Phone memory

[Maypole]

My mobile occasionally says it doesnt have enough memory to perform a function and I need to close applications to carry on.

Ive no idea what this means as to my knowledge I dont have any applications open!

Its a Nokia N73 from Three, I have about 1500 texts, maybe 100 contacts, 1 photo and about 2 short video clips and 2 songs. Do I need to buy a memory upgrade if I want to keep the texts? Or is it a glich?

Any advice welcome - I dont understand mobiles, just a functional item for me!

What size is the current memory card? 512K? If you even have one in there - or are you just using the phone's memory?

You can get a 1 Gig card (twice the capacity of a 512) off ebay for a couple of quid.

There are bigger capacity memory cards available.

Or just delete the old texts!

erm... Ive certainly never insterted a card, and I dont remember buying anything extra for it. So I guess Im using the phone memory. Is that not the normal way of things? Guess not!

So is it a mini SD I need? Where does it go?

The phone memory is not that large - really only meant as a secondary memory - hence the memory cards.

There's a slot for a memory card either top or bottom on that handset.

Yes, you need a Mini SD card:

Look in your user manual for how to locate/insert a memory card.

I also sometimes get that message when there's not much battery left....

If all that above ^^^ sounds like too much hassle, just delete the 1500 texts you have on there!
