How can I see really old text messages without scrolling tediously?

Hi, I'm attempting to find a way to find dialogue from a while ago. I've been texting this person daily for months, and I want to see our conversations from months ago. I could scroll tediously but it would take forever and I'm not sure my phone would even allow it.
How can I access dialogue from that long ago and many messages ago?

Try using PhoneView to get access to the old messages

How can i print out old text messages?

how can i print out old text messages?

As Ann said, it does depend on your phone. One third party app that works on many phones (especially older models, but not all phones) is BitPim ( http://www.bitpim.org/ ) but it can potentially harm/brick your phone if you don't know what you are doing - use it with caution. I have used it successfully to get texts and photos off an old flip phone that was deactivated and had no sd card.
Newer smartphones can download apps that will give you the ability to print out texts.

How can I back up old text message to my iPhone?

How can I backup my old text messages back to my iPhone?

Messages sent using iCloud will be visible from any Apple device using the Apple ID and that can access iMessage.

How can I read my old text messages after transfer...

OK, I've got a couple of problems. First of all, I've been unable to send text messages from my 6620. As detailed in this older thread,
/discussions/board/message?board.id=messaging&thread.id=14597
...somebody on Yahoo answers suggested a possible fix, but it requires deleting all the text messages in m "In," "Out," and "Drafts" folders first.
I've therefore been dragging my heels about implementing this fix, as I have numerous text messages on my phone which I'd really like to be able to keep and refer back to in the future. The problem is, the last time I checked, there was no way to read any old text messages that you'd removed from your Nokia smartphone and stored on your computer.
Is this still the case? It seems ridiculous to be that there wouldn't be a way to do something as simple as reading an old text file on your computer, but as I said, the last time I checked, nobody could point to any app or utility that would make this possible.
I do recall being able to open certain "Mail" files on the Mac, using TextEdit, but the Nokia had buried the messages inside an incomprehensible structure of layers upon layers of folders and sub-folders, and when you opened the messages, you'd often have to wade through tons and tons of duplicates, all of which had tons of bizarre, random ascii characters showing up in the bodies of the text messages.
So using TextEdit's not a great solution.
Please, can somebody tell me if there's a program that will enable me to easily find and read my backed-up text messages? Ideally this would be something that works under OS X, but I can use VMWare Fusion or Virtual PC if there's only a Windows solution available. Thank you!

As I said previously, "Of course this will not include any messages you had prior to first using Verizon Messages on your old phone."
Verizon Messages will only sync messages which have been sent/received SINCE you first enrolled in it. It will NOT do so for messages from BEFORE.
You could restore older messages to your phone with an app such as SMS Backup & Restore, but they won't be on Verizon's servers to access from other locations such as desktop/laptop/tablet.

How can I get my old text messages back?

Wanted to get old text messages back or at least see them! ... But how?

The only way to recover deleted SMS/iMessages is to restore the device to a backup created after the message was sent but before it was deleted.

How can I upload my old text messages to Integrated Messaging?

I recently started using Verizon Integrated Messaging around a month ago and am now upgrading my phone (that has text messages for the last two years). Normally I could just take all my texts and send them, Android to Android via Verizon Cloud or a 3rd party program. However, I'm going to iOS from Android so those options aren't available (for reasons that still elude me...). In any case, I plan on using Verizon Integrated Messaging on the new iPhone since it seems to be a better option than iMessage. So, it would be awesome if I could upload all my old text messages to Verizon (which I saved via the Verizon Messaging app via the 'Backup' option), either to the website directly or my iOS device, or even directly from the old phone. But, that doesn't seem to be possible and I don't understand why - if I can restore old messages in my phone, why can't I restore them to the Verizon server? Any help would be appreciated - thanks!

How can i see my childs text messages and picture messages?

im trying to find away to see all messages on my childs phone anybody know how?

Hello brendagail,
Thank you for posting in our community! I know the importance of knowing your options for viewing text message content. Our children have phones and communicate primarily via text.
As SydneyK and budone advised, due to privacy laws, text message content is not available to view online. You are able to view text message times, dates, and the to/from numbers by signing into your My Verizon Account using the steps that AZSALUKI provided.
Please let us know if you have further questions.
Thanks,

How can I see the iPhone text message files on my computer?

I did a back up of my iPhone, how will I be able to see my text messages on the computer? I would like to keep a hard copy of my text messages from my iPhone.
Thanks.

Best way is to extract from your phone. You need third-party software to do so:

All of the sudden my entire text message history was deleted, but if I search for a text it shows up in the results but will not open. How can I restore the old text messages?

I went to text message on my phone and when I looked down my entire text message history was gone. When I sent a text message it showed up as the only box an there was not an Load Older Messages option. But when I page over and search a word or name old messages show up in the results and when I press on them it opens the text message page but there is no text message.

i think that was the problem. i simply downgraded to Firefox 5, not only because of the highlighted text fields, but because i was getting a lot of crash reports whenever i opened multiple tabs. downgrading to Firefox 5 resolved it.

How can i retrieve my old text messages?

I synced my iphone 5s to the computer for the first time and all my personal data was wiped such as text messages, photos, emails and contacts they were then replaced with my dads information? How do i get my stuff back?

Hello rosebud56,
I understand how important those precious memories are! Are your device settings and call logs still present on the phone? Did you change any settings or select the option to reset to factory settings? Have you restarted the phone since the messages disappeared? I am eager to continue troubleshooting with you!
Thank you,

How can I see the entire mail message without making it smaller font and not having to scroll to the right?

when i open a message in hotmail i have to scroll to the right to see the entire sentence. I did not have to do this before what has changed? Me or you?
Thanks

You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
*Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
*NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a high value can cause such issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"

How can i see my old massages

how can i see my old massages from my iPhone 4S

What type of message are you trying to find? If it is an e-mail message, did you move it to the saved folder? If it is a text message, did you save it also? You need to use the app that had the message. If you did not save it, then no, you will not see it.
