Hello,
I have two Android phones and want to swap a sim card in and out as I wish. I know people do this, but is there any way to sync text messages on both phones, so you don't have a conversation on one phone that doesn't show up when you put the sim card into the other phone. Thanks!

text/mms retrieval (text messages stored on the sim card w/the 8525)
here's a question i've yet to ever see asked...
i had my sim card in a device that does not support MMS (my c139) and i receive notification of an incoming MMS. i see a noninterpreted message containing "application/vnd.wap.mms-message" on the c139's message window. this initial MMS notification message is stored on the sim card along with a few other text messages i received - the c139 does not store messages internally.
i've now moved the sim card back into my 8525, which is capable of receiving MMS. here is where i can't figure out what to do...so i've got two questions.
1. is there a way to access the messages stored on the sim card from the 8525, similar to viewing contact stored on the sim card? i know the messages are still there, because moving the card back to the c139 shows them again...and putting a different sim card in the c139 shows different stored text messages.
2. assuming there is a way to view the sim card stored messages on the 8525, is there a way to now retrieve the attached content of the MMS i received? i tried forwarding the message from my c139 to myself, immediately turning off the phone & swapping the sim card to the 8525...but when the message came OTA on the 8525, it was just the forwarded text w/no indication there was any MMS payload.
ideas?

i'm cross posting this from my post in the cingular customer forums, as i think the question may be better addressed here.
thanks in advance for any insight!

I'm buying a One S and it only has a micro sim. How in the world do I transfer my contacts from my sd card or regular sim card? I know I can cut my sim card but I rather not do that...
There's an app for that...
Backup your contacts to your google email account...once you sync the one s to the google account your contacts will sync to the one s...no sim card or micro ad card needed.

call your phone service provider do the transfer for you. simple and easy
you can also use the sync which is offered in one of the steps you get when you start your phone first time. just choose your old phone model from a list, turn bluetooth on and let it sync what you want.
I posted this in the N00B question thread but I was told to make a new thread.
So my friend got an Unlocked Atrix 2 and she is using it on T-mobile. When the sim is inserted she can make phone calls and send text messages but it says the sim card is full and it wont let her import the contacts from the sim card to her google account. In fact it says there are no contacts but that is definitely not the case because if you put it into the old phone they all show up. That being said I found a thread that apparently has the answer but I don't know what exactly I am supposed to do. Am I going to have to root the phone so that I can modify the XML system files?

I since rooted the device just so that I have the ability to do more but the Atrix 4G thread was of no help. I don't know what they did in there to get it to work. Anyone have any ideas?
Why don't you use the old phone to sync contacts with Google, then login with the same Google account on the new phone and sync again.

Hi people!
I have an HTC Windows 8X phone locked to AT&T.
I'm a newbie to the forum so please don't hang me for asking but is there any way to backup other phone info besides your app settings?
I had to do a reset but using the cloud backup only allowed my programs and a few other things.
My phonebook, wireless settings, email settings, icon placement etc had to all be redone.
I know it does the apps, pix and texts but I'd at least like to have my phonebook if nothing else.
I had my old phonebook copied from my old phone (a Moto on AT&T) and they (AT&T) copied my phonebook from the old
SIM to the new one. I was then able to copy from the SIM to the phone... but you can't copy back to the SIM so any and all
contact updates and corrections can't be stored on the SIM again for future transfers back and they aren't backed up to the cloud.
I actually do like the phone, I just wish they'd give you more options as to what to back up so I don't have to wind up
writing down all my contacts for manual re-entry should something go haywire.
Any suggestions?
Many thanks!
Background: I bought an S6 three weeks ago, and swapped SIM cards with an iPhone 6. Both phones are on AT&T. Everything worked fine.
So my configuration was:
iPhone 6: New SIM
S6: Old SIM
This weekend, my S6 decided to stop sending SMS. I still continue to receive text messages, but cannot reply. I get an error 'Failure to send'. Factory reset did not help.
I swapped the SIM cards back, and both phones work as expected. To be clear, the S6 with my new SIM card is able to send SMS.
What could possibly be wrong? It seems like something with my account.
TIA...
