Samsung F480, "text memory full"

blue powder

So I have a memory card on here which is like 500mb, but when I get a certain amount of messages on my phone, i get a warning popping up at me all the time saying "SMS memory full, Delete some SMS". Now I looked at the memory status for text messages (the other types of message memory are empty) and it tells me that it's only 370/500 full on the phone and 50/50 on the sim card. so what the fuck, guys?

also why is it that it only has a 550 memory capacity? is there any way of fixing this.. my older and less able phone could hold over 1000.

I'm basically hoping someone out there has this phone and has experienced and overcome this problem.

Reduced capacity is probably due to more space reserved for the applications on the phone.

it looks like your phone should have a memory card slot, whether or not you can save sms to the card depends on the phone, which is to say I've had phones that could phones that can't.
the number of messages your phone can hold is going to be based on the internal memory available and to that end I think Fyrewulff is probably right on the ball..

matt has a problem

Yeah, the texts are stored on the internal memory by default, since I don't know the phone I couldn't say whether or not you can switch the directory to the memory card.
