Got the same problem. 21 messages, all from 02, and inbox can't cope.

Currently scouring staff at work for a suitable mobile not locked to any other network.


It's not looking good. ;D

I have a cupboard full of mobiles (and my own is on O2) if you get stuck. ;D

Doesn't need to be unlocked. You just want to delete messages.

Of course, finding someone with a phone with a full sized SIM is more of a challenge...

Oh it does. It wouldn't even start the pho... Oh hang on, I saw the sim failed message and didn't look any further on a tesco handset. Arse. I remember now, the menus can still be accessed. :y

Although on another O2 handset we couldn't find the relevant texts on the sim. Only the owners texts. :(

It's all so long ago... ;D

Tesco is an O2 MVNO (JV actually) so that handset should work

Modern handsets often store the texts on the phone. Some you can switch between phone and SIM.

I have a SIM read/writer that might do the job, and takes credit card sized SIMs. Now, where's that PC that has a proper serial port, and windows 2K? ::)

Hmmm, you've reminded my, I have a load of lappys with card readers, for certificate based logons. I wonder, with right software, if they could read phone sims  :-\

That doesn't take a full sized SIM either - it takes same size as my superior gayphone ;)

No no, it takes the normal size sim. Just brake the sim out of the credit card holder, then tape it back in when done.

That particular hand set doesn't work if the sim doesn't register with the network. It merely allows demo mode.

Eventually found a Nokia hand set that allowed access to the sim memory, as opposed to the phone memory to was using.

O2 texts turned off.  >:(
