How to Transfer Text Messages to New Phone

Hi, I have recently upgraded my phone to a Galaxy SII from a Samsung GT-S3350. Is there any way I can transfer my text messages (Inbox and Sentbox) from the GT-S3350 to the Galaxy SII? I have used the Samsung Kies program to transfer my Contacts, Music and Pictures, but there doesn't seem to be any option within the program to transfer text messages. I would really appreciate any suggestions? Thanks.

After getting a new phone, like Android phone or iPhone, you may like to transfer text messages with important or sensitive information from the old phone to it. Therefore, you can read the text messages on your new phone.

It's mainly used to help you transfer data between phones and tablets running iOS, Symbian and Android. With its help, you can transfer all text messages on your old Android phone, Nokia phone and iPhone to the new Android phone or iPhone in one click.

Download this tool to try transferring text messages to the new phone. Here, I'd like to give the Windows version a shot.

How to transfer text messages to the new phone

Step 1. Run this phone transfer tool on the computer

To begin with, install and run MobileTrans on the computer. The primary window will be shown on the computer screen. Click Phone to Phone Transfer. This brings up the phone transfer window.

Note: To transfer data to or from iPhone, iPad and iPod, you should install iTunes on the computer.

Step 2. Connect your old and new phones to the computer

As I mentioned above, MobileTrans lets you export SMS on the old Nokia phone, Android phone and even iPhone, and then copy them to your new iPhone or Android phone. So, connect two phones that you want to do the SMS transfer to the computer with USB cables. After detected, the old phone is shown on the left, named as the source phone, and the new Android phone or iPhone, the destination phone appears on the right.

"Clear data before copy", the tab under the destination phone, is used to clear up the current SMS box on the destination phone before copy. Check it when you decide to only save the SMS from the old phone. Besides, "Flip" between two phones lets you change the places of the two phones.

Step 3. Transfer texts to new phone

Besides text messages, MobileTrans empowers you to transfer other files, like contacts, music and photos. Therefore, remove the marks before other files when you just want to move text messages to the new phone. Then, click "Start Copy". Please never disconnect either phone before the transfer is done. When it's done, click "OK"
