Limit on number of text messages stored?

I have a Lumia 520. Is there a limit of the number of text messages that can be stored on this device (other than memory)?  

Thank you for the responses but I fear that my question is misunderstood.
The original question was -- does anyone know if there is a limit of how many messages can be stored on a 520?
Now, the reason for the question.  
Let's say, for this purpose, the phone can store 500 messages. Now, if i get more than 500, earlier ones would be deleted if it works like other phones. No problem, we say, because the phone backs them up. so, if i have 1000 messages, 500 are on the phone, but all 1000 are in SkyDrive (somewhere). 
Here comes the issue. In this scenario, if I restore my phone I can only restore 500 of the 1000 messages, because that is all the phone can store!  And, because I cannot see them, in SkyDrive, the other 500 are, pretty much unrecoverable.  
This is why I wanted to know what the phone's limit is. 
Cheers

  • Call back number in text messages

    How do I turn off the call back number in text messages? This is an extremely annoying feature that I don't want on my phone, how do I turn it off?

        Hey dkmiotek!
    I know that including that signature in each message can be a bit of a nuisance so allow me to help you out today!
    If you go into your messages, please click on the 3 small at the bottom corner. This will bring up a menu and you can click into settings. In there, you will see signature. Here you can simply turn it off, or put in whatever you'd like instead. I hope this helps!
    Thanks!

  • Text messages stored as numbers instead of names

    I just got the new 4s iPhone.  When I text with people with the new 4s iPhone (through iMessage), the phone shows their number in the text message area, instead of their name, even though they are stored in my contacts.  I tried adding the iPhone number to their contact info, but it's still showing up as a number.  I also tried erasing the contact and adding it again and this didn't work either.

    Hi
    I have just solved this problem on my phone by rebooting it!!!! 
    I hope it works for you too!

  • How do I add an area code to a phone number after clicking number in text message?

    Some people send 7 digit phone number in emails and text messages, and I need to add the area code to the front of the number, or else AT&T will choke. I have not found a simple way to do this.
    Current method: copy number to notes, add area code, then paste full number into dialer

    Any carrier in the U.S. will choke unless the number is in your area code.
    I'm not aware of a way to do this. Selecting the number dials the number.

  • 3230 - preset number for text messages

    Hope someone can help, I have had previous nokia phones and set them up so that when i send a text message it automatically puts the number i want to send it to in the relevant box (i mainly text one person).....i cant see the means to do this on the 3230.....any ideas or am i missing the obvious?

    Enter the number in your Contacts using any name, or perhaps just a single chracter like 'z'.
    Then in Messaging when you are in the To: -field, do a long press of the '#' key to switch the text entry mode from numeric (123) to text (abc).
    Now you can just enter the 'z' character and hit the green/send key.

  • + sign in front of phone number in text messages

    I've had a + sign show up in front of two phone numbers in my text message list; these were old texts that I had saved and I seem to remember a more recent number having the same thing happen. None of these were messages from contacts in my phone. What does this mean?

    It seems that if you don't have a contact for a phone number, it will be listed in the international format which starts with a "+" sign - I just checked my iPhone 5 and it has the same situation.

  • If imessage is not activated with my phone number, does text messages can be forwarded to my ipad?

    Hi, uttam_june15.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I am not sure if you are unable to activate iMessage or that your phone number is not registering with iMessage.  However, here are the troubleshooting articles that cover both scenarios.

  • HT5760 Can I enter a phone number to text message?

    I want to send a group text but using only phone numbers.  Can this be done and if so, how do I separate each phone number.

    when you leave a space the os should recognize this as a new number or destination. Please note that if not all of your contacts in your group have imessenger (iphone or ipod or ipad) they will not be able to reply to everyone, you will receive a message back as a solo message from the person. but the other people in the group will not see their response.

  • TS2755 With the new IOS7 how do i tell which phone number my text messaging is being sent to? on the old system the number used to be highlighted, now nothing is highlighted and i have ended up sending texts to my friends international numbers instead ???

    With IOS7 I am finding it impossible to (a) tell which number I am texting, when my contacts have multiple phone numbers, i dont know wether it si their home , monile/cell or international number... How do i differnetiate or know which number it is, especially when they text me from abrioad and i replying ...its not very clear adn has cost me extra in international charges

    Thanks Michael. Apologies for the slow reply I was away for a bit (holiday blitz at work and visiting family madness etc.etc.) back now, I set both options you requested to "never " and retried the CMS software with no change. 
    I do have progress of a sort though, as a test I took a separate test PC and put a clean install of Win7 on and loaded up the CMS software (it worked perfectly) and then took the version of ole32.dll off that machine and put it onto the computer I had built
    for her (using Linux) and...
    got a new error code. Darn I was so sure I had found a clever solution this time lol.
    Anyway now when the CMS fails it gives me a similar error but the offending module is "ntdll.dll" sooo... I tried taking the "working" version of ntdll.dll from the test box and moving it over (making sure to back up the existing ones
    first so I could put them back if needed) to her new PC and the PC would not boot. 
    It seems to want the original versions of a few Dynamic Link Libraries and if I could somehow give it those while not breaking Win7 it should theoretically work seeing as it no longer errors with ole32.dll. 
    ntdll.dll however seems necessary for Win7 to boot.
    So what I am wondering now is:
    Is there some way to have both versions of the DLL file in the system32 folder (bypassing the "cannot have two files with the exact same name in the same folder" thing) or rename the original DLL's something else and somehow make the CMS look for
    the new named versions so the system has the updated DLL's it needs to boot/run and the CMS has the old ones it wants to run or is there someway to have a self contained install of the CMS, say on a USB flash drive and give it it's own E:/windows/system32/needed
    dll's  path to the files it needs? 
    Willing to try any other options or settings you may have come up with as well.
    Thanks again for your reply and my apologies for not answering sooner.

  • Stored text messages on SIMM card

    OK, here's a question.  Are text messages stored on the phones SIMM card even after they are deleted on the screen?  And, if so, how can they either be retrieved or permanently deleted?
    Hmmmmm.  I guess that's really two questions but does anyone know the answers?  (Oops...THREE questions!!)

    Suzy,
    You are correct in that the Sim Card in the various smartphones from Verizon only store telephone numbers for dialing overseas.  The Sim cards that come with the various Blackberry devices such as the Bold or Tour are not even needed unless you were going to use the device connecting to GSM carriers overseas.  So, you are correct.  No information is stored on the Sim card, unless the user copies a telephone number to the card.

  • How can I print out stored text messages from an LG enV3?!

    My mother is on my phone plan, she has a LG enV®3 and has some text messages stored on her phone she would like printed out. I was told by the in-store salesman that this was something I could do here online. But I have yet to find a link that is providing that service. I need them as soon as possible as she is finally looking to upgrade to a new phone, but I can't find this mysterious link. As you may know the LG enV®3 is not a smartphone so I cannot use a messaging app to remove the texts. If anyone has information or knows how I could do this you'd help me greatly.

  • Problem with Text Messages

    Hi,
    I have a 5530 XpressMusic phone with around 4000+ text messages saved on the memory card.
    Whenever the number of text messages increases above approximately 3500+ messages, the new text message alert stops appearing, no tone or vibration alerts. Even delivery reports refuse to appear. 
    Nokia PC Suite (Latest version) has a lot of trouble displaying those texts as well (So that I could backup the data) and nothing appears in Communication Center.
    I had the exact same problem with the older N70 ME and had to delete texts to get back to normal. Its going to be very cumbersome to go through all those messages and pick and prune to a size that the phone/Suite can handle.
    I have the latest firmware. Any help with this? 

    ok this isn't any help sorry,but can't find anywhere to post a new thread,so this is the closest post i've found so hopefully i can get some help here :robotmad:
       when i have "backed up" my messages from the phone to my memory card AND picked my memory card as the place where my messages are stored,i put the memory card into my pc to browse the memory card i cannot find anything on there relating to the back up or my messages,i've gone through all the folders i can see,even the empty ones(btw do i need keep the empty folders or can i delete them),now this is really "bugging" me as my little lad sent me a merry christmas text message so i wanted to do the above action so i could save the message on my pc as a keeps sake
             hope you guys can help
              thanx a lot
