SMS mailbox full

I just got this message as well, except it said it was full and no more messages would be received because its full

I thought it was unlimited amount or related to the iphone size
 
Unlimited amount wouldn't make any sense because your iPhone can only hold so many gigs. I'm just surprised that someone could fill it up. :D
 
If you like re-reading your old texts so much, get PhoneView. You can save them as a PDF and whatever else you want. I personally never reached that limit yet, and I send more around 10k texts almost every month.

The current limit is 90,000. Its limited by the iPhone's ability to load and maintain a SQL database that keeps all the messages.

Irrelevant. I, like most people, enjoy re-reading old texts on my phone. It is good to reminisce on-the-fly in this fashion. There is no reason that these should ever max out.

...kind of OT, but what kind of deep and meaningful conversations do you have via text that could possibly be "reminisceable"?

OP... you couldn't possibly... :eek:
 
I'm curious, is there any way yet to see a total sms count (sent, recieved, total) on an unjailbroken iPhone?
 
I remember this, the original iPhone had a crazy 1,000 message limit, which most people hit in less than a month, including me. Then they upped it to 75,000 and apparently 90,000 now. I have kept "mostly" all my messages going back to my original iPhone and have yet to hit any limit again... I'd imagine I have to be getting close though, I do a minimum of 5k a month.

the worst part is that you can't select texts to delete. its either a whole conversation has to go or stay. grrr.

You don't know how to use your phone then because you can TOTALLY select the texts you wanna delete, just press edit and check off the ones you
wanna delete then press delete..

I didn't own an iPhone when this thread was created, but someone else could confirm or deny, maybe you couldn't delete individual messages on the original iPhone or at least the early version of iOS.

You could have simply informed them instead of telling them what they "don't know how" to do in a sarcastic manner.

You couldn't do selective deleting with the original iphone.

Uhhh....back in 2007 when that statement was made, you couldn't do that. Nowadays you can.

PS - I still don't think I've sent 11,000 texts total since I first commented in this thread almost 4 years ago. I can't imagine doing that per month.

You don't know how to read then, when that was posted 3 years ago, that functionality didn't exist in iOS.
