Is there a way to read text messages from the past in a thread that has been ongoing for months?

Is there a way to view/recover messages from months ago in a thread that has been ongoing? The messages are not deleted. If i just keep "loading new messages" a) it will take all day, I've tried, and b) it freezes on me.

Try the computer apps PhoneView (Mac) or TouchCopy (Mac & PC):

Both will allow you to archive your text messages to your computer and read them easily.

  • Is there any way to delete text messages from the external screen of an LG EnV3?

    The internal screen of my phone doesn't work, so I've been texting from the external key pad. But my inbox has gotten full and I can't receive texts anymore. Is there any way to delete texts using only the external screen of the EnV3?

    It was awhile ago and I'm not totally sure, but I think this was discussed and the conclusion was that you can't delete texts using the external screen of the Env3. **Edit  (Found one thread: http://community.vzw.com/t5/Messaging-Text-Picture-IM-etc/No-option-to-delete-text-messages-from-front-of-LG-enV3/m-p/43042#M1684 )  It came up in one other thread that I could find and the solution was to use the internal, and similar steps were given - the only difference was using the OK for Menu and #2 for Messages, rather than the left soft key for Messages.  vWhatever works... 
    What you CAN do, is open the flip, left soft key (which is the Messages menu), and there are several options - these are the text messaging ones -
    1. New Message
    2. Inbox (#)
    3. Sent (#)
    4 Drafts (#)
    Press the right soft key (options) and your choices are:
    1.Erase Inbox
    2.Erase Sent
    3.Erase Drafts
    4.Erase All
    If you choose Erase All, then OK - it will erase all except unread messages, and locked messages. If you choose any of the numbers, then hit OK, it will erase ALL in that category, read or not, so I would choose Option 4 to erase all but the unread.
    HTH, and post back if you have further questions...

  • Is there any way to print text messages from an iPhone 3gs?

    Is there any way to print text messages from an iPhone 3GS?

    The only ways to print any text messages from any of the iOS devices is to either do a print screen and then print those photos, or you could look for a program called TouchCopy that will allow you to download the SMS to the computer and you can handle them from there.

  • HT3529 is there any way to download text messages from my phone to my laptop?

  • HT5622 is there a way to recover text messages from my apple account  if we share an account

    I share an apple account with my kids and want to know if there is a way to recover their text messages or imessages thru the account?

    Yes, you can extract text messages and imessages from iCloud backup with the help of an iCloud backup extractor. Also, there are other ways to retrieve deleted text messages from iPhone, just follow the steps.

  • Is there a way to bar text messages from certain phone numbers?

    I keep getting junk text messages and would like the ability to treate text messages from certain numbers as junk. I think this is an increasing issue and it would be great if messages could bar the SMS or move them to a junk folder like email. It would also be useful if this could be linked to iCloud and the barred list shared amoungst users.
    Does any know if this functionality exists already?

    The only way SMS's can be blocked is through your carrier, there is no other way. So, contact your carrier to see if they offer SMS blocking.
    Note: In the US, SPAM SMS's are illegal.

  • Is there a way to view text messages from my S5 on a desktop computer?

    I am on traveling over spring break for vacation in Punta Canta?  I turn off texting because it could get expensive out of country but wondering if I can view on my laptop?
    I will have my laptop and access to wifi at hotel.
    Please let me know.  Thanks.

        We want to keep you connected while so far from home, atomarchio1! If the device is not on or set to receive messages then they will not be able to be viewed on a computer. We offer the VZ Messages application to integrate the messages but the phone must be able to receive those same messages. Check out http://www.vzw.com/tripplanner to review options for roaming while in Punta Cana. I hope you have an awesome trip!

  • I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone.

    I just bought an new ipad mini with wifi and cellular. Is there any way to send text messages to people and contacts that do not have iphones such as friends with blackberrys or a samsung galaxy smartphone from this ipad. Everytime I try to send a message to a person that does not have an Apple product ( Iphone or Ipad ) it comes up saying contact is not registered for iMessage and wont send it. I can only send them a message from my iPhone 4 instead. Do I have to install a new App from the App store to send these non iMessage cell users a message?
