Does anyone know if it is possible to transfer your SMS messages from one phone to the other. I have upgrade from a BA to a Charmer and swopped the sims over. There are some personal texts I would like to save but not sure how to, transfer these from one phone to another. I could probably put in another sim and forward them to myself but was hoping there would be an easier method to perform this.
Thanks JD76

Unless I've missed something...
I cannot find a way to forward a phone number to someone else via a sms or in the form of a business card.
Even my old and battered Nokia 6230 work phone can do that via sms..
The Orange M3100 (TyTN) is supposed to be a business user type phone. This feature is something I make use of and don't seem to be able to perform with the M3100..
I've tried to copy the number and paste it with no luck. Is there a way to do it ???
Here's hoping

You can't, and it's Microsoft fault. In fact, with WM5 there are many things can't be done that are usual on regular or Symbian-based phones. E.g. I was shocked that I can't even read SMSes stored on my SIM card!
The rumor is that this feature should appear in AKU3.0.
Dear Group, i've only had the quickest of looks at my new Wizard cos its a xmas prezzy lol. Anyways, just to check it works i put my SIM from my mobile fone into it and sent myself a SMS message. Sure enough it worked, only a message popped up saying that it was full and i need to delete some messages (or words to that effect)
But from where? I find it a wee bit confusing to tell the truth. On my mobile i can save about 20 texts to the SIM and 200 to the phone memory, can i do the same thing with my Wizard?
The SIM that i put in has texts saved to it, but how would i access them in the Wizard.
And, while i hopefully have your attention, is there anyway to save texts from different contacts into different folders? And even better, is there a way to filter them out automagically?
All help gratefully received
After my Vario II gradually slowed to a halt and stopped receiving calls or sending text messages, I finally had to admit defeat and do a hard reset (not bad going though, I managed 4 months without hard resetting)
I am now going through the long process of getting everything back the way I like it (I stupidly didn't have a backup program installed!). I am sure I found a registry tweak to store, by default, all of my SMS text messages to my storage card and looking at the contents of my card, I do have a folder which seems to agree with this as it does look like it is full of my most recent SMS messages, but I can not, despite searching for a few hours, find the tweak to do this again.
Can anyone help? I have found something about temporary internet files but nothing about SMS/text messages.
Thanks in advance for any help.
I am just bumping this in the hopes that someone may be browsing who knows the answer .. I shall keep my fingers crossed. Thanks.
first post virgin
One I usually do when I want to preserve my SMS messages is use SPB backup, and select just the emails/messages to be backed up, this will back em up to the memory card as an exe.
when your happy with your new "build" on your phone simply run the exe and the messages are back.
Hope that helps?
Thanks for that Craig. I will give SPB Backup a go, it really would make sense for me to install a backup program, it would have made the recent hard reset less painful as far as reinstalling stuff was concerned
I am still interested in knowing where the registry entry is for the sms storage location because I would like to be able to access the various messages I appear to have on my storage card ... I can't for the life of me remember how I managed to change the location to get them on there in the first place, it was several months ago and I have't bothered to save the post/webpage I got the info from .. silly me!
Thanks
Check out Jeyo mobile extender for outlook, everytime you sync with your ppc via activesync and outlook it will back up your sms to outlook.
Not quite the same, but efficasoft Mobile express will allow you to send messages from your PC through a connector when the PPC is connected to active sync.
You can see your messages in the softwares in box, and export them to a text file thus backing them up but you cant import them back into the phone unfortunatly
I was wondering if it was possible to import old sms/text messages which reside on the sim card. I just got the phone and looked through basically all the options that I could find and none allowed me to change this. I have an imate sp5 also and that allowed me to easily import the sim messages. I believe it can but I dont know how or maybe there is some program that can help?
I haven't tried this myself (not a big fan of SMS) but you might want to...

Your question is confusing, are you wanting the sms program? Every rom I have tried so far has sms included. Maybe give a little more info on what your wanting and someone could point you in the right direction.
Confusing boog321 is an understatement ,more like a totally weird request, are you on about picture messages and being able to receive them or just receiving standard txt messages.
Or are you on about transferring your sms messages to your PC from your Wizard? If so use PPCPim Backup or use Jeyo Mobile Extender which will allow you to transfer the sms's to a folder in outlook.
As boog321 stated please clarify what it is exactly that you wish to do.
