They do, but unless the sender has specified otherwise it is a minimum of 30 days. Also, bear in mind that it works just fine when the SIM is in the other phone, so it is unlikely to be SIM or Carrier related.
It's been factory reset so it is using the standard LG SMS app. I am checking whether or not that is the standard Android app. But I expect it is.
It receives SMS when it is on, so one would think that the active carrier settings are correct.
I think it must be related to the currency of SMS that the phone receives/downloads. Longevity settings on the phone are relevant to send, not receive. So I'm just digging through to work out what setting that might be, never mind how it got changed..
