reading sms from sim card with 8525/tytn or similar? - General Topics

text/mms retrieval (text messages stored on the sim card w/the 8525)
here's a question i've yet to ever see asked...
i had my sim card in a device that does not support MMS (my c139) and i receive notification of an incoming MMS. i see a noninterpreted message containing "application/vnd.wap.mms-message" on the c139's message window. this initial MMS notification message is stored on the sim card along with a few other text messages i received - the c139 does not store messages internally.
i've now moved the sim card back into my 8525, which is capable of receiving MMS. here is where i can't figure out what to do...so i've got two questions.
1. is there a way to access the messages stored on the sim card from the 8525, similar to viewing contact stored on the sim card? i know the messages are still there, because moving the card back to the c139 shows them again...and putting a different sim card in the c139 shows different stored text messages.
2. assuming there is a way to view the sim card stored messages on the 8525, is there a way to now retrieve the attached content of the MMS i received? i tried forwarding the message from my c139 to myself, immediately turning off the phone & swapping the sim card to the 8525...but when the message came OTA on the 8525, it was just the forwarded text w/no indication there was any MMS payload.
ideas?

i'm cross posting this from my post in the cingular customer forums, as i think the question may be better addressed here.
thanks in advance for any insight!

Also, if you have / install an AKU3 ROM (currently available for the Wizard, Universal and the Alpine), you'll be able to directly access your messages from inside Messaging.
Heres the SIM Messages v0.04b zip, works great on my magician (WM2003SE)

Re: SIM card is full ??!? pls help
just go to your text messages inbox and scroll down until you see an icon indication showing that message is on your SIM card, open the message, and then click MENU -> Save to Phone. This will copy that message to your phone's memory, then you have to go back and delete the original message which is stored on your SIM card. Do this untill you see no messages with "stored on SIM" icon. Only then you will get rid of "The sim card is full you must remove some messages" error notification...
good luck! Alex.

SMS goes on the SIM instead than on the phone :-(

I have a Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional phone (e-Ten Glofiish M800).
I always received SMS without problems until some days ago.
Now my SMS always arrive with hours of delay and, even more strangely, are stored on the SIM, no more on the phone. Even the icon on the left of the phone number in the inbox list of messages is different (it shows a SIM instead of an open envelope).
The problem, other than the delay, is that when I receive more than 10 new messages it says that it can't receive any more SMS because the SIM is full! until I delete some of these SMS or manually move them to the phone
How can I set to store the SMS in the phone as it always did?! why is it storing them on the SIM? how can I troubleshoot this problem?
PS: I have plenty of free storage on my phone and many SMS in my SMS inbox.

While in messaging, Press Menu button>Settings then select Manage SIM Card Messages
Thanks so much! This is my first smartphone, so I appreciate the fact even the most elementary questions (read: my dumb question) are answered.

I had a message popping up saying "SIM card full, delete messages". I would click on this message, and it would open the standard messaging app called: Messaging. I kept going through and deleting all my SIM messages (unknowingly using the Messaging app at this time) and then it would automatically refresh, only to show me all the exact same SIM messages, not deleted.
Textra was set as my default messaging app.
To resolve this issue and finally delete all my SIM messages, I had to activate the de-activated Messaging app, click on settings->manage SIM messages->select all the messages and delete them. This finally refreshed to show no more SIM messages. I then re-activated Textra and everything was back to normal.
How do I retrieve a message that I moved to a secure box of my HTC desire android
