How to get SMS messages from the SIM card to MDA 2 ?

Hello,
sometimes, in a "rough environment", I use my old Nokia 6110 instead of MDA2. Is there any way how to get the SMS messages received in the Nokia (and supposedly stored on the SIM) from the SIM to the MDA2 ?
Thanks a lot for an advice !!

i've never heard about phones being able to store sms's on the sim
pretty sure that all i've heard about use the phone for that
so if moving the sim from a phone which supposed to support it
and putting in another which also is suppsed to support it would prove if it does or dont
if only one brand of phones support it at all i doubt it's a feature which many people long too much for on the any other brand of phone or pda out there

Rudegar: SIMS normally come with space for up to 20 SMS messages.
Some phones will store them locally, the good-old-fashioned way is SIM based.
xvylp01: The only way that I know to transfer them is via a PC - Nokia
PC Suite to get them there and activesync back again. Of course, they
will then no longer be SMS messaes, but you should be able to save them
as notes, or similar, so that you can access them

cannot access sms's stored on sim card

hi, ever since i bought my qtek 2020, i realize that i cannot access my messages stored on my sim card, unless i put my sim in another phone. in fact, there's no way to know that there are any messages stored on the sim. i have gone through several hard resets, and even a rom upgrade, but problem still persists, please help

i'm pretty sure it's not supported by 2003 phone edition
not sure if they have plans to make support for it ever
not even sure if the ms smartphones support it

well,
then can you suggest a way to transfer them to my qtek 2020 inbox?

well you could put the sim in another phone and forward sms them to your self and recieve them on your xda with the sim in

Business Cards - Orange SPVM3100

Hi all,
I have an SPV M3100 and have just discovered my boss has been sending me business cards (by text) from his mobile - and I have not received them, not even a text message.
I have searched the forums and can only find reference to an app which scans printed business cards using the camera.
I am pretty sure I have received business cards on my old Vario (.vcf format?) but the SPVM3100 doesnt do anything - not even a text!
He is using a Nokia N70, also on Orange.
Any thoughts?

Hi Markee,
I've just done some testing with an N70, RAZR and my M3100 on Orange and another N70 on T-Mobile.
None of the devices on Orange can receive a business card although they all send OK and return a delivery report but nothing is received!!!
If I send from any device to the N70 on T-Mobile it is recieved every time so it looks like it's an Orange SMSC to Phone issue!!! might be worth calling their service desk on this.
Gav.

Thanks Gavin!
Will get onto Orange.....

C500 Unable to Send SMS

I recently upgraded my Tytn to a Tytn II and received a new sim with it.
I use my C500 for work (as it gets bashed about) and it worked 100% with the old sim I had.
I tried it with the new sim expecting it to work, everything works except I am unable to send text messages. If I go into phone settings, the SMS center number is blank and if I input the number, it doesn't save. The sim works 100% with the Tytn II.
If I put my old sim in the C500 it doesn't connect to the network as it's been disabled, but the SMS center number IS in the correct box.
Does anyone know of a way to rectify this problem? I've been onto orange tech. support and they were most unhelpful and suggested I use my Tytn II for work, they did try sending sim updates, but that didn't work.
Cheers

Me too...its the bug of WM6
i thought that my network does this sh**....but now!!!!
OK just restart UR phone

It's not WM6, i did have WM2003 but I upgrade to WM5 and Wm6 to see if they would sort it.... it didn't.
I've got onto orange again and they're looking into it apparently.

Did you ever get anywhere with this? I too want to use my old C500 for work but I can't send SMS.
Cheers,
Warey

Yeah, after weeks and weeks of orange trying to sort it there end, they sent me out a new sim card and that sorted it. I did register the new sim in the C500 just incase it was that.

Help needed using Orange Sim in XDA Mini S

I have two XDA Mini S phones, which I believe are fully unlocked. I am able to use a Vodaphone sim in them and everything works perfect. When I put my works Orange sim in them the phone works i.e. I can make and receive calls but the Sim Manager does not work. Which means I cannot access the contacts on the sim card or use the options menu to configure the phone. When I try to access the options menu I get the message " the phone is not ready, please wait 15 seconds and try again"
Has anyone else had this problem and gotten over or around it. I have spoken to both o2 and Orange and they are both an absolute waste of time. I would appreciate all the help I can get. Thanks.

Hi,
I am on orange too, also had the same trouble. I could make and receive calls, but could not access sim card to add contacts or send / receive texts. The XDA mini is a 2G phone, my orange sim is was a 3G. When I changed it for my wifes 2G orange sim, all worked perfectly, so we just swapped sims and phone numbers. Tried to get a 2G sim out of orange on my contratc, they were having none of it, said I would have to go PAYG. So I did the swap with the wife and extended the contract.
Hope that helps.

Thanks for your advice Mlkey.
Following your response I contacted Orange and changed my works contract 3G sim for a 2G sim on contract. This still does not work and as usual I am getting no real help from Orange.
Looks like the only solution will be to change my mobile / pda, that is, unless anyone else has any other possible fix.
Are PAYG sim's different than contract sim's ??, if they are does anyone know if I were to get a PAYG sim that worked in my XDA would I be able to get my company number transfered to that sim and convert the sim from PAYG on to my works contract account ???.
I would appreciate all the help / advice I can get, before this drives me mad !!!

XDa wizard and Orange sim only
Hi,
I'm having exactly the same problem! O2 to Orange sim only and completely no SMS. Orange support is argueably the worst. Interseting to here that it's version. ie G4/G4..Have read somwhere that VOip SMS maybe the solution? ...If i can find the thread again I'll post a link.
Cheers
Eamonn

Fixed this problem by using the t-mobile 2.26 rom as described in "Definitive Guide to unblocking and rom upgrading g3 wizards

I am having exactly the same problem. My phone is a G4 and I believe it to be fully unlocked from o2. According to orange my sim is a G2 sim because the 7th number of the sim card begins with a 2 and not a 3. I cant even try a different rom because I can't connect to my computer with active sync through usb or bluetooth this has been for about a year now.I usually transfer files through a card reader. Can anybody help me because the deal with orange is really good but the phone is useless without sms or mms and I really dont want to change the phone.
