Viewing SIM card SMS

Hi, I just got my hero a few days ago.
Previously I had saved some SMS onto my SIM card on a SE handphone.
With the SMSes still in the SIM card, how can I read them from Hero?
Thanks
Open up messages.... press menu button... then settings. Third down the list is "Manage SIM card messages
I could not find the option in handcent sms, but manage to find it in the default message widget.
thanks, it works.

[Q] Gv and carrier dialing from same interface?

I am thinking of getting an Atrix, but it is a must that I am able to access my contacts, then dial a number using either gv or carrier. With my iPhone there is an extension app to the stock dialer that throws up a dialog after you click dial that asks if you want to dial from carrier or gv. Similar functionality with the stock SMS app. You can select to send SMS through carrier or gv, and you can also tag SMS coming from gv with a tag so you know what number the incoming SMS came from.
Being pretty android dumb at this point, I'm asking if I can do this or similar on the atrix?
Thanks!
yes.
you have to set it up through GV to ask whether to use GV as default, not at all, or ask every time.
then, when clicking a number to dial, it'll kick in depending on what you have it set up as.

Setting number for Sim change alert

I am trying to set a contact number for Sim Change alert. But when I try to save the number, a little popup says 'Enter SMS'. What is this telling ?
My samsung account is created and could login to web as well.
You have to enter an sms message in the same menu. This is used to send you the message which you have set when someone changes the SIM in your phone
There is an option called "Alert msg" click on that and enter your message.

[SOLVED] Need a Phone App Where You Can Set Default SIM for Dual SIM (Samsung phone on Android 13)

Need a Phone App Where You Can Set Default SIM for Dual SIM (Samsung phone on Android 13)
When you Google for instructions on how to change default SIM for Calls or SMS, there appears that many Android Phones allow you set the default SIM separately for Calls and for SMS. Unfortunately it appears on at least US models of Samsung phones (at least my S23 Ultra running Android 13) you can just specify a default SIM for everything: calls/SMS/data. I want to use one SIM for data and one SIM for calls and SMS without having to remember to change the SIM in the phone or messaging app right before I make a call or send an SMS.
I've gotten around the SMS issue because my messaging app, Chomp SMS, has a DUAL SIM setting that will override the Android setting and default to whichever SIM you want to use when using Chomp SMS. (Of course this doesn't work for MMS as MMS uses data and it can't override the Android default SIM setting for data also so you can only send MMS using the SIM Android is set to us as default.)
So what I really need is a replacement phone app that has the same Dual SIM setting as Chomp SMS where I can specify when using the phone app what SIM to default to make calls with despite what the Androis O/S default SIM setting is set to so I don't have to remember to manually select the SIM in the phone app each time I make a call.

Found a solution for anyone running into this issue. You can download the app Multi SIM Selector and set the default SIM to be used and disable the manual pop-up. It also can allow you to select the SIM to use per call and then rembers to use that SIM when calling that number.
