How to copy/move text message from phone to memory card/PC?

Messages in phone are not lost when you change your SIM card but if messages are stored in SIM card, you can copy then to phone.
To copy SIM messages to phone do the following: 1. Open Messages 2. Press Menu and select settings. 3. Scroll down and select "Manage SIM messages" 4. Select Messages in SIM and copy or move to phone memory Now when you change your SIM, these messages will remain in the phone
But, if you mean changing the phone, download a simple program called SMS backup & Restore. It will backup your messages to memory card in a file. You can save the file on pc and restore your messages to other phone when you change your phone.
Here is Android Market Link to download SMS Back & Restore:

Hi, issues like this are related to your Sim card (network),
not your Cell Phone . In most cases, regarding the text messages,
the problem is from the Service Operator. Have you tried the Sim card on another phone? If not,
remove the Sim card, insert it on another phone and try sending a message from another mobile to you number,
or you can do it in vise- versa by inserting another Sim card on your mobile.

If you can't receive text messages even when it's inserted on another handset,
then you will need to call the customer care of your Network Operator and tell
them your problem, they will help you fix it immediately.

You can check the message center number, but I don't think
it's very much important in your case, well, if you wanna try,
just check the text message settings and verify that the message
center number (which is currently in use) is the same number which
is on another phone with the same network (the other Sim should be
of the same network in your area). If it's different, make the changes
and save the settings. Also disable the "Receive Via" or similar settings..
(I can't recollect the exact settings as i don't have the same model with
me, please excuse me for this.).

If the same Sim card doesn't receive text messages using another handset,
don't bother to change the settings or to make any changes with it,
first call the customer care and verify from them, you may make mistakes instead of fixing it.


Hope that helps.

Thanks for using fixya.......

Once a sms, or text message has been deleted, it will b moved to the deleted folder (not all handsets have this feature) and there they can be retrieved. If your handset does not have this feature, then once the messages have been deleted then there is nothing you can do.

Just had this on my wifes phone. I did 2 things she had too many Apps & phone was showing out of memory in top left hand corner. 1) Delete large Apps 2) Select MESSAGES, MENU,SETTINGS,MENU, RESTORE DEFAULT SETTINGS. Hope this is of some help. Steve

I you click options for your photos, your should be able to move or copy it to else where. From there you can manage whether you want to move it under memory card or phone memory.

the messages will be stored in ypur phone memory .. and you will be deleting the files from memory card.. make sure that you delete the files from phone memory... then u can receive messages

please try to soft reset (restoring it to factory settings.. your device after taking backup of your data, as there might be a virus issue, so soft resetting the device shall solve your issues..

yes it is possible u can use sms back up softwere to take a back up and the same can be used in ur viva

Hi
The message centre number I believe is attached to the sim card. Try putting your sim into another handset and access message number on that and edit. When you move it back to HTC it should work. Hope that helps?

I had this problem ,also no notifications of voicemail as well as not being able to acces the messaging screen. I was just about to send the handset in for repair and decided to remove the 4gb micro sd card .turned the phone off ,removed the card,turned it on again ,bam messaging works again !! hope this can help someone else too :-)
