I'm not sure, but maybe they somehow got saved to the sim card? There's a little sim icon next to these 2 pesky messages that are weeks old, that even after deleting, come back after a reset or startup.
Click on the message, then move to phone. Then delete that message.
I figured this out just today.
great, thanks!
Not so great. I clicked on the messages, selected MOVE TO PHONE, then deleted them. They still came back.

Hi,
Sorry if this has been posted before; I couldn't find the answer...
I had some text messages on my SIM in the 'drafts' folder and they showed up on the TF3D messages screen. I deleted them from within the TF3D interface, but when I restart my HD the drafts reapear. I can't find them from in the WinMo messages part and when I punt my SIM in an other device, the drafts are gone too.
This means (I guess) that they are cached somewhere by TF3D, but I can't seem to find something to help me.
Greets!
LOL finally somebody who has the same problem as me. I took a sim card from my Blackberry to my Touch Diamond, which had that problem, then my HD, which has the same problem with the same 3 messages.
It's messages with only numbers in them...
They return on soft reset because winmo won't really delete them, only their representation on the phone memory for some stupid reason.
They are stored in your SIM card. Delete all messages from your SIM card using the old phone you used, then re insert in your HD.
That should do the trick.
I already tried that and the (old) phone couldn't find my messages. Since it worked for you, I retried with another old phone and that one did show the messages and I was able to delete them. Thanks!
hi all,
i have a very strange sms bug.
every time i get a new sms text message i get 2 messages in my inbox.
1. i get the actual message that was just send to me.
2. i get another message that is stored on my sim ( if i look in my inbox, there is a SIM icon in front of the message).
This 2nd message also shows up at first in TF3D and is on top of my list in my inbox. very annoying !!
the strange thing is that the 2nd sms is a message that i once sended to a friend of mine, somehow that message is stored somewhere on my SIM and comes in my inbox everytime a get a new message.
i tried a few things, but they didn't help:
- delete it from my inbox and then from removed items; keeps coming back.
- choose "Inmediatly" by "clear removed items" in the message options menu; still the message is coming back.
the message must be stored on the sim, because that message was send from my old phone. and the only thing my old phone and my blackstone have in common is the same simcard.
so i need to know how i can delete this SMS text message from my sim card, at least i think that will solve the problem..
hope someone can tell me how, because its very annoying to delete this message over and over again because it always shows first.
I'm going to bump this thread up because I have the same issue/question.
little kick up..
Same issue here, bumping..
had the same thing when i got my HD a few months ago, after deleting such messages a hundred times they suddenly where gone... :-\
maybe you have another phone around to check if you can delete old messages stored on your sim?
greetz
Same problem here...
same here... any sim guru around?....
i got the same problem since i have my htc, the only thing that realy worked for me is this
efficasoft.com/mobileexpress/index.html (Efficasoft Mobile Express)
its a software, that can save your sms on your pc, and directly delete it from your sim
.. but sometimes my htc gets stuck, and i have to reset it, but yeah its an easy way to save & delete all sms
you could also try ms myphone in combination with pimbackup. afaik myphone only syncs sms on the phone itself, but with pimbackup you can use the delete all feature, maybe that would wipe the sim as well, then you'd sync with myphone again, and since wiping pim information with pimbackup appears as an unplanned deleting, you will get your regular sms back thru syncing with myphone.
another idea would be: try another phone, a cheap or old one, that only uses sim sms and delete all sms there. if that doesn't help, there is something wrong with your network or sim card
I had the same problem as anyone of you. But after deleting it from my inbox at least 4-5 times, it suddenly disappears.
for whatever reason, the first four text messages i received upon using my tmo HD2 for the first time were saved to the sim. i can delete them and not see them while my phone is on, but upon rebooting, they come back! how do i delete them? i've searched and can't find much of anything.
thanks!
I have the same problem. Can't find a fix anywere.

i wonder why it stopped at four, though. after the fourth, all messages stopped being saved to the sim and it hasn't happened since. i haven't changed anything so i'm terribly confused!
So far, what I can suggest is for you guys to load the SIM card into any 3G/HSDPA modem client. This client will show the SMS contents in the SIM card. You can then delete them from this client.
what is 3G/HSDPA modem client?
bump this up, still need help!
anyone? anyone at all?
happened to me on AT&T when we went to DST a few months back. I don't even have a clue on how to save SMS with the HTC messaging client let alone how to delete it. After a few days the messages would disappear complete and all order has been restored.

I'm having the same problem man..I even called t-mobile "htc hd2 experts", but all they did is the same thing as what everyone else on this topic is doing lol...
I have the same problem here :-(
I have a message saved on my sim card that I can't delete either. It's annoying. Anyone found a solution to this? Is there a way to browse the sim from the file explorer?
bump. also have this problem
I try to found a solution, but I just has been reading about delete them from a SIM Card USB reader :-(
you gotta transfer your sim card to a different phone and delete the msgs there. thats what i did and it worked. I used a sony ericcson k800 phone to do it. Im not sure if theres a certain phone to transfer to but im guessing a non HD2 phone? haha

Finally I can delete the messages. I put my SIM Card in other phone (BlackBerry) and delete the SMS from there and put back the SIM Card on my HTC HD2 and the messages was deleted!
bump
Same problem here. I can 'get around' it by putting the SIM card into another phone, but that is unacceptable as a long-term workaround. Some messages are delivered straight to the SIM, and having to swap the card once a week or more is not making me happy with the device.
Is there a 3rd parry software package that allows one to delete sms messages from the SIM?
Disable SMS copy to SIM
::bump::
Can we work on a patch to disable SMS copy to SIM?
That way when its accidentally copied we don't have to pull out the SIM to delete it on another device.
hey everyone, I've been lurking for quite some time now. Finally have something noteworthy to share. I had the same problem with SMS saved to my SIM...just go to your SIM manager...copy your SIM contacts onto your device...then delete the contacts left on your SIM. I then used PIM backup to store my contacts onto my SD card...just in case my phone goes to sh!t.
Same problem. Reported it to Tmo
They dont know balls.
I tried everything. Put Sim in another phone tried deleting the message but wouldnt work.
Even ordered a new sim card. Lasted about two weeks before the phantom voicemail/129 text started popping up again.
Text from 129 its part of the HD2 on TMO, accept it.
Every single time i reboot the phone, i get the "129" text msg with blank content. It has the little memory card symbol. I think i click save to memory card by accident one time. I tried clicking move to phone and delete it right after. It didn't work. anyone has a solulation?
Yea its a stock message preloaded on the memory card. Easiest way is to push and hold select "move to phone" then repeat and just delete it. Next time your phone boots it should be gone -Cheers
What I've seen has to do with that "129" message being saved on the SD card. Once I found it and deleted it, I stopped getting it on every reboot.

i'm still getting it!!!!
Took my sim card out and reboot. Still got the text msg.
Try popping your SIM into another phone that can read the text messages on the card, and delete it from there. Other members with the HD2 have reported having to do that to get it to stay deleted (the HD2 seems to have an issue with that).
The one time I called TMO support about 129 was a couple of years ago, on a $35 nokia pre paid phone. At the time they explained that it happens when a text message either doesn't immediately go/come through.
I get it occasionally on the HD2. I just delete it.
I delete the text msg and shut off the phone. Before turning it on, i remove the memory card but i still get the same text msg.
I just had this pop up when I upgraded to the T-Mobile 2.13 ROM. The way I permanently got rid of it was to delete it normally (from the Inbox) AND go to All Messages, select Deleted Messages, and delete it from the Deleted Messages.
It seems because it is a "system" message it gets stored to the SIM, and if you just delete it from the SMS inbox it comes back since it is still in the Deleted Messages folder, and the SIM must restore it after a reboot.
Deleting from both places made sure it was gone for good.

Yup it worked. thanks.
Now, do you know why swipe appears at the boot up screen? I have a password lock. Everytime it gets to inputing the password, the swipe thing on the bottom middle appears. any solution there?
I put Windows Phone 7 on my HD2 last week, and I swear while I was setting it all up there was an option to show or not show SIM messages when looking in Messaging.
However now I am using the phone regularly I can't find it any more! Every time I reboot the phone, the SIM messages are loaded higher up the list than my actual text messages which is really frustrating because it makes it hard to see my current conversations.
Does anyone know where the setting to stop it showing SIM messages is?
Thanks!

Try deleting one of them, and if it is not deleted from the sim, the check box might appear again on next reboot. Else delete what you don't need
Interesting that you can import messages from sim but not save to sim, how many messages are there?
i think what you've seen whilst setting up the phone was the message "import sim contacts now" and not sim sms... there's no setting about that in wp7 afaik
I think there are about 20 or so SIM messages. I deleted one and it went away, but didn't give me any more options to delete any others and the rest of the SIM messages are still there.
Obviously I could just delete them all but I find it annoying there is not the option to just hide them from the messaging view or something.
