Online Backup Assistant and Text Messaging address books

It appears that my contact list as found in Backup Assistant is totally separate from my address book as found on the Send a Text Message page.
Am I correct?
If so, is there a way to copy my Backup Assistant contact list to my Send a Text Message address book?
If there is no way to synchronize these lists, I would request that such a feature be added.

Am I correct? Yes, that is correct. The backup Assistant is synced to your actual phone, and the address book for vtext. com is limited to the contacts you enter there and text through that method.
If so, is there a way to copy my Backup Assistant contact list to my Send a Text Message address book? I don't believe there is. I'm not sure there is a way to import ANY contact list to the vtext.com pages, at this point.
If there is no way to synchronize these lists, I would request that such a feature be added. Let's hope someone who can do something will see this and pass along the suggestion....

My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone. You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
How in the world would you expect to get data back?

URGENT-Does Erase all Data and restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup??

Does restoring from a previously made backup permanently delete text messages after that backup?
I made a Icloud back up two days ago. I have text messaged and sent emails since. I haven't backed up again yet and I was wondering that if I erase my phone and back up to that Icloud Back up made two days ago, the texts and emails I have sent SINCE then will be permanently deleted? AKA they can never be found again by anyone?

That is correct you can only get back data that was backed up.

Bluetooth phone and text messaging

Is there a way to text message on my MacBook and then send it to my phone? Sure would make things a lot easier

if you mean can you text via your mobile phone with your macbook then yep you can, as long as your phone supports bluetooth.
sync your mobile phone and mac with isync, to get all your contacts from your mobile phone, and then open address book. it should display all your contacts form your phone. click on the little bluetooth icon in the toolbar in address book and it should try to pair your mobile phone and macbook.
once you've done that, you can ctrl-click on the phone number of a contact and select SMS message, and it will let you send a message to that contact.
if you leave address book open and paired with your mobile phone it will also display recieved messages and calls on the macbook, and let you reply to recieved messages.
Address book is also a really cool way to organise your mobile phone contacts, to add addresses and other numbers - its loads easier than doing it on your mobile.
isync also syncs calender information from ical - which is handy if you continue to forget to pay credit card bills like myself...

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?

Why does my 3G iPhone no longer rings nor vibrates when receiving calls and text messages?
During a two weeks process, little by little I notice my phoe doesn't ring when I get a phone call. So Far I have missed 22 calls that I am aware of. Moreover, the phone does not alert me when I get a text message. Sometimes I receive notice the next day that I received a call or a text message.

Follow the basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the user guide... reset, restore from backup, restore as new.

How can I recover all my phone numbers and text messages from before?

I was trying to update the software, and ended up reseting to its original factory settings. Lost all my contacts and text messages, Is there any way that I can recover all that info and go back to my previous settins?

if you are using your iPhone as recommended, contacts are synched to a supported contact manager like Outlook, or with a cloud service like MobileMe or Google. You can just resynch those contacts.
Text messages are backed up every time you synch, so you can try and restore from your most recent backup. However, any new texts sent/received since the last backup are lost.

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?

How can I disable e-mail and text messages when I'm close to or over my data quota ?
Is this possible? I don't see any options?
All I see is this:
Receive confirmations of many account transactions via Email and/or free Text Alerts delivered right to your cell phone. You can receive these confirmations for
   transactions done online, over the phone or from your handset. Account management Text Alerts do not count against any Messaging allowances.
      Your bill is ready for review.
     Payment Confirmations: Your payment has been received    Your credit/adjustment     has been applied.1
     Account Activity Confirmations     Plan changes     Feature changes1

What phone?
You would need to disable data on the phone itself. You wouldn't do it online on your account.
Note also that text messages do not count toward your data allowance.

A very good friend of mine dropped her iphone into water and now it is not working.Her husband recently passed away and text messages from him and from well wishers after his decease are feared lost. Is there any way to retrieve them?

A very good friend of mine dropped her iphone into water and now it is not working.Her husband recently passed away and text messages from him and from well wishers after his decease are feared lost. Is there any way to retrieve them?
I suggested contacting Compub in Nassau St as the info is priceless and worth the trouble of trying to regain?
Any thoughts? The poor lady is very distress

If she has backed up her iPhone she can replace that iPhone and set up the new iPhone from her backup.
You can put the iPhone that went into water into a plastic baggie with either new silica gel packets (preferred) or raw rice and let it sit for 4 - 5 days. After that time remove the phone and connect it to power for at least a half hour. While it is still connected to power reset it by holding down the power and hold button, wait for the Apple logo then let go of the buttons. Might take several tries. If it revives immediately back it up.

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1, I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost?

I have an iPhone 4s iOs 5.1.1,( I know I need an update!) I want to update it to iOs 7, if I've backed up to iCloud will my contacts, pictures and text messages be saved and able to be restored if lost? I recently backed up to the iCloud as recently as this morning at 2AM.

OCD with good reason
With a second backup, as you now have, you are well protected. The update makes a backup to use for restoring after the install but with another you should be in great shape.
Just take you time and be patient, these can take a while to complete depending on server load, connection speed, etc.

How do I get my Blackberry to only show me email and text messages? OS 6.0

I'm in a love/hate relationship with OS 6.0 on a Bold 9650
It is giving me too much information. I only want to see and be notified of email and text messages, but it is now showing me Calendar and Facebook messages and notices.
Can I change the settings and turn off these items? I can't find anything on it.
Thanks!!! SheriGNP
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Facebook messages: Open Facebook > press the Menu key > Options > scroll down to and UNselect the option to integrate Facebook with your Messages application.
For both Facebook and Calendar notifications, go to your profiles and set the notications for these two apps to be silent or no notification.
Untill you learn many of the simple features of the BlackBerry 9650, you will be frustrated.

HT1296 How do I pull up photos and texts messages from my old iphone if i dont have it anymore

How do i pull up old photos and text messages from an iphone I no longer have

You don't, unless you have a backup of that device. If you have a backup of that device when the photos and messages were on it, then you would need some 3rd party software to examine the bakups.

iPhone 6

Just setting up my iphone 5, and its syncing everything from my previous iphone, except my photos and text messages. Ive been trying to fix this now for about 4-5 hours. Help!!!!!!

So, I backed up my iphone 4. Set up my iphone 5, pressed sync and it did its job. However, its seems to have synced everything except my photos and text messages. Basically the most things I use on my phone! Ive searched for solutions all over the internet, tried them all and still no luck. this is driving me crazy, been working on it for hours now. someone please help!
Much appreciated

You do not sync text messages.
Did you restore the iPhone 5 from a backup of your old phone?
If not, do so to put everything back. This is assuming you want/need you sms messages.
Pictures should already be on the computer, then they can be synced to the device.

Backup Assistant network unavailable messages?

I've been getting this message since I did the update last week. Can anyone suggest a solution to me or point me to an existing conversation about this? Thanks!

Also if the information it on Backup assistance and you still cant access the backup I suggest Try Importing all contacts to Google and then all you have to do is check the double entries and select delete..
1. Log into Verizon Backup Assistant
2. Click on Export to CSV
3. Save File as (or Rename to) Contacts (it should already be converted to CSV so including .csv is redundant)
4. Log into Gmail/Google Voice
5. Click on Contacts
6. Click on Import
7. Browse for the Contacts (.csv) file
8. Click Import
9. Disable BA by going to Settings / Applucations . Manage Applications / All Tab / Sync Service / Clear All
All contacts on youir device should sync to Google... Now I do say should because no software is perfect.

Does iphone sync to laptop include "notes" and text messages?

I want to be able to print out the notes in my "Notes" app and also text messages - does syncing the iphone to my mac laptop enable access to/ability to print these 2 things??? If not, is there a way to print Notes and Text messages?? Thanks! Donna

Notes sync to OS X's Mail app if so selected in the iTunes preference pane. SMS's do not sync, but are included in the iPhone backup. If you want to access SMS's on your computer, the easiest thing to do is get this & extract them from your phone:
http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/
Alternatively, you can copy them to an email and then mail that to yourself. If you have not selected sync notes in iTunes, make sure you have at least one unique note created on your computer before doing so. This will generate a merge or replace prompt when you do select to sync notes, select merge.
