There are several ways to do this depending upon whether you want to delete single messages or entire conversations with someone. Give this a quick read.

Hey Sly: Thanks for that. I tried the other day to delete one text message from the same sender which also included another. I wound up deleting both by mistake. I'm still a bit of a rookie with this "smart" phone. I hate when something is smarter than me.... :p

Seems to be happening to me more and more often;D

I just found that before I posted. There are tons of texting-related tricks I don't know. Even pn the iPhone I don't sends a lot of texts. My typing leaves a lot to be desired.
