Do you keep SMS in your cellphone for a long time?

Some days back i had 1000+ messages in my inbox. I don't delete messages regularly unless if i think someone should not read it. Few days back i thought of deleting all and did. Have a nice day

No, I deleted the older ones. I also delete sms that is not important. I keep the inspirational sms from my friends. They are nice quotes and sayings.

I only have a basic Nokia my friend so the memory can get filled up quite quickly, so I have to regularly delete messages to make room for others, I do keep a few but most I will delete. It doesn't bother me because I only really use the mobile infrequently or for emergencies.

I do keep my SMS for long time as soon as i have memory to keep it but when the memory is short and message is needed to be deleted than i have to delete it and some times when the message are not interesting i use to delete them. I do keep message as it shows how many friends are there who really misses you and also after how many days they have missed you. It's a very good way of communicating today in India and there are many free sites being developed to send free message to your family and friends.

Yes I do keep SMS for long period of time specially if its a sweet message from my boyfriend or about business or inquiries. I store nice quotes also for inspiration. For nonsense messages I delete it right away.

Hi youless! I am doing the same thing as you do dear friend! I just like to keep those beautiful messages from people I like and delete unimportant ones right away. Take care and have a great day! lovelots..faith

My inbox holds about 250 SMS as does my sentbox, so I tend to keep the texts until my inbox/sentbox is full and then delete them all. Therefore I tend to delete everything off my phone at least once a week. I don't have a hoarding personality, so I do not keep things just because I think they are nice. They make me smile at the time, but if I kept them and kept reading it over and over again it would just become insincere and meaningless.

Hi there youless. I usually delete all sms that are not from my girlfriend but at times, as you also mentioned i like to keep some of them ( for example the ones i get for Christmas or Easter) for a few weeks, and later delete them). At the moment i am trying to keep only the most interesting messages from my girl but it is getting hard, as i have so many from her that i like that my memory is almost full.

I Use Nokia N70 Mobile and I Stor My All SMS On Memory Card and ragularly Backup it and Store it on My Mail Box

Hi, I have a habit of saving wishes and some good SMS. I will directly move those messages to saved messages. But whenever i see some junk SMS, i will delete it immediately.

yes, especially from loved ones, holiday greetings, birthday greetings, and nice quotes. though i have to delete some when the inbox is full. when i receive casual texts, i delete them after replying. i just keep those that were previously mentioned. i also keep love messages from my boyfriend

nope. normally, after i read the messages being sent to me i will erase it right away. i don't want clutter in my inbox, unless the message is very important.

each sms remind me with something so its good to keep them i think its some kind like pictures not really but its cool i think

me? someitmes i do... but most of the time.. ideleted it right away!

I do keep SMS that are very good for a longer period of time. Sometimes I get good SMS everyday from some of my good friends. My mobile phone doesn't have the provision of storing lots and lots of SMS. So I keep all the SMS that are precious to me and delete other SMS that are not important to me. I also keep the SMS that are send by the people who I like very much.

I am just the same as you...

ha ha ha ha ha... I have this terrible habit of not deleting any messages. I will view it and then close it. And when I run out of memory, I have no choice but to remove them. Then the nightmare begins as I have to sift through months, sometimes even years of messages to get rid of the unwanted messages. Yeah, if the message is a good one, I usually will keep them around a little longer.

same, i store those i like the most..like friends who sends quotations..love quotes, friendly quotes or funny ones..those that i don't like or messages that aren't nice and important to me i delete them

I have my blackberry set up so that it deletes messages every 15 days, including emails... If someone sends me a important text message, I'll forward it to my email address & once every 2 - 3 days, I'll download all the emails to my computer so that I have back ups for the important messages... I do go through emails on my computer ever month & delete old ones that aren't importnat anymore...

yes i will keep the sms for a long time when it is come from lovely once and i will also keep the sms that i like most and i will delete some sms which is just by saying good morning and good night
