Using MPT to backup the SMS messages from your PHONE to your PC

MPT has a feature where it can copy the SMS Text Messages from your phone, to your PC allowing you to save them or back them up to the PC.... However, you can NOT write them from the PC to the Phone... i.e. you can not restore your SMS Text Messages to the phone.

When it comes to MPT and SMS messages... use Menu -> Recieve -> In Box... it presents you with a window showing folders... the PHone's OUTBOX is displayed as SENT Messages in MPT... If the data wasn't read from the phone, from that window you can do a Tools -> Send/Receive -> Retrieve SMS... and it will read it in...

From there, you CAN export the "sent messages" to a plain text file on the PC... by doing FILE -> SAVE AS...

Of course, using MPT, you can also export the Inbox by doing a FILE -> Save As...

But MPT only exports the SELECTED messages... so you must select them ALL before you do the save as...

Also, MPT will save every selected message as its own text file on the PC... i.e. if you have 5 messages selected to save in MPT, it will make 5 individual text files on the PC... Where as BitPim puts all in one text file...

For info on doing this with BitPim info see the BITPIM Page
