She has tried deleting some messages off it, but it still pops up. Is there anything else she can do with it. She doesn't use email or Internet on it. Cheers, LL	lakewoodlady (103)

Deleting the text messages is what will have made the difference. Clearing out any old contacts that are no longer required could help too. There are different capacity SIMs, if it becomes and issue it might be possible to get one with more storage on it. Most phones will let you copy contacts off the SIM and into the phone, that might be a solution as well. You'd need to delet them off the SIM afterwards of course and it's a bit inconvenient if you change phones later.	dugimodo (138)
