Upload text messages from phone to PC

I want to extract my text messages from my phone (in raw and readable format, be it xml or whatever it may be) to my PC.

I have PIMBackup of my phone/messages but I am not able to read those messages via my computer.

How can I go about doing this?

Thank you.

Where on the phone are the text messages located? And how do you read those messages once you have them on your PC?

Thanked.

If I remember right, pimbackup does work, BUT, you have to UNcheck the compress option before you make your backup. If I remamber right you can open it in notepad.

It would be easiest if you only backed up your texts at this time to...

Just use myphone.

It loads all your text msgs to your myphone account online and you can read them on there.

Re: Upload text messages from phone to PC

Use PIMbackup without compression/encryption and send the backup to your computer. Change the extension of the file from ".pib" to ".zip". Open the zip file with your favorite zip program (I suggest WinRAR) and find the file named "msgs_XXXXXXXX.csm" with the X's being the date of the backup in YYYYMMDD format. Open the file and it will contain your texts. The texts are a bit garbled, but you can get what you need from them.

Edit: If I had VB or VC# on this computer, I'd write up a quick program that could extract all the messages to make them easier to read.
