Mobile Phone/Sim Card Trouble

Sylvester

Hi

My mobile phone packed in on Sunday, so bought a very basic cheap replacement (£2.99 after discounts etc) so that I could access my SIM card (both Virgin Mobile phones)

I've put my SIM card into the new phone and it will read some things but can't find my SMS messages sent or received.

Are the messages therefore on the other phone and not directly on the SIM? I'm not very technical i'm afraid, so that may sounds silly.

Thanks for any help

Sims sent/received will be stored on your old phone. Not the simcard. Only the cheap/old phones use the simcard memory to store messages, the new phones use their own internal memory.

Thanks.

I've just purchased another battery for the old phone, quite cheap, so will see if that's the problem when it arrives. I'm not overly concerned re: SMS messages, but it's good to know for the future.

Thanks again.
