    Hey folks,
    Just a quick question. I'm going to be changing my mam from Three to Virgin mobile and just wondering, once the old sim is deactivated, is it still possible to access the sms messages that are stored on it? She had been using an old nokia phone so no way to use an app to back them up, but she wants them all saved.

    The sooner I change her over the better as she's out of credit on three and I think virgin close the phone lines at 20:00 this evening, but I need time to figure out how to get her sms, which I'll have plenty of as long as they are still accessible once the sim is deactivated.

    Any help appreciated :)

    No you will need to back em up or forward them somehwere for later..Depending on how old the Nokia is they may stay on the device itself,there is options on some of the old nokia devices to save on sim or device.
