Abstract
A method for storing short message service (SMS) messages in a mobile communication terminal includes determining that a storing region corresponding to a Class of a new SMS message is full by detecting a transferable SMS message in the pertinent storing region, transferring the detected SMS message to another storing region, and storing the new SMS message in the pertinent storing region.
