondering where they were)
and 3 unreadable.
tried another sim in the 6600, got same errors.
also noticed that i couldent send sms either.

ah well gonna try formating the phone now
wish me luck!
