hi there,

 

There is one way to retrieve messages stored on ur mem card connect ur phone to the PC using nokia PC suite(U didnt mention which phone r u using??) before connecting it to PC go to messaging->options->settings->other change the storage location to memory card update to latest version of Nokia PC suite (http://www.nokia-asia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/nokia-pc-suites/compatibility-a...#)

 

 

install PC suite and start the messages icon in it and u can view all the messages stored on ur card even u can copy them store in any other place

 

check this out

 

cheers...........:smileyhappy:
