SMS inbox full? But not really.

I have called Apple about this twice and both times my issue has not been resolved. It's frustrating to have to delete all your old text messages just to recieve new ones. Apple should have this issue resolved by now.
I am having this message too. Ive deleted majority of my texts and it still keeps popping up 3-4 times a day
Anyone? I restored from backup and the message popped up again.....
i also got the error message "Your sms mailbox is full. New messages cannot be received until you delete some messages." and i have more then enough memory ...
i just called apple care and this is what they told me to do
go to Settings -> General settings -> Reset -> Reset all settings
this WON'T erase any data!
Then after about 5 mins connect the phone to the computer with iTunes open and then the text messages should come thru
this worked for me!
hopefully it will work for you too 🙂

i tried this, didn't work. what i ended up doing was just restoring it as a new phone and starting from scratch, but at least i can get SMS now.
absurd.
I'm having the exact smae issue! I have a iphone 4 for att and I've missed out on 2 days of text messages. Not until I restored it to factory settings did the messages come in. I dont want to start from scratch! the information, text messages, etc. are important. Why would they force us to update our OS if its going to cause such a problem. Any suggestions?
Didn't work. After reset it asked me to restore from backup or start as new iPhone.
If I didn't have backup, would have lost everything.
And still can't get my sms'es
Had the same problem....delete any pictures or videos in your messages inbox. So open up each conversation and delete those (don't worry about hitting to view older messages, just delete the ones you see without hitting that). After that, reboot your phone. And voila!
Let me know if that doesn't make sense..
Deleted about a 1000 and still does not solve it...
Any other suggestions pls?
I also have this issue... any other suggestions?!
I"m having the same issue, the reset all settings works for me but only for a few text then I have to do it again...
This all started for me once I restored a backup to the 4s.
I can imessage but I can't get new SMS's.
ive done all of the above, nothing has worked, it has stopped receiving text messages after i updated it. do we think we will wake up to a bunch of texts or??
