I've recently upgraded from a Nokia 3330 to a BlueAngel and moved my SIM card across. I can see all my old contacts fine, but not the text messages. Is there a utility I can download to let me view the old texts?
I have the same question. Help us, plz
nope
text msges are stored in phon memory and will lost if you change phone or let batt run out completely
Hello everyone!
After looking through the forum and only finding threads about contacts, I decided to create a thread about my problem.
So here it goes:
Yesterday, I gave my old HTC Desire to my gf. She had a rather old and run-down Nokia and her SMS were saved to her SIM-Card.
I looked through the options of the phone, running CM9, but only found the option to delete the messages.
Is it possible to copy them to the phone?
If it is, how?
Thanks in advance!
I don't think this is possible - my Desire can't see any 'saved to sim' messages, which is a shame as I've a new sim and really want the old messages. Anyone with any luck with this? Even an adb pull/ command would do me - how do I access the sim?
try open the sms app then press menu then settings and look there. on my phone theres an option to manage sms on sim card, maybe u can move them there.

I'm blind. Or rather, I was blind! Completely missed that option. Works as it says on the tin, thanks!
lol good to know it works, i couldnt try coz iv no sms on my sim card
Sent from my HTC Desire
On my Android phone, there are only view/delete options in the SIM-card SMS management.
I can not move/copy the SMS from SIM card to new Android phone.
Is there any android app for this purpose ??
Pansi SMS... My MIUI messaging app didn't have the option to copy/move the messages from SIM to Phone Memory so I referred to my favorite messaging app, Pansi, yes it has this option

yes, @munchi 's answer is one of the apps.
try other sms apps. just search the net or playstore for other sms apps then check if it can copy sim messages to phone memory. sometimes stock sms has it, but other times you just need a different app that has that function.
There's handcent sms, go sms etc. , though i dont know if these have the function to copy sim messages. Theres also the "SIM manager" app in playstore by robotobia that can do that specific purpose and much more. Note that it doesn't work on all phones yet, but you may go check it out
I just tried robotobia's app on my galaxy Y. It can copy. But what should be classified as inbox, it became a sent message. I will contact the developer about this problem. So far, the only thing I find it useful for is to delete all sim messages in a flash. So i suggest finding a good sms app with this feature is still safer.
Hope this helps
Hello everyone,
I'm on the current AOKP Milestone (4.2.2) on a maguro (GSM version)
I have to switch between two sim cards from two different countries and I cannot send SMS from one of them (just reports an error without any further info "SMS could not be sent."). Which is really bad for me since I have to activate my data and minute plans by sms.
Tried this:

Still can't send sms.
Tried changing the SIM Card's messaging center on an old phone, still cannot send sms.
Is there any other way of changing the messaging center? Or is there at least a way to verify which one my phone is currently using?
Thanks a lot guys
What written there really is the solution. Putting the right number on SMSC field and clicking Update solved it for me.
Are you sure you put the correct number in and did a restart to make sure? Try googleing "<your carrier> SMSC" to find the number.
If nothing helps including trying on another phone, why not call the carrier for support?
Sorry for the late reply. I put the SIM card in an older phone and it gave me an error message saying it was a network error. Since it's a new SIM card that's possible so I'll have to contact the provider.
Yesterday a friend of mine ran out of battery on his iphone and put his sim card into my nexus and again it wasn't able to send sms. So he used another friend's iPhone and everything was fine. What's wrong there? SMS seems to be a difficult task for our nexus... or on android in general
My sim contacts wouldnt automatically show, so basically i wouldnt see the name of the person whos texting me. Its really annoying. I still have to go to contacts every now and then to "load" it up or worse turn on and off my phone and go to contacts again. It should automatically load up right? But why? -_- Any help?
Copy the sim contacts to Phone.
Hey guys,
i have a strange issue, and didnt find a solution.
Somehow, when i receive messages , it is being sent to messenger and to SIM card.
when the sim card reaches 100 limit, i receive a warning message.
i didnt choose it to send to my sim card, and cannot find the option to change anything.
i must each time to delete one by one the messages in order to keep receiving new SMS.
any solution?
