hi all

yesterday i was typing an sms to a friend when my n70 suddenly hung .

i had to remove the battery then put it again ,,,

when i switched it back on i found that all of my sms " about 3000 by the way !!"

are gone , i immediately plug out the memory card and checked the "mail" folder and i found my sms files ,,, i have backed up the folder ,,

but the phone isn't showing any of my sms ... i tried to put sms on phone , then back on memory card hoping it will rebuild the index ,,,

but nothing happened , i tried to delete the index hoping it will rebuild it ,,,

but nothing !!!!

please help meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Check the Settings . When you remove memorycard , while the phone is still ON , the settings of messaging go automatically to the phone memory . After inserting the MC , the setting back to MC has to be done manually ; something like : Messaging > Options > Settings > Other > Memory In Use > Memorycard (MC) .
