5530 flashing envelope icon

    this is a minor problem but irritating nonetheless - hope someone can help.

    just got a Nokia 5530 XpressMusic. Since I inserted my SIM an envelope has been flashing on the top right hand corner of the screen. when I touch it a note pops up 'SIM Memory Full'. Why is this? Fine - the SIM is full, I don't need a constant flashing reminder of this. any suggestions to remove it? There's nothing in the phone guidebook to direct me.

    thanks in advance ;)

    My only suggestion would be to clear the messages on the SIM.

    so even though there is nothing in any of the message folders on teh new phone I need to clear my SIM? Are messages stored on it from my old phone?? How do I clear them? thanks

    Not sure on that phone, sometimes they're stored in the "saved messages" folder? Sometimes there's a "SIM messages" folder too.

    yeh... all folders are empty. I was thinking that the Contacts was full but I don't have that many contacts..... I'll try and see if there is a 'go to SIM' function on the phone, cheers

    Try the "delete all messages" function and see if that clears it?

    This happens with new nokia's. You need to go into the message settings, and change where to save the messages, between the phone and sim. You might need to turn the phone off and reboot after you do this to get rid of the notification

    sorted! you were right - messages on the SIM. In the help guide on the phone it said go to Messages, then select Options, then 'view SIM messages'. There was only 36 of them and I was able to 'Mark all' and delete. Flashing envelope is gone. cheers

    Hi, same thing happened to me. In Messaging, hit options then open 'SIM messages'. If you delete some it'll hopefully stop flashing! My sim had messages on it from years ago! Obviously my previous phones didn't use the SIM memory.
