Checking # of txt messages

This is probably explained somewhere, but I can't find it- where do you check how many txt messages you have done?

Another way is depending on your carrier, for example, with Verizon I can go to my phone key board and press #3282 send and it will send me a text message back with the number of texts i have used.
Not sure what other carriers do.

I am not getting all my txt messages when I look at settings- messages- send and receive my phone number is not checked... how can I change it?

I am not receiving all my txt messages, I think it is because in Setting -> messages -> send and receive, my cell phone number doesnt have a check next to hit. Im not able to check it. any ideas?

Old phone is off and number is fully ported? SIM card new and installed/seated properly? All Apple credentials disabled if coming from iPhone?

Curve 3G keeps deleting my txt messages..

Hello all
I have Curve 9300 3G, running on OS 6 (6.0.0.600, platform 6.6.0.223)
The device is automatically deleting my messages after few feeks, starting from the oldest (they last about 1 month than they are deleted..)
I have tried to look for an option of "how long to save messages" in the device and couldn't find any.... In the device manual it says and in the device Help\Search it sais the same:
home->messages->options-> Message Display and Actions , but this sub-category option doesn't appear on my device messages options (i googled it and also ppl said they can't find this option on their curve 3G...)
i have in option of messages this sub-categories:
General Text Messaging options, SMS Text, MMS and in none of them there is an option regarding how long to keep txt messages...
* Memory Cleaning is disabled
** Also in some searches in google ppl said free some memory. it is not the problem.. i have 70 MB free on the device and 7GB free in my memory card.. my BB is new.. only 2 month old
so where can i set the device settings regarding saving my messages?
Thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

if u read my post carfully u can see that i know that.. i wrote it in my post..
i have found out why i don't see this menu: Message Display and Actions, there is a bug in the OS 6 with my BB or just with curve 3G i don't know.. other people reportet my problem as well
when i go to options of messages it don't get this submenues:
Message Display and Actions
Inbox Management
Email account Managment
Spell Check
Text Messaging
after going to options of messages it goes straight to Text Messaging... and doesn't show thouse 5 sub-menues
and because of this bug i can't even find "Message Display and Actions" in the general search of the device..
the solution :
go to the call logs, then select one of the call logs and press on home button and select options
then u see the 5 sub-categories\menues with Message Display and Actions among them, go inside and there u can select the option of how long to keep messages
took me some time of playing with the device to find this crappy bug and find another way to get this Message Display and Actions..
hope it will helps other with this bug in the OS

After the latest update my phone shows I have a new TXT Message and there are NO TXT messages. How do I fix this?

After the latest update my phone shows I have a new TXT Message and there are NO TXT messages. How do I fix this? I have tried clearing the cache, I have tried the factory reset, I have no 3rd party messaging apps and have done noting different with my phone that I have been doing the last 6 months.

Hi Johnnybdamned!
I regret to learn of any issues after the software update. Let's check some things out on your phone! Does the text message say who it came from? Is it a contact you message on a regular basis? Are you using the messaging application that came with the device, or a 3rd party application?
I recommend deleting any unneeded messaging threads and then powering the device off/on. Keep me posted!

Recieving txt messages on both Iphones 4s

I have a Iphone 4s and my husband just got one. My txt messages are being sent to both of our phones. How do I turn his off for recieving my txt messages?

Hi 4theonix,
This is a very common issue when more than one Apple product exists in the home. Did the steps from gina7239 correct the trouble? If not please check if the devices are set up with the same Apple ID. Messaging with iMessages goes through the Apple ID and if both devices use the same one, then both devices will get the same messages. To get your husbands device with a different ID, please follow the steps on http://bit.ly/uBfksa and set it up as a new device. Please keep us posted.
Thank you,

Cannot send or receive photos via txt messages?!?

with my BB I was sending and receiving photos from all my children and other relatives. On my brand new Galaxy S4 no photos get sent or received. Any advice would be appreciated.

Sorry, I have no suggestions for you. I have sent many pics via txt message with no problems. You might check to see how large your pics are. There may be a limit on the size you can send by txt.

Txt messaging failed, is that okay?

im having problems sending txt messaging, my friends does not get the full txt i do not whats going on.. someone can help me please?

thanks guys... but i already checked with att and they changed the sin card too, before my friends got the txt but with codes now they get just any parts of the txt
Does your friend have issues with texts from anyone else? Might be worth them replacing their SIM card. Are they on AT&T as well?
Do you have problems sending texts to anyone else?

My txt message settings recently changed to send txts from my Mac email rather than my phone# and there doesn't seem to be a way to change the settings back. The phone# in receive at screen is under intensified so unselectable. Any suggestions?

After reading what you have posted, I checked my iPhone 4S. When looking at messages in settings, my receive at has 2 addresses, my phone number and my Apple ID email address. The phone number is "under intensified" as you describe it. Checking the Caller ID, it shows my phone number and Apple ID email. The phone number is checked. This all seems to be the same as you describe yours. My text messages are all working as they always have, and they are showing as coming from my phone number. Both to people that I iMessage with and people that I can only text with. I'm not sure why you say texts are being sent from your Mac email. Did someone receive a text that shows the email as the return address?

Samsung Convoy 3 - Is it possible to store txt message history on the memory card? - Always running out of txt storage space on my phone. I've never gotten close to being able to store 300 messages as indicated on pg 58 of the manual, so I must be missing

I might get 35 or 40 and then get storage limit warnings

A_Ohmstede,
I know it can be frustrating seeing that inbox get full and having to delete
stored messages. I do see in the Samsung manual where it advises that it
will store a maximum of 300 messages on the phone. The number may lower
if there are pictures messages and other things being stored on the device.
Have you checked your total Memory available in Settings and Tools? How much is
currently available? Please let us know these details and we may be able
to help further!

Cannot send txt messages from my iPhone to a android galaxy gear 3

My husband switched from an iPhone to a galaxy note three and kept his old cell number. Now he cannot receive texts from any other iPhones including mine.
Research on Internet indicates this is common issue when an iPhone user switches to an android device and keeps old number from iPhone! Problem does not happen with new android devices .any workable solution known? So far suggestions in forums have not helped. APPLE store personnel uninformed reissue,as well as Best Buy personnel.

Looks to me like the question has indeed been asked 500 times or more...but still looks to me like many still have unresolved solutions if they have more than one Apple device. I've been attempting to follow advice giving in forum conversations...still, no luck. I had turned off imessage on old IPHONE before, then unregistered my old iphone, but still can not get txt messages from any of my friends who have an iphone...not one. I do have several other Apple devices..an IMAC, an MAC BOOK PRO, an IPAD 2 and an IPAD3 still on my same Apple Account that my old phone was on. Is this now the problem

How do I use a MyVerizon ringtone I received in the form of a txt message? The long touch method on the media does not work, btw.

I purchased a ringtone on My Verizon via my computer. They sent me txt message with the media but I can't figure out how to save it as a ringtone. The long touch method doesn't work. It's not anywhere in my media files, and frankly I just joined verizon but they have proven a bit difficult. On thin ice already, this isn't helping.

Have you managed to save it to your phone? If so, download a file explorer app (like Estrongs file explorer) from the Play Store. Open up the file explorer app and navigate to the "Download" folder. Scroll through your downloads to locate the ringtone file. Select it and use the file explorer's copy or cut function to put the ringtone file in the clipboard. Back out of the "download" folder to the "sdcard" level. Then look for a "ringtones" folder. Select it to open it and view the contents. Using the file explorer, paste the ringtone file to that folder. Back out of the file explorer app. The ringtone will now be available in the "phone ringtone" selection list.

Spinning circle * Thunderbird is not responding when I try to write or access emails. I had attempted to delete a bunch of old txt messages in seldom used Gmail

I saw I had almost 30,000 txt messages on a Gmail account that I had created a gmail account for on Thunderbird. I didn't realize that they were going here from Gmail. I highlighted all of them and attempted to delete them. The spinning circle finally went away and all of them were gone. But when I tried to do anything else on Thunderbird with my regular email accounts (Comcast & Hotmail), I would get a spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. I had to use Ctrl Alt Del and then reopen. I tried compacting but this morning when I tried to write an email from one of my Comcast emails in Thunderbird, again I got the spinning circle and Thunderbird is not responding. In order to do anything, I have to close the program by hitting Crrl Alt Del and try again.
My Trash Local folders says 8300.
This morning, when I tried accessing Thunderbird at the bottom of the taskbar it said, "downloading....of 17,000 to All Mail. Had no clue what that meant. I let it continue until all were and thought my issue would be resolved. But no. :(
Something obviously got corrupted in the program. What do I need to do to fix this?
Thank you.
Fred

I have three iPhones using the same iTunes account, can we set something so that we are not all getting everyones txt messages to all phones?

I have three iPhones using the same iTunes account, can we set something so that all our txt messages are not appearing on all phones?

Settings > Messages > Receive At...
Any iPhone that lists the same email will receive the same texts. This has to be changed in order to stop receiving on all devices.

Lost all my photos and txt messages during last update- HELP PLEASE

During the last IPhone update my phone went into restore mode and when it recovered all my photos, videos, and txt messages were gone. I went to restore through old ITunes restore points, but they were gone too- all I have is one from 2011 and the one with nothing on it, and I have synced my phone hundreds of times since 2011. Is there anything I can do? I have a Mac, could I use Time Machine to go back to an old date, and possibly the ITunes restore points will be there? Any help will be much appreciated!!!

Did you fail to backup the device prior to attempting the update? If so, any content between the last backup and when the update apparently failed will be gone.
If the device has been used as designed, contact would be synced to a supported application on the computer or a cloud service. Simply sync them back.
Pictures and videos taken with the device are designed to be copied to a computer regularly. Only a fool would expect a device so easily lost/stolen or damaged to be sole storage of their "important" pictures.
