SMS backup software

---

Hi,

After some advice (after a few hours trawling the entire site btw!).....

I need to backup my sms messages to pc and was trawling for software. Thought I'd found just what I need in Power SMS, but it seems to crash midway through doing an export to csv format. I can backup in the proprietary format (just like i can with SPB backup) but not to a "standard" format like csv

Can anyone offer a suggestion please? Would prefer not to pay for a piece of software that is (seemingly) not being developed (like Power SMS) again, but will do if I have to.

Thanks in advance!

If you really do your search, you'd have found PPCPimBackup .. and there're some great tips on restoring (and getting the 6.1 conversation model) back.

I have never tried any of these, but here are a couple from a discussion in another forum that I frequent.

Like I said, I did - and after renaming the ZIP file to get to the pbm file within, the format was proprietary and neither text nor hex editor could extrapolate anything meaningful (i.e. no RegEx I could find to pull into a db). Perhaps if you looked at my length of membership, you'd have adjusted the assumption that I hadn't searched properly.


Thanks to the others - am looking at Mobile Express and godswmobile.........

Update: Efficasoft Mobile Express works a treat - thanks for the advice denco7

I apologize for being unnecessary harsh, and for not reading thoroughly what being asked for.

Now thanking you for testing and Denco for tips, though I'm one that keeps all my stuff mobile, on spare SD and never really use the sync to PC, as the PC at work is locked and it's something I use 90% of my time. Been doing that since my Symbian time

Good Coincidentally, I recently bought a apolsoft this software and using it, indeed to solve my problem, so I recommend it to you guys. Feel this company is very professional, so I trust him. Hope it help everybody.

Since I bought "Apolsoft Android SMS Transfer" and use it, no matter how many text messages I have, It can provide me a fast speed for backup. More importantly, It has its own desktop management tools, the ability to import text messages to the desktop management tools to edit, delete, print and other operations, Many free software can not do it and the software is very easy to use. So, I am very optimistic about this software, I hope my review could bring some benefits for you. This is not what the ad! !
