This demonstrates the incompetence in tech in EU. Either she wants to enforce laws for the common people and not for the elite, or she is incompetent enough to believe that deleting text messages affects storage.

- croes 1y agoYou will experience different problems if you are low on storage long before you can’t receive simple text messages
- 1718627440 1y agoDepends on the phone. The phones I had this problem with don't do more complicated things than "receive simple text messages", so they also don't have the storage for more. I guess when you do shady contracts you would use a burner phone, so it's quite likely that this was the case here.
- steinvakt2 1y agoA few seconds of video on a recent phone is quickly the size of thousands of text messages. So the size of a text message is basically zero. So deleting text messages for the sake of storage is ridiculous
- 1718627440 1y ago> So deleting text messages for the sake of storage is ridiculous Say that when your phone refuses to receive text message due to full storage. > A few seconds of video The storage for video and for SMS don't need to be identical. Also not every phone is even capable of storing arbitrary files.
- steinvakt2 1y agoI'm not saying that text messages don't need storage space. I'm saying that they require so little that it's pointless to delete text messages. And it seems like you are deliberately trying to not acknowledge that. Are you now going to say that you once deleted a text message and saw 1 kb storage freed or what
- 1718627440 1y agoAnd I am saying that this is highly subjective. In fact there are phones that require you to regularly delete message, so you can receive new messages. This can also lead to a habit that persist even when using a newer phone. I also delete kb-sized files on my computer, even when my partition size is measured in GB.
