Transfer SMS from Android to iPhone

[ziffy]

I can move my contacts from Android to Iphone with no problem.

However I'm having difficulty finding utilities that will allow me to transfer my SMS from Android to iPhone. Can anyone help?

Thanks!

If you are keeping the Android phone, you can still access the old messages on that phone. There is no need to try to transfer them if you are just keeping them for historical purposes.

I suggest finding a program that will allow you to back up all your texts to gmail. That way you'll have them.

Yes. You can use SMS Backup + to save the messages to your gmail.

What OP wants to do is actually import his old SMSs into the iPhone's SMS database. I have been wanting to do this too, but I don't think there is a reliable solution out there.

I found the following article from someone who sounds like he knows what he's doing, but I haven't tested his script:

Sprint can do that

Since Sprint only started selling the iPhone in the fall of last year, it is a certainty that the Original Poster did not have a Sprint iPhone when the message was posted in June 2011.

No carrier can do that.

I would put money on it: it ain't possible. How do you propose that Sprint would do this? Jailbreak the phone? Backup the phone, take the SMS database, import the old records into it somehow by modifying the database, patch the backup with the new database, then restore? It ain't possible. If you can prove that this is done, PM me and I'll pay you $50.
