Worldwide, nearly 5 billion cell phone subscribers walk around with cell phones in their pockets or purses. That many cell phones means even more text messages. Cell phones have storage capacity to hold a certain number of text messages; the amount varies from phone to phone. When your text message inbox is full, you will receive notification on your phone that you cannot receive any more text messages until you delete at least one of the old messages. If you need to save some text messages but your inbox is full, consider emailing yourself the ones you need to save. Enter your email address in the “To” box where you would normally enter a phone number for sending a text message.
