How old is the oldest text message in your cell phone?...

I changed phone 3 times but the sim card remains. The oldest text message stored in my phone was sent by a friend dated November 17, 2002. :D Here's the message, just wanna share: LOVE may take long but it will always take you to where you belong. Enjoy the journey, your heart will know.. when its finally HOME. Every time the heart's broken, I'd just read this old text. =)

Hello aseretdd, The oldest that I have right now was the first message from my husband when he went back to his country. I think it was on 24th Dec, 2006. He told me how he missed me and our son so much though it was just a day living without us. I still have all the 'lovey dovey' messages that he sent to me while he was there for almost a year. I just can't delete them as they are very meaningful to me. When he came back, I showed him all the messages. He just smiled and told me how very emotional I could be sometimes. The best is that he even asked me whether is it true that he was such a romantic person when we were living separately that time. He should know the answer.

I has to be a few years old when my husband send me a beautiful birthday message.

Oldest message on my phone is 15 days old... When I turn my phone off tonight & turn it back on, 15 days old messages will be deleted automatically... All the messages on my phone including emails are set to be deleted automatically after 15 days... I have it set up so that it gets deleted automatically after 15 days... When I come home, I do download my emails to my computer as well so I have a record of it... I have text messaging set up the same way...

hello friend,yes, it is really interesting.I always save some wonderful complimentary text message in my cell phone.The oldest ones i hold is more than 1 years.These complimentary words are from my good friends who care each other a lot.we always send each other some lucky and blessing words .So in any way, i will keep some special ones as god memories.And in some conditions, i will resend them to my new friends who has not received them yet.These words stand for my best wishes.lol

The oldest text message on my sim card is the quotes my friends during my high school days. they are memorable to me because my friends that were really close to me. I know them and they know me. So i just cant erase them.

I don't really keep text messages. In fact last night I ended up deleting all the messages I had on my phone. I only had about 10 or so messages on there and none of them were that important. I think the oldest one on there was only a few weeks old. Maybe a month old.

My messages in my cellphone can be really old. As there are some important and sweet messages from my husband at that time. And since I use a smartphone, and I can store as many as messages I want and the size is pretty small. I love China

Dear friend, I do know exactly how long but one of my close friend just few days before his car accident gave this text message it is so related to his as it was a greeting for the Onam festival a festival in our place in southern India. I was so attached and I never deleted it may be it more than 2 years old.

The date of the last text is 06/07/08 which was 5 days ago. I text a lot, so my inbox gets full every week and then I delete all the texts to make room for old ones. I never save old texts, because I am not a sentimental person and if there is anything there that I need to remember (eg date of a party) then I put it in the calender or a memo. I really cannot believe that you have still got a text for three days.

The oldest text message I have on my phone is the roaming confirmation from my old network back home. I had to keep it there because I might need the information later when I switch it off upon going home.

The oldest one I have is a little over a year old, from when I was returning to the States from a study abroad program in Japan. My parents sent me a text welcoming me home, which I got as soon as I turned on my phone as I got off of the plane.

I dont have any text messages on my phone actually! My phone automatically erased text messages every 24 hours. I wish it didnt do that and I keep forgetting to change it, so I think I might do that right now. But on my old cellphone I had a 3 month old text from my ex-boyfriend, I dont know why I kept it, It was always just there.

i have two years older message in my cellphone because it was sent by my gal friend when we met for the first time in college..i can't forget those moments, thz why i have still saved this message..

I had a cell phone from the year 2002. So it is now nearly 7 years for the phone. But unfortunately about 6 months back a robber broke into the house at night and ran away with both mine and my son's cell phones. I had to replace them at a cost of about USD 300. I needed to buy new ones because I cannot afford to lose my contacts. But unfortunately though I was able to get a new SIM card with the former phone numbers, all messages and contact lists were deleted. So the oldest text message in my phone is not so old. But the message is not a good one. It is a big embarrassment to reveal it here. But now that I have come half way doing it I will reproduce it exactly as it is in my inbox. 23 December 2007 Dear Customer,You have reached a balance of 3451.13. You are liable for automatic disconnection upon reaching 3500. Shame, Shame, I had to reveal this to everyone at mylot. But now I am a VIP customer and they don't disconnect for exceeding my credit limit.

it is more than 2 years old. it was a new year wish from my brother. its so nice that it is still saved there.it was nice so it is there. there are also few messages taht are too old.

Hi aseretdd, I have 2 year old messages which was stored in my phone and I gave it to my Sister when I left..Its from My Parents, Husband,Sister and friends messages during my Birthday! I just want to saved it.. This time, the oldest message which I have is like 3 months..LOL!

The oldest saved text in my phone is nine months old. Its from a guy that I like even to this day, although I just told him that I can't see him anymore because its too painful. Anyway, the text is just a simple question, "U lov me still?" What happened was we had a pregnancy scare, but found out the symptoms that I was having was because of fibroid tumors, and I would never be able to have kids again. I didn't want anymore at the time, but I was depressed because I wanted it to be my choice, not forced upon me. I guess he didn't understand that, because after we found this out he disappeared on me for like a month. I ranted and raved through text to him, and he wouldn't call or answer me. Finally, after so long, I called him for a favor and he did come to see me. We spent a little time together, and talked things over. He asked what really was the situation and did I want to be pregnant by him. I told him no, at least not right now, but I wanted it to be my choice not to have kids. Finally he dropped me off back at the house, and when he left he texted me this message. After I answered by telling him that love can't just be shut off like a switch, I saved the text because I thought it was cute. I should delete it now, its painful to look at because I know with his mentality we can't be together like I want to be. But I can't bring myself to do it. Part of me hopes that he will wake up and realize what he has lost in me, but its doubtful. I don't know what I will do with this text, or the others that I have saved, but I can't bring myself to delete them, not right now.

Silly me I do not know how to text a message on my cell phone. I do not even use that feature. I do not pay extra for that feature anyway.

Oh, that is funny. You just reminded me I think I still have an obscene call on one of my old cell phones. I used my cell phone as a recording device to save the call for a college as it was left on his office phone. It was a nasty thing and I saved it to use as evidence just in case the student committed some act of violence, such as she threatened in the call -- but ewwwwie, what a potty mouth that girl had. I did recognize her voice too, as she was a student whom I had had a few words with myself. We have been retired a few years now, so I can get rid of that kind of stuff.
