Nokia C5-03 Flashing Envelope SIM Memory Full: What to Do!

The Nokia C5-03 is Nokia’s latest Symbian S60 5th Edition touchscreen smartphone with 3.2-inch screen that is highly tappable. We were very impressed when we tried it, but there are some small issues. Once you’ve had it a while, it’s possible for an envelope to start flashing onscreen, indicating that the SIM memory is full. Read on to find out about the Nokia C5-03 flashing envelope SIM Memory Full and what to do!

 

The Nokia C5-03 is a neat, trim and slim smartphone aimed at the entry-level market ideal for upgrading your Nokia 5230, perhaps?  The 3.2-inch screen makes it possible to send text messages and emails in seconds, but in a few cases we've heard there is a slight bug with the software, where the SIM memory is reading as full. Thankfully, it’s easy to sort this out.

 

Check out our Nokia C5-03 review roundup

 

A full SIM memory will show up as a small flashing envelope in the top right-hand corner of the Nokia C5-03′s screen. Most of the time this means the SIM memory is full, although occasionally it can also mean that empty slots are not being recognised.

 

Either way, it’s a very simple process to free up memory. First, go to into Messaging on your Nokia C5-03, select Options and then SIM Messages. At this stage you need to delete all the SIM messages. This will stop the envelope from flashing and will also correct the error.

 

It’s also possible to open your messages, press Options and Mark. This lets you mark the messages you want to delete – saving your favourites. Once you’ve ticked the ones you want to delete, either press the delete key on your Nokia C5-03, or press Options and Delete.

 

It's quick, easy and once it's done, you'll wonder why you didn't try it right away! If you like this How to then give us a tip of the hat in the Comments below.
