Thanks for the replies gents. The texts have never been kept by myself, i always delete sent texts straight away for space and only keep sentimental/important texts that i've received. This very morning i sent a text (mundane) and it never arrived, but a text that i had sent in December 2009 was received

Where today's text went is a mystery and where the 2year old text came from likewise

Both phones are oldskool Nokias, so no huge storage abilities.
