I accidentally copied a few useless texts to my SIM card. How do I delete them from the SIM card? I tried going into SIM Management via Contacts to no avail.
Thanks, in advance!

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.

I have some text messages on my phone, but they were saved on the sim card. When I popped the SIM into my wizard, it wont show those messages on the sim. I went to sim manager but it was empty.

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)
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?

hi everybody,
i was using dcs v14 until today and sometimes git the message:
"SIM card full. The SIM card is full. You must remove some messages from your SIM card to receive incoming SIM messages."
i didnt recieve a sms until i deleted a sms and so some sms got lost.
there is no way to set up that i do not want to use SIM card for those matters...
today i've changed to OS 1.22. i used PIM Backup. set up up my mail account and git this damn message again..
can anyone pls help me?
thanks a lot

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.
I just upgraded from myt3g (didn't have sim contacts problem), before that some crap phone I forgot. But on my new sensation, My SIM contacts are present (duplicates of what I have in my gmail contacts) and I'd like to delete them. I hold down and click delete but that doesn't work. I go to the delete menu and select all the ones that are SIM and delete, but that doesn't work either.
Any way to delete SIM contacts?
So if you go into your contacts, press the menu button, and select view, you should be able to uncheck the sim option which should remove them from your list. Have you tried that yet?
Is it possible that they got synced to you're google account when you initialized the phone right when you got it? Or the person helping you set it up did it for you?
Delete Sims contacts
On Sensation
Goto Contacts app
hit menu > view > uncheck all, leaving only sim contacts checked > done
hit menu > delete > select ones you want to delete or select all > delete
back > view > recheck contacts you want displayed (google)
I've installed many sim contact apps. None of them worked! Thanks
Sorry, you can't delete SIM contacts as far as I know. If you try deleting them it will show a deleting progress bar but nothing happens. You can delete contacts from other sources however.
I took my sim out, borrowed someone else's regular phone and deleted it from there.
Really retarded how you can't even ignore the sim contacts.

Yes you can delete your SIM contacts. If you do not know how to do a simple thing doesn't mean it can't be done.
use this https://market.android.com/details?id=com.happydroid.c2s&feature=search_result
just put the sim in other foon and delete the contact there

Don't you think I already did that? I wrote earlier and explicitly said that it didn't work. I did exactly as you quoted. I even told you there was a progress bar that showed it was being "deleted." And like I mentioned it did nothing.
I moved my sim to another phone and it deleted it just fine. I could however, delete contacts from other sources, just not the SIM sources. Maybe you modified your phone to do stuff differently, my phone is a rooted stock ROM.

I have done this in 3 different HTC mobiles out of the box when I bought them with stock ROM and not rooted so if you still can not do it maybe there is something wrong with your phone and you should check it.

This is just stupid. Why isn't there a simple setting for this ??????
With the different apps you can choose to move/copy contacts to SIM and delete contacts from SIM etc. But why not a default
"Show only contacts from"
-SIM
-Phone
-SIM & Phone
-Whatever
and NO, there is no "View" setting on my phone
Anyone got a tip on an app that can actually do what I want ? Which is to show only the contacts which are on the phone and only the ones that I choose ?

I don't want to move or copy or delete anything. I just want to hide it on the phone.
SIM card deletion
I had the same problem with my HTC Sensation.
1. Remove the back cover (Do not remove battery)
2. Gently move your SIM card around to improve connection
3. Try to remove contacts again.
Hope this helps!
I have a message on my phone that says that my SIM card is full and I need to clear out messages. Downloaded a SIM card contacts app to view what I have on it and it indicated my SIM card is empty. I also deleted all of my text messages, rebooted the device, cleaned off the card (physically), etc following instructions from multiple threads there. No dice.
Any idea what this thing's problem is?

I don't have any. Do I just go to the store of my carrier and request they set me up with a new one?

Yup, I had an old Sim, and when I bought this phone I had to get a new one.

Your sim card if full because you've been saving your contacts to your sim card and you shouldn't have done that you should be saving your contacts in you Gmail account you need to delete the contacts from sim and uncheck back up contacts to sim and check gmail account so you will always have your contacts even if you get another Android device
