Hi

Im looking for a new phone, but want it to have an sms counter which is already built in. Because I have the sim only deal from o2 where you get 1000 texts, and dont want to go over.lol.

Please list the phones which have them.

    sony ericcson z600, t610 and k700i all have sms counters.

    BUT if you send a double or triple length msg it only registers as 1 msg sent.

    My Nokia 3220 also has a message counter, counting the number of outgoing, as well as incoming, messages.

    As well as Nokia 3510i, 6230 & 6230i. There may be more Nokia but they're the only ones I know for sure.

    But as mentioned by BrightonLad, I can't be sure it counts then accurately if you send a double or triple length msgs.

    menu-call register-message counter
    if its not there you may have older phone s/w
    you can get it upgraded for free if its less than a year old at a nokia repair center (tell them the phone locks up sometimes or something)
