    Can't add new SMS contact on Skype Preview

    I have been using Skype Preview on my L640 as the default SMS, but am finding it really not as good at handling things as the actual SMS app does, I currently have an issue which is difficult to believe would happen so am wondering if I am going about it all wrong.

    Lumia 640 phone storage problem

    Do you have and use an SD card? That is always an option to move some apps onto and free up space on the device. I'm not sure on what could be done to shrink the apps, short of doing what you already have done. Is there anything else in use on there that takes up space - maps for example...

One function I made use of on the MS Messaging was the mute message option, so that certain threads would notify and others did not. On the Skype Preview I am not seeing this option at all and...

    My L930 has had a minor issue for the last month now, and it has been repeated today straight after the last official update. When I receive a call it will ring initially for perhaps one ring or two then go to silent, just as it would if I pressed the volume button to mute, so it keeps showing...
