Ive never deleted any on my N95 since i have had it.

My first message was from My Nokia on the 21/6/08 when I first got the phone which is due an upgrade next month.

Speaking of voicemail but, on 3UK you can login to 3mail and download your voicemails

Very handy sometimes especially when my m8s girlfriend rang me and blurted a load of bull in anger - good backup evidence sometimes

I reset my call log and SMS messages on the 11th of every month, as that is the day my new month kicks-in

Why do you save all the SMS on your phones, I read them then delete or pass the jokes on and then delete

Text messages are delete as soon as they are read. I can't see the point in keeping any of them! Jokes are done once you know the punchline.
If something needs a reply I usually phone it through. So outgoing texts are not saved either.

I keep the last 11 or 12 text messages and then when I get a new text message the oldest text message on my phone is deleted.

I never delete messages.. When I had my N95 8GB there was somewhere in the region of 2800 messages on there. I got an iPhone a few weeks back to replace the Nokia, and can't see me deleting anything off that either!

To be honest, im not really sure, i just don't like deleting them, and it can be quite funny looking back on some of them, so if you can store them, why not

I got my Blackberry in May this year and when I checked last week there were over 13,000 text messages in it! That does include outgoing texts. I was shocked!

I delete mine when my phone tells me I'm running out of room.

I have an W300i, a couple of years old, but still does me.

I have a mass deletion every week or two because there's no reason to keep texts unless they're significant. Why keep messages that say things like :-

Mauve one?
Not open Weds
That was funny when he did
60 watt

Thinking about it, I was influenced by the days of tiny hard drives and floppies in computers and the real need for regular housekeeping, otherwise you quickly ran out of space.

Well, do a bit of arithmetic. Even worst case of 160 characters per message, approx. 6 messages per kb, 6000 per mb, 6 million per gb, so about 200 million for 32gb - I don't think you''re going to fill that in a hurry
