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....
Hey folks! Came across this as I have nothing else to do. ; ) But I would like to be able to transfer my SMS's from my BlackBerry to my MT4G and vice versa. I came across SpriteMigrate, but it doesn't look like they supported or support BlackBerry any longer, even though the Google search tells me they do. I use both phones, I switch off every now and then, so I would like to update the phone's with the text messages as I switch. Of course, if text messaging were like Google Talk where everything passes the Google servers and gets stored then I'd be okay, but not every conversation happens to be on Google Talk obviously. If there is an alternative of some sort please let me know!
Just get a program called VeryAndroid SMS Backup to help. It can transfer SMS from iPhone, Blackberry, Nokia or Windows Mobile to Android. Google it for downloading.
My goal is to be able to send iMessages from my Nexus 5 to my girlfriends iPhone 5.
We carry a long distance relationship (International) whenever I go on business, which is 3-4 months at a time.
She doesn't want to use Whatsapp or whatever data messaging app other than iMessage. stubborn B---tch
Now I know that Remote Messages is a jailbreak tweak that allows people to send imessages from Windows operating systems, and I know that you can do that with Android. The concept is that you use an iDevice as the host.
In my case, I have both a Mac and a iPhone 5 (inactivated). So that cancels out my iPhone being the host. How can I use my Mac as a host to relay the iMessages?
Any ideas?
This thread looks like a total mess, Thread cleaned and closed.
I am thinking about switching to Android, from Iphone X, and I have 5 years of SMS text message threads which I do not want to lose. Is there any way to do this easily when I switch to Android? Will I lose all those SMS conversations ? Your recommendations, insights and guidance is greatly appreciated.
Do you mean you want to transfer text messages from your iPhone to Android? Actually, it's not that difficult. You can do that directly via 4 ways: mobile transfer software, SIM Card, Samsung Smart Switch, iTunes and iSMS2Droid. Please search the details online and choose the way you like better. Hope this will be your help.
It can be quite easy using any data transfer software, such as Mobikin Transfer, Move to Android, SHAREit, FileTransfer. You can quickly transfer the messages from iPhone to Android with this tool.
So yeah, I had already figured out that a tool like iSMS2droid lets you transfer the messages from iphone to android by downloading the iCloud backup that has the message in it but it notably left the photos and videos that I sent/recevied not in the messages and replaced them with blank messages.
Is there a way to completely transfer this media?Also, do the paid services like drfone actually transfer the media in the text messages along with the texts themselves?----That's basically my question. The following is just some ramblings that may help you answer the quesiton, thank you for your time again.
People have said that it wouldn't be possible because you're trying to turn iCloud data into android data but that's what iSMS2droid does so I think it should be possible, plus I think I have downloaded all this data in some weird forme anyway and it's just sitting there waiting to be used!
