Nokia 7100 and old SMS messages on SIM card

Dear all,
I just bought my wife the Nokia 7100 and she very happy with it. One strange thing with this phone is that it does not recognize the old SMS messages that are still on the SIM card. Is there a way to make them visible and copy them to the phone?
Thanks for your help
Patrick

i do not believe so, current sim card do not store any text messages unless they are service messages, i suggest that you update your sim card as it appears to be well into age in technology years. you can try to acess sim card messages in the messaging folder and select the option to copy messages into phone memory or memory card if such option exists but again im not sure that there is such opiton. if you do have the sim message option, select left side option key scroll down to copy and you just might be able to copy it to the inbox. let us know what happens.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

I wanted to know how to unlock my iphone, since I had to restore it and when it restarted, it appeared this message: "The SIM card que you currently have installed in this iphone is from a carrier that is not supported under the Currently actuvation policy that is assigned by the server activion. this is not a hardware issue with the iPhone. Please insert another SIM card from a supported carrier or request que this iphone be unlocked by your carrier. Please contact Apple for more information. "
I need help, I use my phone for everything enclusive to work. I appreciate if you can help. I'm from Brazil. My name and giullia.

Did you purchase this device from Apple or an authorized reseller? It sounds as if you had a device that was jailbroken/hacked to operate on your carrier. Upon updating the iOS, it is now locked back to the original carrier the device was locked to.
Only the carrier the device is locked to can authorize an unlock. You will need to make contact with that carrier and see if they provide unlocking services, and if they do, if you qualify for an unlock. Otherwise, you are out of luck. One that carrier can take care of the unlocking.

The process is as follows:
Backup the phone, Erase it, connect to iTunes for the unlock process, then your iProfile can be restored.
You can go ahead and get the SIM, bout you have to Erase the phone and connect to iTunes before it will be unlocked.

Try popping out the SIM card and turn off the phone.
Pop in the SIM card once again and turn on the phone, make sure that the SIM card is placed and seated perfectly in the tray!
Tell me how did you unlock your phone!?

I want to use an old iphone as an itouch and don't have the sim card anymore (cut it to fit into 4G) and I just updated to the new software.... How do I reload the phone with apps and music?

You'll need to get a SIM card. It can be an old one.

Send and Receive SMS messages from US to South Kor...

I want to be able to receive and send SMS messages from my skype to my friend's cell phone in Korea
When I send it they receive it, but they can't respond it back to me because it is an international text.
Is there anyway that I can buy a Korean online number when I'm living in US?
and with that number will I be able to talk and send/receive messages with my friend?

@ sberman -Hi-I have my settings as you described and I do have a text msg. plan with At&T. I'm still puzzled, however; I had the same plan with he former phone-the ancient 3Gs and with it, I was able to send/receive text, photos, etc. to non-Iphone users via WiFi as long as I was home and within distance of the connection. I did not have to have my cell data "on" in order to send/receive anything. Everything transmitted through WiFi-and did not impact my charges or cell data limits.. I know I must use the cell data ON when I'm away, but don't understand why/how I can't do the same as before I upgraded to the 5c. Admittedly, I am certainly NOT in the stratospheric league as so many phone experts here-I do make the attempt to understand, though..
I read on one of the numerous help/answer sites that apparently someone else had registered the same complaint with Apple and now has a pending lawsuit-and hoping to get class-action status on the issue. I'm fairly sure this is the same-although I cannot be 100% certain given my lack of expertise.
I certainly appreciate your rapid response-as a newbie to these communities, I didn't expect any answers to my questions so quickly.Thanks for taking the time to post-have a great weekend.

How do i see my sms' on the sim card?

hello,
i just bought a nokia 7020 today. i've got some important sms on my sim card, however, the message box seems to be empty. i can see the messages on the sim when i check them with my previous phone. (samsung) how can i see my messages on my sim card and is there any way to copy them to the phone?
thank you.

Messaging -> Options -> SIM messages
You will have to copy them to the phone memory in order to read them (the options will be to copy or to delete).
Hope this helps

Nokia 3110c does not save contacts on SIM card

Hello,
I just bought a nokia 3110c. It apparently have the most recent uptodate software (05.50) and the update check says it is up-to-date.
I found this strange bug:
I create a new contact in the address book and save it into my SIM card (a 128KB sim card by Italian provider TIM).
The contact is there.
Now when I turn off the phone, and then I turn it on again, the last contact I inserted is gone, disappeared.
It happens only with the LAST contact I saved, that is if I create -lets say- 3 new contacts, the first 2 will be maintained while the last one will be lost after I turn off and then on again the phone.
It behaves the same also if I first save the contact into the phone memory and the MOVE it into the SIM card memory.
Have you verified this same bug?
Thank you

negative, it happens WHATEVER method you use to add the new contact

Bought 'Unlocked' iPhone 4s and it won't recognize sim card. Any help?

Had an iPhone 4 but screen broke so I sent it out for repair but it couldn't be fixed so ordered an unlocked white iphone 4s from a third party site called 'TradeAnythingUk'. I kept my sim card so I could put it in this phone it came through the post today and during setup it has told me this error message :
'The sim card in this iPhone does not appear to be supported, Onlly compatible sims from a supported carrier may be used to activate iPhone. Please insrt the sim that came with your iPhone or visit a supported carriers store to receive a replacement sim card'
I looked at a few forums and thought I'd try restoring the phone and re installing the software this hasn't changed anything
Is this a pure case of the phone not actually being unlocked or is there any more to this problem
I am with Orange network by the way and I am in the UK.

Apparently you didn't get an iPhone that was officially unlocked, but rather one that either wasn't unlocked at all (and you were flat lied to) or that was hacked to unlock it. Restoring would have removed any such hack in most cases.
Only the carrier to whom the iPhone is locked can authorize an unlock, and most carriers will not unless you have service with them. I'd suggest you go back to the unauthorized reseller from whom you purchased this iPhone for redress, since they didn't sell you what they apparently claimed. It's quite possible, though, that you may have to chalk this up as a learning experience, swallow the loss, and buy another iPhone from an authorized source.
Just so you know, unless your old iPhone was in pieces or jailbroken, Apple would have replaced it for £119 if you had taken it to an Apple Store.
Regards.

Saving an SMS to a SIM Card

I went on the BB site to find out how to now save an SMS to a SIM card on my new BB Z10 and found this: http://docs.blackberry.com/en/smartphone_users/deliverables/47561/mwa1340200505520.jsp
However, these instructions do not work as the option "Leave Messages On SIM Card" does not appear. Is it just my phone or is this the case for all Z10 users?
There is no option to forward or save an SMS, and I really need to do this. Otherwise, is their a reliable app to export the SMS?
I ask because I downloaded and installed a Contact App (Contact X) that seems to have completely messed up my phone and I'll have to wipe and start up again. But before doing so, I absolutely need to find a way to archive some SMS.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
K.

I, too, do not have that option on my Z10. It could be that the article was written before an updated version of OS was released then was not updated to reflect the new OS.
Cheers.

I get a message no sim card, yet my sim card is in phone. I restarted it, no change. Any ideas?

Anyone know how to fix a sim card issue? My iPhone gives me a message "No sim card" - yet the sim card is in phone. I restarted the iPhone, no change.

Try to "clean" the sim and put it again into the phone.

Is there a way to use old iphones without a sim card

Yes but if it needs activating first then a Sim card must be inserted just during the activation process
and can then be removed
