Hi,

I recently got a Nokia C3-01 with a memory card (8gb) to store pictures, messages, songs,...

Now I was wondering how I can save my messages (sent and received) on this memory card?

Can anybody help me please? Thanks a lot!

Greetings!

I have had the same problem. I called Nokia customer care & the lady told me to go into the same menus as the above person, but yeah, when I said there was no option she just said to go:

menu > Settings > Sync & Backup > Create Back-up

BUT - That Will NOT Automatically save the sms messages to the SD card.....The C3-01 Does NOT have that option. I wish I'd known that BEFORE Buying the bloody thing!!

VERY UNHAPPY as the amount of actual phone memory for sms & contacts etc is only 30mb so will easily get used up!

NOT HAPPY

You Cannot Actually use Memory Card's Memory in Messages as it is an Inbuilt feature of the Device Firmware and it cannot be changed, only if it gets accumulated alot, you can do is take a Backup of the Messages and save the Backup File on Memory card and use Nokia PC/Ovi Suite to check/read the Backed up messages later. Thats the only Way.

@Donza316
You are totally wrong there my Friend.
30 MB is enough to store 30,000 Messages including Sent/Received/Inbox/Archieved Msgs.

There is no BACKDRAW in Nokia C3-01 At All, except some features missing which are :
 

1. Add the Marking Individual Messages For Deletion in Inbox view of Nokia C3-01.
2. Marking/Copy-Pasting Text From notes, messages,etc.

So your Suggestion is totally Wrong.

You Must be VERY VERy HAPPY for the Device You have chosen for the Price It Is Available. Its the Best Out there Comparing other Company Sellers too.

You can . When u restore, your settings, msg. etc. are restore to the same as the time of backup.

I have to agree that Nokia has a really terrible device.

On the Nokia PC Suite it said "Backup your messages so that you don't lose data". I did. I backed up SMS messages older than 1 year. At the end of the process what really happened was that all sent items of the last year were simply deleted! The backup was empty.

The phone has 30 or 40MB for internal memory but you can't delete the movies and rings that come with the phone and take almost 20MB.

Terrible device.

I have been using Nokia for over 10 year. This is my last Nokia phone. This is also why I will not buy Nokia Lumina. For me the phone is part of my work. I can't take the risk of using the phone and then having all messages deleted, or inability to receive messages for no real reason without any warning.

Terrible device. Terrible support.

Will not use Nokia again after using this phone!

Backup doesn't work also.
"Not enough memory" when I try to backup only text messages. I have 1.4GB free on the SD card.
