Wildfire - Giff Gaff - Not receiving texts

The title sums it up really. My son has an HTC Wildfire and a Giff Gaff SIM.
He hasn't received any texts since May 17 although he can send them and they are delivered.
We tried his SIM in an old Nokia and I sent him a text which was delivered immediately, so it's obviously a problem with the phone. Does anyone have any ideas what might be wrong?
He can send OK, can call OK and was receiving texts until May 16.
I'm stumped and have told him to try a factory re-set of the phone but he'll lose his apps, so we'll do this as a last resort.
Help!

OK, so I solved this.
The phone's memory was full. Son deleted a few hundred texts and the eBay app and the problem was solved."If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur." -- Red Adair0
