SMS To a file

[tryinghard]

Hello,

I have a Sprint TP2. Is there a way to copy the sms's on my phone to an excel or csv file?, If yes, then can someone please elaborate the process. Will really appreciate the help.

Cheers....

Not sure about exporting to an Excel file, are you just trying to back them up?

[tryinghard]

No, not backing them up, but kindda put into excel to do some analysis....

hmm well idk about excel, but you can try cloudsms back up, it backs up to ur email, but its all just text, do you can copy and paste it into excel and do god knows what lol, but yeah, google it

another option is microsoft mymobile it keeps it at the website

Eh, use PIM backup. With that, "back up" your txt msgs only, and don't do a compressed format.

Then, view the file and it'll be in a CSV format. That isn't that friendly, but once you filter out some things it'll be easily usable. I used that for court proceedings when I had to provide evidence! It has date/time stamp with a lot of other things that might be useful to you

Another option would be PowerSms by..Trinket Software. Just looked and the export SMS function exports to an Excel (.csv) file. I wont be at a laptop for awhile but pm me for more info and the "trial" software.

I have been using Efficasoft Mobile Express - exports sms to a text file; but not sure if format is conducive to importing into excel for analysis.
It's a free download - here is link to the site - http://www.efficasoft.com/mobileexpress/index.htm
