How do you get txt messages to Orbit from MDA Compact II?

[JC#79]

Hi guys,

I have gotten most of my setting over to this great phone but I am having a problem with finding a way of getting my old txt messages to my new handset.

I don't really wanna forward them on as they will not state who they were originally from.

I have tried to backup the messaging folder using Sprite backup and all that did was put the txt messages there but I lost the folders and ability to use MMS. :eek:

Can anyone suggest where I may find the files (texts) and where then to replace them on my new handset?

Ok free bump anyone know how to help with this one? :confused:

Pocket pc's save them to phone memory and read from there, unless you have a special program to do otherwise ;-)

No I have no program to do this, all I want to do is copy the old messages from my old handset to the new one.

I have tried to copy to the sim then back to phone but my old MDA Compact II does not have that option. :(

Does anyone know where on the phone they are stored so I could copy them over etc?

There is no simple way to copy sms messages - if you try copying the contents of your messaging folder they do not appear under text messages.

Search and you will find my friend - if you did you would of found this:

Jeyo mobile extender http://www.jeyo.com/extender.asp

It will copy messages to outlook on pc then you can sync with new device

or smsOrganizer v2.10 for WM2005/WM2003SE where you can also backup your texts. http://www.zedsoft.net/

If you follow the Upgrade mode FAQ, step by step here

you should be able to restore the sms messages to your MDA Compact II

Note you should make a full backup, not just the email database, but all databases

Thanks for that its good to know wish I had seen this before as I had to load everything from scratch. :(

Can recommend Jeyo mobile extender has a few things they can improve on but is great for txting from keyboard (PC)
