Why does my Doro PhoneEasy 508 keep saying SMS full when it's not?
My SIM has 100% memory status, and my phone 99.00% memory status, yet I keep getting message "SMS full". I have deleted everything I can except one message. What can I do? I get the message both when I use SIM and when I use phone memory

My Mum also gets this problem and it's most frustrating. We get around the issue by going into the settings, selecting messages and finding the 'delete all' function. As if my magic it clears everything and then shows 0% in the memory. Whilst this works it's a bit of a pain to keep remembering to do it occassionally but at least it gets around the problem. I've not yet managed to find out why the Doro 508 stores things in this way or how you can overcome the problem on a long term basis.
My dad suffers from this problem with his Doro, I found that this is caused by messages in the drafts folder on the SIM card, however there is no drafts folder on the Doro to empty! I have to take the SIM card out of the Doro and put into another phone (I use a Nokia) and empty the draft messages and reinsert the SIM into the Doro and this solves the problem until the drafts fill up again and you have to repeat the process. No idea why there is no drafts folder on the Doro, very strange!!
This happens on a few doro mobiles. To clear your phones memory of the messages follow these steps. Press'Menu' press ok, go down to 'settings' press ok, go down to 'messages' press ok go down to the bottom to 'delete' press ok, go down to 'delete all' press ok. Your phone will be clear of text messages stored on your phone and if you stored any texts on your sim this will be cleared also.
My mum-in-law had this problem when changed to a new Doro. Only way I solved it was to put her sim in my smartphone and use the settings menu to access messages stored on the sim, then delete them. Seemed that for some weird reason some Doro phones store old messages on the sim card.
