Ahoy there, have any of you chaps come across a full inbox of messages on the NCDC 2015 that you weren't able to delete?

Basically my unit will display your inbox is full, you have 29 messages please delete etc... 

But when I enter the Message sub menu the Phone part of the system does a reboot, I lose signal but the stereo is still working.  Sometimes I can't even select the Message sub menu as it is greyed out.

Ignoring the command doesn't help either as it pops every few seconds when you 'Return', especially annoying when using the in built sat nav.

Any ideas how I can get these messages deleted or get rid of the command?

Original Sim in there or Sim or Card holder issue?, what happens if you try another Sim?

[Shimmy]

It's the SIM I bought for the car 2.5 years ago.

Swapping in another would mean buying a new SIM as it needs to be held within the card holder itself. Like below:


The SIM itself remains in the card and isn't to be popped out.

The Sims breakout and normally leave the breakout pins intact on the holder, which means you can put another Sim in there with some masking tape or simular behing it to hold in situ, done loads like this but fully understand if you dont feel like messing with it.

Have you or anyone else done this with the NCDC 2015, if so I'll give it a bash.

If not I guess I'll end up doing it anyway haha, new SIM wouldn't be the end of the world.

Yep on the same model, not sugesting this your fix but if was me I'd be playing with the Sim before suspecting the Telematics Unit.

you use to get the same inbox full issues with nokia handsets! back then the old sim could only store 20messages or similar on them. put the sim in a handset that you could access the sim msgs and delete and put back, should do the trick? 

HTH!

The SMS are stored on the SIM, try using another device to delete them.

Yes, I have seen the same problem on my telematics unit.

Hmm. I wonder if I still have any mobiles that take a full size SIM?

Probably 5V SIMs, so little use these days. I do have a reader/writer somewhere that might do it. Probably easier to just pop it out of the card and put it in a mobile.

is such a thing still in existence?

Still got our first phone, and still have original box. it is a Nokia 2110, takes full size card but no idea if it would be compatible.

2 versions of them from memory, GSM and PCN, still got mine complete with charger, so sometimes gets charged up and taken out. Always gets a good laugh when slapped on the table or bar with your car keys.

Thanks chaps, got it sorted.

Taking the SIM out and deleting in my phone was my plan, but thought I'd ask here beforehand in case there was a more convenient option.  Selo-taped the SIM back into the card and got a clear inbox now. 

[zirk]

Glad its sorted

Sellotape not idea TBH, as it can get goo'y after time or with heat, try Magic Tape or Masking tape at some point.

2110 took a small SIM. Not that it matters
