Sorry not sure if this belongs here or not, but i was curious to know whether it is possible in any way to transfer my SMS's from my old iPhone to my HTC Desire?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Is there no way to save your SMS messages to the SIM card on an iPhone? I thought that was standard on most phones. If so, save to your SIM and then pop it in the Desire...not sure if the Desire will pick them up but it's worth a try

Hi, i got 2 quick questions about my tp2
First, is there anyway to choose where SMS(text messages) are saved on the phone? Its defaulted to save on my sim card, and i have no way of moving them to the phone storage or the external sd card... Is there a setting i can change or something?
Secondly, i dunno if anyone else is having this problem. Starting recently my friends started to complain that they are receiving my text messages all cut up and new text messages getting mixed up with parts from old text messages from long time ago...... I have no idea whats causing the problem, anyone have any ideas wuts going on?
thanks!
Is there a way to send my txt messages from Android to WM6.5? It's not that big of a deal but somethings If I am in a big conversation it gets split between the OSs (because I get the sudden urge to go to Android lol).
I'm looking for a way to handle this too, I hate when I get an important txt in android and then forget that I won't have in in winmo or vice versa.

Well, it's not a very good solution, but I suppose if you are on a GSM phone, you could copy the messages to the sim card, and transfer them 30 at a time...
As for the other better solution, I don't know of a software solution yet, but I think it's time to start developing one that will export them into an intermediate format, and re-import them from the same format on both windows mobile and android. Think PIM backup but for both android and WINMO...
Psst.
I have two SMS messages that I thought were deleted, but when I reboot my phone they show-up with what looks like an SD card icon in the upper right portion of the message. I have combed through my SD card and don't see any saved messages. I can't seem to find anything on the main memory.
Anyone else have this problem and figured out a way to permanently delete these messages?
For that matter, how do you permanently save a text?

Sound like they maybe saved to ur sim. Before my tp2 got busted I used to get sms alerts from 129 saved to the sim when people would leave me voicemails on tmobile us. With my backup cell it saved text to the sim when my inbox got full. U sound be able to deleted like ne other text if not try ur sim in a different cell & try it.
The question is, where is it saved on my sim? I've been through allmy folders and can't find it. When I delete it and reboot -- it's back again.
(I'll give it a try on my original tilt and see if that will work. Thanks.)
Hello everyone!
After looking through the forum and only finding threads about contacts, I decided to create a thread about my problem.
So here it goes:
Yesterday, I gave my old HTC Desire to my gf. She had a rather old and run-down Nokia and her SMS were saved to her SIM-Card.
I looked through the options of the phone, running CM9, but only found the option to delete the messages.
Is it possible to copy them to the phone?
If it is, how?
Thanks in advance!
I don't think this is possible - my Desire can't see any 'saved to sim' messages, which is a shame as I've a new sim and really want the old messages. Anyone with any luck with this? Even an adb pull/ command would do me - how do I access the sim?
try open the sms app then press menu then settings and look there. on my phone theres an option to manage sms on sim card, maybe u can move them there.

On my Android phone, there are only view/delete options in the SIM-card SMS management.
I can not move/copy the SMS from SIM card to new Android phone.
Is there any android app for this purpose ??
Pansi SMS... My MIUI messaging app didn't have the option to copy/move the messages from SIM to Phone Memory so I referred to my favorite messaging app, Pansi, yes it has this option

yes, @munchi 's answer is one of the apps.
try other sms apps. just search the net or playstore for other sms apps then check if it can copy sim messages to phone memory. sometimes stock sms has it, but other times you just need a different app that has that function.
There's handcent sms, go sms etc. , though i dont know if these have the function to copy sim messages. Theres also the "SIM manager" app in playstore by robotobia that can do that specific purpose and much more. Note that it doesn't work on all phones yet, but you may go check it out
I just tried robotobia's app on my galaxy Y. It can copy. But what should be classified as inbox, it became a sent message. I will contact the developer about this problem. So far, the only thing I find it useful for is to delete all sim messages in a flash. So i suggest finding a good sms app with this feature is still safer.
Hope this helps
Hello everyone,
I'm on the current AOKP Milestone (4.2.2) on a maguro (GSM version)
I have to switch between two sim cards from two different countries and I cannot send SMS from one of them (just reports an error without any further info "SMS could not be sent."). Which is really bad for me since I have to activate my data and minute plans by sms.
Tried this:

Still can't send sms.
Tried changing the SIM Card's messaging center on an old phone, still cannot send sms.
Is there any other way of changing the messaging center? Or is there at least a way to verify which one my phone is currently using?
Thanks a lot guys
What written there really is the solution. Putting the right number on SMSC field and clicking Update solved it for me.
Are you sure you put the correct number in and did a restart to make sure? Try googleing "<your carrier> SMSC" to find the number.
If nothing helps including trying on another phone, why not call the carrier for support?
Sorry for the late reply. I put the SIM card in an older phone and it gave me an error message saying it was a network error. Since it's a new SIM card that's possible so I'll have to contact the provider.
Yesterday a friend of mine ran out of battery on his iphone and put his sim card into my nexus and again it wasn't able to send sms. So he used another friend's iPhone and everything was fine. What's wrong there? SMS seems to be a difficult task for our nexus... or on android in general
