New blackberry old pAYG sim old text messages not showing anywhere?

Hi Can someone help a real technophobe? I bought a Blackberry 8520 and inserted my old sim (PAYG) same network. I really need all my old text messages approx 100 on my new phone but they're no where to be seen. I put the sim card back in my old phone and they were there but in the BB 8520 they're not. Anyone any ideas of how I can get my old text messages on to the new BB? How many old text messages can a BB 8520 hold? New to all this. I've tried taking the battery out and inserting it to reboot but nothing seems to work.
Thanks.

I got a new iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad now, how do I stop them from showing up on my iPad?

I just switched from a iPhone 4S to iPhone 5S and now my text messages are showing up on my iPad as well as my phone. How to I turn this feature off and just keep them on my phone?

This is for imessage - go to settings - message - send&receive and start a new convo - remove or uncheck the apple id.

Text messages not showing up under "View Messaging Details"

I have sent and received texts that I've deleted and need to find the phone numbers. Do all texts show up on the usage reports on My Verizon? It looks like some are missing...

The text message details are available for 90 days. This will not include any iMessages as those are send via data.

Paid bill but text messages not showing up

My phone got disconnected on Monday because I didn't pay my bill. I'm on the allset $45 a month pre-paid plan. I did some research and saw that if someone texts you, verizon keeps the messages for 5 days and if someone texts you after 5 days the texts are deleted. I text myself from my mom's phone as a test today before I paid my phone (and i sent texts to myself on previous days) I got disconnected monday and my phone was back in service today on friday. When I texted myself I got "insufficient funds to send message" I paid my phone today and I never received the text messages that I sent myself. Why aren't they showing up? Now im wondering if any of my contacts texted me while my phone was not in service.

Hello van29! My apologies that your service was interrupted. Once the service is interrupted, the text messages are not guaranteed to be sent or received. Any questions, please do not hesitate to reach out to our Prepaid Department at 888-294-6804. They can certainly address any additional questions you may have. Thanks in advance and have a great day!

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.

HT201269 hi, my new device was set up in the store that I bought it from. How can I transfer all old text messages over to my new device? I have followed the icloud back up steps on this page. Please help, thank you.

HELP - N8 Adds old text messages to new created

Since I did a *#7370# reset of my N8 to solve the Ovi Sync issue I have the problem that when sending an text message the N8 adds old text messages to it.
Even text from messages that where deleted a long time ago from my phone are apparently stored somewhere on the phone and appear at the end of the new created text messages.
I have done a *#7370# reset again but the problem keeps alive and kicking.
Also a restore of only my contacts and calendar data doesn't help.
Thanks!
Edit : Found out that there also other recipients are added to the message. So the text message is not only sent to the original recipient but also to others from my phonebook.

I'm still not 100% sure what causes this problem.
I've found messages from a few others and it seems that the problem begins after the restore of a backup.
In my case that's also when it happend, I had done a reset and a restore and after that it was a sort of living it's own life.
For me the solution was to do another reset, I did the "hard reset" with the buttons pushed, and after the reset I only restored the calendar data and the contacts data.

I upgraded my iphone to 5.0.1 and ever since, it has decided to delete old text messages. Only with one contact though, not everybody. So for every new text message I send this person, an old one gets removed. Why? I don't want this to happen.

Connect the phone directly to the computer, not a hub.
Disconnect all other USB devices except keyboard and mouse.
Disable your firewall
Disable your antivirus
In iTunes if it recognizes the phone click "Restore"
If it doesn't recognize the phone:
Disconnect the phone from the phone end, leave the USB cable plugged into the computer
Hold the HOME and SLEEP buttons until the screen turns black, excactly 10 seconds, then release the SLEEP but continue holding the HOME (If an Apple logo appears you have held SLEEP too long; do it over)
While holding HOME connect the cable to the phone
As soon as iTunes recognizes the phone release the HOME button and it should restore.
If neither procedure works note the exact error message and post it.

How to sync old text messages to a new phone?

Transferring old text messages to new computer

Hi. I have Nokia suite in an old computer. I have access to approx. 16000 messages!!
I need to wipe my computer to upgrade windows. I know I can reinstall Nokia suite, but it seems to only be showing the current messages I have on my phone. (I tried this on another computer)
Is it possible to somehow save all those really old text messages going back years, and also videos and pictures, so that I will have access to them when I reinstall Nokia suite on the upgraded computer.
Thanks
Bronagh

Hi @bkenny13 ,
The messages are stored in database files as explained in
http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Nokia-Suite/Where-Does-Suite-Store-Sync-d-Messages-amp-in-What-Forma...
Videos and pictures are in the folders that you or Windows decided to use
Upgrading Windows can be a scary thing, especially if you do a clean install and restore manually afterwards. It is the best way to get a smooth running Windows, but please make sure that everything is copied to an external hard drive first, that way you have a way to find and restore things that you didn't know you were going to miss!

I bought my Iphone 4 from Sprint. I have little or no internet service. When I go into extended network areas, my phone sends old text messages to my friends, repeatedly. Is this a Sprint issue?

I bought my I-Phone 4s from Sprint. The salesman raved about how much faster my internet would be with Sprint, also told me 4g was being added my area, and it would be even faster. Well now 4g is here. All of my friends on AT&T enjoy 4g, while I am only getting 3g, my internet is so slow, I rarely use it!
Last week I visited the Sprint store where I purchased my phone, to find out what the problem was. They told me NONE of the I-Phones were capable of getting 4g?????? Wow, Has anyone else been blatantly lied to by Sprint.
The other issue I am having is: every time I leave my home area, and go into the extended area network, and then return into my home area, my phone starts resending old text messages to my friends, that they had recieved days ago!. Of course the Sprint Personnel argued with me and said those were just messages that never went through the first time. I have screenshots of the duplicate messages from my friends, phones.
My I-Phone was great for the first 2 months. this month my I-Phone has completely quit 3 times, Sprint says a tower is down every time I call in to report it.
Is anyone else having these problems with the I-phone 4s?

You are not alone on issues related to weak signals. It happens to us all regardless of the carrier in the US.
I have an iPhone4, legally unlocked with replaceable SIM that I use here In Australia, the US and Europe. I simply replace the SIM to phone accounts in other countries. Do have issues at home here in Australia from time to time, but many more problems in the US than any other country.
When the signal is weak, ususally 1 bar the phone does not have enough power to stay connected. It will attempt to receive and send, but is trying to process so much that the signal cannot cope.
If any employee from Sprint, ATT or any other carrier attempts to tell you it is you and not their system they are out right lying. Just as they lied when they told you that the iPhone was 4G. Some try to get around the issue by saying 3GLite, but that really does not apply either because of the mobiles frequency range.
In fact the Australian government fined Apple AUD$2.25 million + $330,000 in costs for advertising that the new iPad was 4G and LTE, which it is not. There is currently another legal challenge over the iPhone4S.
If you have anything in writing from Sprint that says 4G then you need to contact your states attorney general. At least file a complaint with both Sprint and the FCC. If they tell you it is 4G then they either are lying or they do not have a clue to the mobile.
When the signal is weak the phone keeps attempting to send anything that you have sent. Sometimes that means multiple sends if the signal keeps dropping to low and it has to try all over again.
One way around the problem is by using an internet or data based app like Viber or WhatsApp. Both are voice, text and data Apps that will use Wi-Fi first then 3G if Wi-Fi is not available. Because they use the data side of your mobiles plan it does not take as much power or size to receive or send. Plus, because they are primarily Wi-Fi then data bases they do not use as much time or text units. You can find them online or through the Apple App Store.
Iv used Viber for years because I can use it overseas or talk, video, text or msg internationally without use of any mobile plan time.
Rember to that in the states you have I think 72 days to return a mobile to the carrier without any charges.
I use ATT in the states and when I am at home here I get almost no signal ... I depend 99% on Viber or WhatsApp to even talk.

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!

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.

HT4137 Will doing this erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

I just looked read iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device. I've been having a few bugs, but do not want to lose my old text messages. Will setting up as a new device and then syncing erase old text messages? If so, is there any way to avoid losing them?

You will not lose text message, if you back up your phone correctly and then restore from that backup. If your going to restore your phone as new and not from backup, then your text will not be there until you decide to restore from that backup.
If you don't want to lose the message, take a look in the app store to see if you can transfer to your computer.

When transferring from a 3GS to a Iphone 5, will my old text messages transfer?

I'm transferring from a 3GS to a new IPhone 5. Will my old text messages and emails transfer via the cloud or from my computer?
Thanks.

"Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos)."
The messages should transfer, and the emails are attached to the email server so your inboxes will come back as well.
