3310 SMS capacity?
|
|
|
| Hi All,
The missus has her old-n-trusty 3310 but has mentioned that it can
only seem to store a few (5?) messages.
She generally deletes them as soon as she reads them but there are a
couple of special ones on there at the moment she would like to keep
(for a while anyway).
Is this right for a phone of this age or is it down to the SIM or
summat else please?
All the best ..

The 3310 has no onboard SMS storage. It's down to the SIM, most early ones
will store up to 10.

Thanks guys,
So, she's on a fairly old 1-2-1 PAYG SIM and mine's even older but in
a 6310i and I get loads, so in my case are they stored on the phone
*as well* ?
What could she do about getting a later SIM please (can she keep the
same number etc)? If she was to get a later SIM for the same phone how
many more could it store? If not 'not that many' what would be the
next very basic (chunky, easy to read) phone up that has reasonable
SMS storage please?
All the best ..

A Virgin Mobile sim will hold 20 standard text messages. She could port
her T-Mobile number over.

new T-Mobile SIMs also hold 20. and 230 contacts compared with 90ish.
Just phone customer services and ask for a new one. They'll send one
with the same number/credit/account details etc. Just make sure that
any contacts saved on the sim are transfered to the phone memory on a
phone and then transfered to the new sim. As the 3310 can only save
contacts to the sim then enevitably there will be some.

Yes for all customers. Only 1 sim can be active on your account at
once- They may disconnect the one you have now and send the
replacement which will be active or they may send an inactive one that
you have to ring up to activate. Either way it wont affect your phone
number or credit. They just have to type the new sim number in and
that will be associated with your account.
The old one will be disconnected. A message "SIM card registration
failed" or simular will appear when you turn the phone on with it in.
This is as the SIM number won't be linked to an account on their
database and so wont "log on" to the network.
Only 7 contacts! may be just as easy to make them as new!

Indeed, that's on 'her' phone of course ... just those numbers she may
call regularly and the rest are in a paper address book (remember
them) ;-)
All the best ..
