It has been there for ages and is annoying me a lot😡

I can't seem to delete it, even using the PC suite, I can't find it:frown:

You would think it would be that easy, its not.

It says Sending underneath the contact, and when I hit options it has Create Message, Message Details, Print, Help & Exit.

No option to delete.😡

Ok. Have you tryed sending it to someone. That's how I got rid of mine.
Keep us informed on how you're getting on.

If you press 'help', you can read that messages with status 'sending' cannot be deleted.
So the help says you can't, and I'm not much of help eighter

Just select the message and press the 'c' button beside the red disconnect key! I just checked it and it works!

Put the phone into the OFFLINE profile, then the text will not display as Sending. You should then be able to delete it in the normal way.

I tried hitting the c button, nothing again.

And I just put it in offline mode but again it still says sending:con?

I even deleted the number from my contacts to see if that would help, but nope. its still there:frown:

Have you tried removing the SIM card then turning the phone on and deleting it?

If that doesn't work and it's still bothering you then just do a hard reset!

Sorry I should have been more specific.

Enter OFFLINE mode, reboot the handset but remain in Offline mode.
Alternatively (as someone else suggested) try booting up with no SIM inserted.
