this is what i use to dump the messages from my sim card to a text 
file.  then i delete the messages on the sim card so i have room for new 
messages.

a limit of 30 messages is entirely impractical.  that gets filled up 
before noon arrives unless i constantly delete messages.

root at nibbly-bits:~# cat backup_messages.sh
#!/bin/sh
d=$(date +%Y.%m.%d-%H%M)
mdbus -s org.freesmartphone.ogsmd /org/freesmartphone/GSM/Device 
org.freesmartphone.GSM.SIM.RetrieveMessagebook 'all' > messages-$d.txt
