Hi!
my sister got an Android phone for her birthday, but after some time, she realised, she doesn't like it so much...She decided to buy something more "user-friendly"(i don't understand her, she's crazy!!) and she decided to buy an iPhone.. But she has no idea, how to import her sms messages from Android to iPhone(if it is possible). Don't you know any solution, how to get it working??
Thanx a lot
Try saving the sms' to the sim card and just transfer the sim across, and save them to the phone.
if it works give me the android. Her loss can be my gain.
You can use "91 mobile assistant for android(visit www.91.com to download)" backup sms messages.
then,use "91 mobile assistant for iphone" restore your sms messages.
P.S:Your iphone must JB at first,and add weiphone(app.weiphone.com/cydia) by Cydia(install afc2).
Ok, thanks a lot i'll try it

You can use SMS Migrator here: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-baole-mainimporter-iCDt.aspx
SMS migrator only works for importing to android, not iphone.
91 mobile assistant android can only export as txt xml or csv,
91 mobile assistant iphone can only import .db files.
Is there no way to convert an xml into a db?
You mean export.
So I guess it's not possible then?
This is so amazing, with all this modern technology out there and no, there is no way to move data from product a to product b? It seems that this industry is indeed stuck in a thick cloud (of how to make things extremly hard for customers who want to switch).
Jailbreaking an iPhone 4s would not be that easy and I personally do not like to do this.
Why can't apple step up and create a "easy to transfer everything on the android to iPhone" application and google could do it vice versa? With what we have now it is either forget your data transfer and be stuck forever or throw it overboard and start from scratch. This is IT from the stone age and not the fancy miracle pixie dust stuff that is printed on the sales boxes.
I'm just switch from android to iphone,
is it really no way to convert sms from A to I?
My sms brought from my Palm -> WM -> Android...

any solution ? no way for transfer simply text message from Android System (like Samsung Galaxy GS2 or Note) to iPhone ? Of course, iPhone 4S w/out JB! We can manipulate the iPhone backup made by iTunes!
ohhh !!! :O
I badly need any apps to do this..... my brother offered his galaxy s2 to me if i transfer all his contacts / sms to his new iphone 4s....
guys, any luck !!
Hello Together,
as I had the same problem (my girlfriend switched from android to iPhone) - I wrote a complete App that views the android sms-table on the iPhone, checks out contacts from the iPhone adressbook and allows to delete not needed messages!
If you are interested in the solution (as I'm still working to get it certified from apple) you can already contact me under philipp[at]frenzel.net
If you don't understand why it's only a viewer, this is because apple closed down any methods to add records to their tbl_messages in the background (uihuihuihui)
Took me days to dig into this "specials...".
Cheers Philipp

I used smsbackup + and I successfully copied all the messages on the database to gmail. But now my question is: how can I restore these sms on my iphone 3G iPhone OS 5.1?
Thanks

It's amazing how I face a problem and suddenly someone else has the same issue and digs up an old and forgotten thread for me.

U can modify the sms.db itunes backup file for add/remove/manage sms/mms. For who know a little bit of database language, i think all is possible. Remember we talking about text message, and non machine-code
With Android system we can export on many ways the sms (for example in xlm) and with another software (OSX, Windows, Linux) is possible merging the messages and create a new sms.db. After, with a synch through iTunes, we can have do the job.... Utopia ? I don't think....
Has anyone found a way to import SMS messages into Phone 7 yet? I'm looking at moving from Android over to Phone 7 and I've got a few years worth as I was able to migrate them from my WinMo 6.x phone to Android when I made that change. If it can be avoided, I don't want to lose all my messages in the switch over to Phone 7.
there is no way currently to import sms or back them up either.
Not sure why you would want years of sms's.
I was afraid you'd say that.
honestly, I'm a recovering pack-rat so by nature I keep things until they get in my way. It has been handy though, I've dug a few alternate phone numbers and addresses out of the older messages a few times. This isn't a deal breaker for me, just not my ideal.
Thanks again for the info.
I can give you a pretty good reason - I need mine as proof against my psycho ex girlfriend. How's that for reason? I guess people have their reasons when they ask, don't you?

then keep the phone with them on it. And if you really need them for "proof", the police can get them from the carrier.
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
I take it that there is no way to transfer sms from one wp7 to another then?
I have a limited number of texts that I have managed to keep on the sim over the years for sentimental reasons, eg, from now deceased loved ones.
I have never understood why OFFICE has never integrated SMS, allowing you to use plug ins to send and store SMS . They have facebook etc connectors.
I thought all sms, pics, contacts etc could be synced with your email address and stored using microsoft myphone?

Hi Kappo
The OP wants to get the SMS's off his current Android phone and import them into his WP7 but has no way to get the messages into MyPhone
Hi All,
I'm newbie here... hope you guys willing to help me.
Recently I just upgrade my phone from HTC HD2 to HD7, unfortunately I cannot sync / move all my data such as CONTACTS, SMS, EMAIL, WORD, ZNOTE, etc to my new HD7.
Could you guys kindly help, what software do I have to use or any easy way to move my Contacts & SMS.
These to items are most important.
I'm totally lost...
Please help...
Thank You.
easiest way I found to transfer contacts is to use soocial.com. they have a winmo application that will upload all your contacts that you can sync with your live account that your phone will then download.
Or if you have gmail, you can use active sync on your hd2 to upload your contacts to gmail, then hd7 supports contact sync with gmail.
There is no sms syncing available.
For word documents, easiest way is to email them to yourself and open them on your phone, long press the document and save it.

Well. What is your email provider?
The easiest way of sync Contacts and Calendar is actually having Hotmail account.
And use ActiveSync to put this to Hotmail from HD2,
and set on HD7 Hotmail account which will bring it to phone.
As for office docs I'm afraid the only way is Hotmail SkyDrive or just email this to yourself.
I also want Zune to sync all this content!
Have you find a solution to transfert the sms from wm6.5 to wm7 ??

Hi Titeloo,
I'm afriad there is no current solution that i know of that would allow you to export/import sms from WM6.5 to WP7, If you really cannot stand to lose them then i would sync them with MS My Phone. This will allow you to store them online and view them whenever you like, however this solution still will not allow you to get them onto the WP7.
I wouldnt let this stop you from using your new handset though, i also have an HD7 after having moved from an Xperia X1 (WM6.5 device) and i can tell you that it is a completely different experience. I have not seen a single bug or crash on the handset since xmas and most importanatly i never have to restart it
Hope this helps,
Creamy
It baffles me that someone would refuse to use WP7 because they can't read their old SMS messages. That makes absolutely 0 sense to me.

Yes I understand not wanting to lose some messages, but I can't believe you'd rather stay away from an entire OS than lose a couple "sentimental" text messages.
And why would you lose your contact list?
Export your messages to PC and then send them in text as email

I say that because with my phone the contact and sms was save every day automatic so if loose it or if i've a probleme with it all it's save on live
Some other applications do that but miscrosoft block them on WP7 I don't know why, i can't understand ...
Wp7 also saves/backs up contacts to your live account

Hello people!
I've just upgraded my HTC HD2 to WP7 and I backed up contacts and texts to My Phone.
Now I can't get those contacts to new OS.
Microsoft says that those will be automatically transferred to SkyDrive in August but I can't wait till then.
I can access both MyPhone and SkyDrive on Internet but I don't know how to sync these two programs!!!!
Is Microsoft so stupid and hates its own users or what???????
I have all my contacts backed up and I can't transfer them to my phone???
Awful !!
Please help,anyhow.
Those contacts are very important to me and I can't manually write 800 of them
Hello,
Thank you to all amazing developers for the superb ROMs.
Background: I maintain my master contacts in Microsoft Outlook (which I now periodically sync with Gmail contacts). I had a windows based HTC P3450 phone earlier which could directly sync with Outlook. When using that phone, an incoming call used to give much more info about the contact in addition to name and phone number such as company name, title etc.
Not that I am a professional nerd with thousands of contacts, but I particularly found this feature very useful in that phone because I could tag my in-laws names with their cities because I could hardly ever remember their names.
All in all, when a call used to come from my aunt in law, it looked something like this
Mrs X Y Z
+1 123-123-1234
Location1, Honey's 2nd aunt
Click to expand...

I havent tried all of the amazing ROMs here but was wondering how difficult it is for our magicians to either customize the incoming call screen or just hard code additional info fields. Just a food for thought.
P.S. : I'm currently running Cognition 5 v2
Hi Guys
This is a wierd issue. My daughter is travelling in South America. She has, to all intents and purposes, lost her iPhone 3 or 4 and has bought a new Samsung Galaxy S4. With her new phone she had to buy a sim card. Her only means of contact with us is via Whatsapp and Viber. Since she has a new number and the two apps work off the old phone number is there any way to restore her old accounts to her new phone?
Appreciate some help
Brian

Hello,
As for Viber, she can simply reinstall it on her new device with the new sim, restoring previous account is not available.
Good luck!
So you are not talking about the messaging history to restore. But the app itself. In that case, I would say try to port the old phone number either to the new galaxy s4 or to a second device. After you get the number ported than its easy to intercept the whatsapp SMS verification code.
For the future, I recommend using a Google voice number to register with these apps. That way, you always have access to the number to verify. Of course you'll than have to deal with two numbers.. one is the real cell phone and the other for whatsapp and other apps.
