This past week, I started noticing this message pop up.
"Your SMS mailbox is almost full. Please delete some messages."
So yesterday, I finally deleted some messages and then looked up the info at Apple.
Apple says you can have a max of 1,000 SMS messages. Doesn't seem like enough. I don't want to delete my SMS messages. In 5 months since I got my iPhone, I used about 1,000 SMS messages. I guess Apple is afraid someone might fill up their 8GBs with text messages?
There is a large thread at Mac Rumors about this and how many people are upset. There is a hack to download your SMS messages, but I'm not going to use that. This is a bit upsetting, to say the least.

Just found this picture on Flickr. Have you considered treasuremytext.com ? They have an iPhone app that lets you save your SMS to their servers - that way you won't lose anything :)
