Nokia 6680: strange problem

RuggieBear

I'm over in england at the moment with my irish vodafone Nokia 6680. I'm recieving what i believe are advertising messages from the numbers 50140 and 87244.

Thing is the phone refuses to open these messages and just seems to crash back to the standby screen when i try to do anything to the messages.

I can't open them or delete them or get any options on them as the phone just reverts back to the normal standby screen. This is really annoying as now i have two permenantly unread messages in my inbox and the phone informs me of this constantly.

I can't see any way of deleting the entire inbox in one go either. is this possible?

Any ideas how to solve this problem or am i going to have to format the bloody thing.
Thanks

do a master reset for nokia

Menu -> Settings -> Restore factory settings

Than you've got to enter the security code (12345 by default).

Phonebook won't be delted

Thought so. Believe advertising messages are rife over here. Didn't think i'd be spammed with the **** tbh (being Irish vodafone and roaming) or that it would have such a crappy effect on my phone.

hey in inbox press mark all then simply delete its easy when ya know

If you leave Vodafone reception, you'll camp onto Orange, 02 or whatever's available. They'll send you a text to welcome you to their network.
