It blinks because your messages in the sim card is full. Go to messages then options then select sim messages. Delete some messages in the sim card. Your problem will be solved. Pls give me a kudo if you like my post.

Is it text message or company's service message of advertisements pop ups on your screen? Sometimes there is a problem in mobile's service too. If the same message keep blinking on your screen then register your complain to your mobile service provider's customer care center. Call them on their toll free number.

Now you have to check your mobile first. Then we decide that it is mobile problem or firmware bug. For that, first backup your contacts, messages, calendar, notes and bookmarks via PC Suite backup utility. Backup images, videos and music files using Windows Explorer. Now format your memory card using mobile's inbuilt memory card format utility. Now switch off your mobile. Now press and hold this 3 button "green call key, * and 3" together and switch on your mobile. Press and hold down that 3 key till country insertion dialogue appear. Now reset all the mobile settings as you like and restore all you backup in your mobile. Now check your problem and its still persist then it is firmware bug. Wait for new firmware release by Nokia for your model.

You say that you checked and deleted messages in the phone's memory and on the memory card, right?

That's not what you were asked to do. You were asked to check that messages on your SIM card had been deleted.
