Hey everyone.

I'm pretty sure I sound like a complete i***t asking this, but....

I have an iPhone 3G.  During the day I text a fair amount with other people and the conversations all stay on the phone.  However, the next day, all the conversations have disappeared when I open up the messaging app.  Is there a way to keep the iPhone from deleting the conversations on a daily basis?  Or at least a way to recover them the next day?

The reason this is a big deal is that often I carry on a multiday conversation and its rather frustrating to not have any messages to look over and see what we've talked about previously.

Thanks!

Strange, my iPhone 3G does exactly what you're asking about already.  I have to manually clear the conversations.  I have looked in settings but I don't see anything under Messaging or General to change this.  I doubt it has to do w/ "Show Preview" but the only other option I see is Repeat Alert.  I am on 3.0 so I don't know if they put additional options in it w/ the latest update.

Same here, my phone stores all my messages, I have to clear them in order to get rid of them... might want to post on the AT&T/Cingular forums and ask there. Thats where I post for questions on my phones. But its a strange issue, I go through the phones settings and I dont see an option to have it clear your texts... 

Are you sure you didn't set it to not save messages or something? I find that this is one of the more commonly fixes =P.
