Whats this SMS message mean

Dear Group, i've only had the quickest of looks at my new Wizard cos its a xmas prezzy lol. Anyways, just to check it works i put my SIM from my mobile fone into it and sent myself a SMS message. Sure enough it worked, only a message popped up saying that it was full and i need to delete some messages (or words to that effect)
But from where? I find it a wee bit confusing to tell the truth. On my mobile i can save about 20 texts to the SIM and 200 to the phone memory, can i do the same thing with my Wizard?
The SIM that i put in has texts saved to it, but how would i access them in the Wizard.
And, while i hopefully have your attention, is there anyway to save texts from different contacts into different folders? And even better, is there a way to filter them out automagically?
All help gratefully received

Touch HD SMS Threading Limit?

There's one friend who I text regularly, and I'm not sure how many messages I have from her, but today something strange happened.
I received a message from her and it looked like it came from a different number because it started a new thread. Then I realised there wasn't another thread, and for a moment I thought I'd lost all the messages. But then I noticed they still appear on the TouchFlo.
When I tap any message from her before the first message of the new thread, it opens the message in the old style (i.e. as if threading is switched off).
I thought maybe I'd accidentally moved all the messages. But they don't appear in any other folder, and they are definitely in my inbox, which I confirmed with Jeyo Mobile Companion.
So, shall I just continue with the new thread and ignore the last messages? Is there definitely a limit? Is there any other threading software?
I have never heard anything like this before.

Haven't heard or experienced anything like this. Usually you have a max limit of approx 50 sms in your inbox (not conversations with someone using threaded sms, but actual sms from diffrerent people), but it shouldn't behave like yours.
I'm assuming this female is (very) close to you and you do not want to delete previous sms? I would delete them and use new thread and see if same thing happens
Hi there, just by habit I never delete any of the threaded text messages to and from my girlfriend, and so there must be over well 2000 in the conversation.
The same thing happened to me once, I just assumed there was a limit on a conversation size, and so it started a new one. It's a shame how it deals with the old one though, stopping the threading. I sync'ed all the old messages using Microsoft myphone and deleted it, just leaving the new thread.
Access old thread?

This exact thing has just happened to me, also texting the girlfriend ... She has told me things that i have probably agreed to and since forgoten, is there any way to look at the old thread as the touch flow only allows me to go back 25 messages from all contacts. They must still be there as some of them are still in the 25 touch flow messages, unless it has its own cache?
FYI my best estimate would be some where in the region of 1000 - 1500 sms, double that with replies so is there a thread limit of 2500 or 3000?
Any ideas?
SMS limit
Exactly same happened to me this morning...I am using the HTC 6.1 WWE Rom on my ATT tilt.
No thread of older sms but they are in my inbox (confirmed by disabling the threaded sms). Mine too have 3000+ sms on my tilt.
Do any one get the fix/work arond for the sam to see the older sms in threaded form.

Blackberry Users Have Trouble with My SMS

Just wondering if anyone else has been told by a friend that your text messages make their Blackberry act up.
I had a friend with a Blackberry Storm tell me that sometimes he can't open my texts a while back. I didn't think anything of it until today when my two friends that have Blackberry Curves told me the same thing happens to them, and it's only my text messages they have trouble with....
My gf has a curve 8520 but she gets all of my txt's just fine.. what exactly are your friends having trouble with, sms, mms?
All three just said they have trouble opening some of my SMS. They have trouble opening the messages.
All of them say they just use the search function to find my most recent message and open it that way, but it won't open directly through the messaging application.
my gf had a bolt 9700 and my sister a curve 8900, both don't have probs with my text messages, no probs with MMS either
Tell your friends to get a real phone, problem solved. jk, kinda. What messaging app are you using to send the messages, stock, handcent, chomp? Have you tried mixing it up to see if any have a different result?

[Q] SMS Merge

Hello, got my Htc desire z last night and wanted to transfer my sms messages from my old touch pro onto it. Finally managed to get that done but the inbox and sent messages from my contacts appear individually listed and not merged in one screen as on the touch pro.
So i can see everything i have sent, and everything i have received but in different threads from the same contact.
Any ideas on how this can be merged? I did a search and found someone a while back with this problem but there was no solution.
Can anyone help please?

[Q] Moving old text messages to my G2

Hello all,
I have some texts that are sitting on my old phone (Verizon Thunderbolt, rooted) that I have kept for whatever odd reason (mostly for information that I never got around to saving into contacts). I would like to transfer these so that they show up on my new phone (G2, also rooted and Verizon), just as they did before, like normal, old text messages.
What's the best way to do this?
Thanks!

Personally I use SMS Backup+ to backup all my SMS to my gmail account, and then I use it to restore the newest 200 on my new phone. It doesn't restore MMS messages, but they are in my gmail under a label of SMS.
SMS Backup & Restore is my favorite (but you will have to copy the file from the old phone to the new phone manually).
