[Q] Migration from iPhone to Galaxy S

---

Hello and respect to all XDA members

I have a question

What is (if it exists) the method through which one can transfer SMS and Contacts from an iPhone to a Samsung Galaxy S?
For contacts I used my google account ... but for SMS?

Thank you in advance!

If you want only your phone contacts to be transferred, you can try this:

1) Export all your contacts as vCard files
2) Connect the phone to your computer and mount the internal storage
3) Copy all the vCard files into the root of the mounted drive
4) Goto Contacts -> Menu -> Options -> Import/Export -> Import from SD Card

Worked flawlessly for me as I didn't want all my contacts on the cloud.

For SMS:

1. Copy your sms.db from your iPhone to your pc (this needs jailbreak and and an iphone explorer on your computer) - the file should be in /var/Mobile/Library/SMS
2. Upload the sms.db to this site -> http://faked.org/isms2droid/ it will convert the sms.db to an xml format android can read.
3. On Android, there's a free app named SMS Backup & Restore, where you can import the xml file.

I did that too and it worked flawlessly with 3000 messages that were 2.5 years old (I am too lazy to delete any messages...)

Great, thanks! I've been missing my old SMS Messages

XQC's post is great, however, it would be great if there's an arabic language support as the exported xml file gives (?) question marks on all arabic letters.
