How Do I Change Where Incoming Sms Are Saved To On Rugby 3 Sgh-a997?

Once I didn't have auto deletion of inbox enabled, and I had trouble receiving new messages. I had to delete some of the older ones for new ones to come in, but for some reason they came in on SIM card, and ever since all of my new incoming text messages had been saved to SIM card! I deleted ALL of the messages from my inbox, but it didn't help. I would like for them to come in on my device like it used to be!
