Transferring sms texts from mobile to laptop

[johnmyers]

Hi all

PC and mobile thicko so please be gentle.

Im getting a new phone shortly and need advice.

I can copy photos/videos from my htc wildfire no problem but ive got a few very important text messages that i need to keep hold of, the new phone comes with a new sim card.

Is there anyway of transferring the sms text messages from my phone to my laptop, if so how?

Cheers

John

I think theres a free app in the android market called "SMS to TEXT"

just sync all your contacts and txts with a google account. also you can back up txt messages with samsung kies (if compatible with htc ? ) failing all the above just forward the messages to your new sim when it arrives

Install MyPhoneExplorer (server on the Android phone from Google Play, it will tell you where to download the Windows client).
You can do amazing things with it. Screenshots, control the phone, transfer files etc. It can be used to backup SMS from the phone.

He cannot connect to download apps from Google Play...
A friend of mine wanted the same thing and she was able to go to her mobile provider (it was Orange, by the way), they connected the phone to a rather large device. It costed her around 5-6 euros, but it depends on the country. You could try this.

thanks for your answers people.

i eventually managed to get my phone to sync and connect to the apps and download my phone explorer.
