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

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.
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?
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/
Thanks Mark just uploaded Jeyo mobile extender and it does all I am looking for so I'll enjoy the trial and may even end up buying it?

If you follow the Upgrade mode FAQ, step by step here
https://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/...earch=Search&area=0&criteria=0&sort=0&start=0
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)

Check the Club Nokia web site. I used to have a Nokia phone, and they have a software suite that will allow you to export contacts from Outlook to most of their phones.
http://www.nokiausa.com/A4986252
You can Sync your contacts to your PC, then use the Nokia Suite to copy them from Outlook to your Nokia.
Note that if you don't have access to a Nokia data cable, in many cases you can sync with Infra-Red. I had an old Nokia 6610 and used IR from my laptop to keep my contacts up-to-date.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!
just install this, plug into activesync and you can view your phone from your desktop...therefore you can just copy everything to the sim and you should be all set.

New Tilt2 for wife...SIM/contacts from Blackjack2 HELP!

Just got a Tilt2 for the wife but I really really really really really don't want to manually save each contact to the SIM from her Blackjack2. Is there some secret on how to save all to SIM? P.S. I have no way to sync the BJ2 to my PC.
I'm not too familiar with WinMo Standard that the Blackjack2 runs. But here are some ideas...
Is Microsoft MyPhone available for WinMo Standard? If so, you can use that.
Or perhaps Google Sync?

You can just sync the blackjack to outlook and then sync the Tilt2 to outlook. Or use the program PIM Backup to back them up from the blackjack and restore them onto the Tilt2.

Pixel 2XL to Iphone XS Max...Move to iOS not working

Hi all,
I know this might be blasphemy but I wanted to try using an iPhone XS Max, but the move to iOS app will not connect the iPhone to my Pixel 2XL. It will connect fine with my old Nexus phone running android 8.0.
Has anyone tried using the move to iOS app using android 9.0 and/or the Pixel 2XL?
I tried on a OnePlus on 9.0.. it didn't work either.
I did this exact same swap. Pixel XL2 to iPhone XS Max. I love the new phone very much. I could not get the swap app to work either. I am getting by without anything transferred. I did a backup of my sms to Gmail and also use google photos on my iPhone. I really don’t need much else.

Thanks, could you let me know how you did the sms backup to Gmail? Did that allow you to transfer your texts to the iPhone or are they just stored in gmail for reference?
I didn’t get the sms to transfer from the Pixel to the iPhone unfortunately. I even purchased a piece of software online and it showed the texts and went through all of the actions but never showed up on he messages app of the iPhone. I believe it was called dr.fone swap. The app I used on the pixel was called backup+ and it added a sms label in gmail and threaded all of the sms messages together just like a gmail conversation. Good luck!
Well if it helps anyone, I was able to get texts transferred using my old Nexus phone running Android 8. I transferred all my texts using sms backup and restore and the iPhone connected to the Nexus and transferred everything. The only thing that seems impossible to transfer is whatsapp messages, but I'll settle for that.

Transfer messages from iPhone X to LG Wing

Hey all, I'm very new to this, so please be nice.
I recently decided to break up with Apple, and I bought the LG WIng. Using Google Drive, I've been able to move contacts, pictures, etc. from my iPhone X to my new LG Wing. The problem I'm having is that I cannot transfer message history.
To add a lyaer of complexity, I do not have a computer. There are instruction on how to transfer messages using computer software, even iTunes, but I have access to none of this.
I read about an app called LG Mobile Switch, which can supposedly transfer messages with a cable. However, this app does not seem to be available in Apple's App Store.
Curious to know if anyone else has had this problem and what they did to overcome it.
Thanks

Not sure from an iPhone. I just used SMS backup but I was going from Android to Android. And it worked just fine.

Sorry for the delayed reply. To transfer text messages from iPhone X to LG wing, maybe you can try phone transfer tool like Coolmuster Mobile Transfer, MobileTrans, Easeus Mobimover, etc. Such tool can help us transfer text messages and other data like contacts, books(pdf&epub),music, videos, photos from iPhone to Android phone. Usually, they are not free. You need to pay for the full version. About the details, please search online. Hope this will be your help.
