    Cell Phone Backup, samsung focus flash , text messages

    I finally upgraded to a Samsung galaxy s ii , moved all the photos, videos, address book (Gmail) and can not locate a way to save the text messages, nothing, no how, no way.
    Any ideas ?
    Maybe copy them to a text file ?
    This could be a paid job.
    Thanks

    What phone did you have before? There usually is an option to copy the text (SMS) messages over to the SIM card, but the space is very limited. How much are you looking to save?

    Have you seen this?

    It might be what you are looking for. Apparently it allows export of SMS messages via CSV.

    Yeah, like some people here have mentioned I would have saved everything on to the memory card.

    txt messages are really not meant to be saved. I do allot of txting (several G's a month of it) and yes sometimes you need to save something but I usually just forward that message to my email

    Doesn't your phone comes with a software that you can install on your computer to make back-up of your sms, photos, etc. like KIES? My boss usually upgrades his phone and I can usually transfer all of his SMS to whatever new phone he will have.
