    Its coool, i used this app and want to share another option of this sms backup application. You can schedule the auto backup time that will backup your all sms according to the schedule, you don’t need to backup Android sms manually.

      Try Sprite Migrate for migrating sms from WM to Android. It takes a while, but it works great! (It took about 5 hours to migrate 13000 messages.)

      If you have backup of your SMS then you can restore. This is not a recovery app, its backup and restore later app for android phones.

    So I mounted my SD card in my computer and am able to read my text from there, but is there anyway to get all of the codes or whatever these are off of it when I read them (“sms protocol” “date” “status” “locked”…stuff like that)? I would like to print my text but don’t want all that extra stuff to print with it.
