Although I said that the stored messages have DISAPPEARED, maybe it would be more accurate to say that I just can't see them. There's an "unopened envelope" (i.e New SMS) icon between the WiFi and Battery icons in the Status bar area of my Web user interface. That tells me there's one or more SMS messages which I haven't read. When I login to see it (or them) I'd expect to see something like this example picture from page 26 of the User Guide:
...but with twenty-odd messages rather than just one.
What I actually get is:
Looking at the numbers under the heading: SMS Storage status (Used/Total capacity) it says 0/0.
What? Maximum allowable stored messages suddenly reduced from 100 to zero! Something wrong here, surely. It's impossible to say if the actual messages are still in the device's memory. There seems to have been a corruption of the memory bytes where it holds the numbers of actual messages stored and the maximum permitted. If those bytes could be corrected, perhaps normality would be restored. The best course of action I can think of is to restore the device to its original factory settings so as to get a fresh start. That will mean that any stored messages will definitely disappear, but I will (hopefully) once again be able to see new incoming messages. I'm a little nervous that a reset might make things worse, hence my post to see if others have
You suggest looking in "Drafts". If I could send messages, then I understand that there might be such a location where outgoing texts would be held before transmission. I haven't "looked at Drafts" because I don't know how.
You mention being able to reply to MMS, which is intriguing. I'd invite you to send one to the SIM in my device, but at the moment I don't think I'd be able to see your message!
