How to sync old text messages to a new phone?

Does anyone know how to transfer old text messages from a 4 g phone to a new 4 g (replacement phone)? I've tried Itunes several times and it didn't work.

  • Phone died. How do I retrieve text messages that were on phone?

    Phone died.  How do I retrieve text messages that were on phone.

    Unfortunately, unless you had them backed up and stored elsewhere (like on the SD card or your computer), they most likely aren't retrievable.
    Are you sure the phone is completely dead?  Have you tried holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously for 15-20 seconds to see if that will reboot the phone?

  • Ovi Suite won't sync old N82 messages to my new X6

    Using the latest Ovi suite (updated through updates, not sure v number though)
    I received an X6 today. Seems pretty nice so far.
    However, had some issues transferring text messages between phones - it broke the dates on the MMS and left me with a bit of a messy inbox on my X6. 
    So, I synced messages using Ovi suite from my old N82, and they all copied onto my PC fine.
    However, if I now connect my X6 to my PC and hit sync messages, it just says 'done', and doesn't copy my messages from my PC to my X6.
    Is there any way to do this? I'd like to keep all my old texts from my N82 and transfer them to my X6.
    Solved!

    Hey,

    Are you talking about MMS also or only SMS?  I'm bit confused, if its related to MMS too, NOS does not support MMS.
    If its related to text messages, then same has to be checkd

  • How do you send text messages from mac to phones on yosemite?

    Just downloaded the new Yosemite and trying to send text messages from my mac to non iPhone users, how do you do this new feature?

    I think you need to wait on this for iOS 8.1.  Apple Messaging works now, but via SMS you need your phone linked.

  • Old text messages combining with new text messages

    When I send a text message one good message is sent out along with another text message that is a combination of my current message and some random message from months ago that has already been deleted. The message will occasionally also contain CL_IOS. any ideas on why this is happening

        That's definitely an odd combination, caseyhemmes. Are you using the default message application? Did you recently activate this device? What was your previous device? Can you please check the following settings: Select your Message application>Menu>Settings>Uncheck Enable signature if currently checked.

  • Why won't my new iphone 5 sync my text messages from my old iphone 4S

    I have managed to sync all other items on to my iphone5 but the texts are not syncing. I also cannot find a section under the sync options to select texts messages - I thought this would automatically transfer from the backup of the content of my old iphone 4S.
    Anyone know how to sync old texts messages across?
    Thanks!

    YOu don't sync text message, they are part of your backup.  IF you backup your 4s and restored your 5 from that backup, text message should be on your new phone.

    you sync contacts/calendar/music/photos and apps to your phone via itunes.

  • How do I get my old text messages from my iPhone to my new Galaxy?

    Recently, I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy 4.  I upgraded my account from Sprint and got my new phone at Best Buy.  I'm trying to get into my iTunes because I know I recently synched my iPhone on my iTunes a little over a week ago.  What I'm trying to do is get into my iTunes because I know my iCloud is backed up on iTunes.  I got all of my contacts and pictures already transferred from my iPhone to my Galaxy.  Now, that last thing I'm really worried about is my old text messages. There is this old text message that I'm needing to save, but I can't seem to figure out how to get my old text messages to my new phone.
    Is there some way I can get those back or what I need to go to Geek Squad to help me with this?

    Apple has not designed the iPhone for loading up old messages across phone platforms.
    Screenshot the important stuff on the Android or use a tool to archive the old SMS on your computer.

  • 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 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 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!
