Deleting Messages - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

So I deleted all my messages in my inbox, however a few remain. There is the sim card icon next to them so I assume they are saved to the sim. I select them and click move to phone. But they still stay there. Is there some way to clear the sim or just clear these messages?!

Have not been able to duplicate your issue, but go to System/Tools and open SIM manager and there are all the interface tools to take care of items stored to SIM, like IM, email and contacts. You can see everything that is stored on the SIM card and move, edit or delete them.
Hope this helps,

Your problem was answered above. The move to phone option only copies the message, it doesn't delete it or 'move' the message as the dialogue suggests.

Duplicate contact problem to do with SIM Manager...

Please help me if you can. This problem has nothing to do with ActiveSync.
I transferred all contacts from my SIM Card to my Xda IIs without a problem - at first - but then I had to put my SIM Card back into my old phone, as there remained about 20 contacts in my old phone memory. So, I deleted 20 contacts from my SIM card memory, transferred the remaining 20 contacts from my old phone to my SIM card, then copied all my contacts to my Xda IIs again.
The problem is that all contacts but the 20 old ones, and the 20 new ones which replaced them, now have duplicate entries.
I was surprised that SIM Manager would not recognize the existing entries rather than add the same number twice. I would call this a significant bug. I have thought about trying again, but I don't want to end up with contacts in triplicate!
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Found my own solution, albeit a potentially dangerous one:
Installed SKTools, which located all duplicates in no time at all. However, SKTools will not automatically delete the duplicate entry; one must select which contact of each pair to delete, one by one. This would not have made my task any easier but for that I still had these particular contacts on my SIM Card, so I toggled to select all duplicates and deleted both entries for each duplicate, which left me with only 40 or so contacts on my Xda IIs of the hundreds I had had originally. Then, using SIM Manager, I selected all contacts from my SIM card and copied to my phone contacts list.

Check out Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool. It has an option to not show the SIM card entries in Contacts.
hide sim cab
Like Dr. P mentions often, this is one of the cab I keep on my storage card

Need help - Missing SMS messaging

I recently received my Verizon TP2 and noticed that I dont have sms/mms messaging on the phone. I was able to add email accounts to the phone but I dont see text messages in the account picker or the drop down box if I am in an email account. Any thoughts on how I can restore it without hard resetting the phone?
Thanks
on your previous phone...were you using the same micro sd card that you now have in the tp2? if so... with the file explorer, delete your old email inbox folder off your sd card.. i know that sounds strange but i had a similar instance where my sms messaging dissappeared off my phone and conflicting email folders was the cause... hope this is your problem and fix!
I already did a hard reset. But just to be safe I erased my old inbox folders on my storage card.
Thanks

directing me to wrong contact list

Someone called me, and I didn't have that number, I wanted to save it to existing contact, but when I clicked on save to existing contact, none of my sim contacts appeared. There wasn't a way to get to it either. I load all my contacts directly from my sim. Is there a way to move sim contacts to phone? or save current number to existing sim contact?
any good app to manage and sync phone contacts?

[Q] duplicate contacts

hey people, few days ago when i am using my phone, i realised some contacts has 2 entries and some has 3 similar entries. so i delete them one by one and thought that will be the end of the problem.
after that, i never use my phone to sms. but today when i look through the 'People' application, all my contacts got duplicated. and when i try to delete one of it, it ended up deleting both of them. i never sync to any places, including gmail at all.
can anyone help me with this problem?
I believe some of them are from facebook contact and some of them are contacts stored in your simcard...
This annoyed me too. So I took the pain to delete all my contacts stored in my simcard.
Give it a try.

hmm. i already choose do not sync from facebook already. if i delete all my contacts from simcard, i need to add them 1 by 1 back? cause right nw when i delete 1, both will be deleted
One is "call mobile" and another one is "sent message"?
A screenshot may be helpful...
Another good way is, if you still have your old phone with you (with all your contacts in it), then delete all the contacts in this new phone, including the simcard.
Then select "set up", i.e., the icon looks like a magician's hat, select send from my old phone from there...
its back to normal again...
all i did was take out my sim card and put it back to my old phone to copy the contacts into the mem card there. after i placed my sim card back to my desire hd, the total number of contacts go back to normal and all the duplicated contacts has disappeared.
this is strange
I found that even having facebook contacts sync disabled I was still getting this problem. I had to stop using the facebook facility built into sense and only use the facebook app but that seemed to work.
