Move SMS texts from iphone 3g to Iphone4

Hi,

I just got tansee (free trial) and transferred my SMS's to my mac from an iphone 4

Does the program have an option to transfer files FROM Mac back to another Iphone?

See i need to get my sms's from my old iphone 4 to my new 4s.

I can not restore from back up cos i did that initially and battery was dying out so the guys at apple store asked me to set it up as new (which fixed battery issue) and get my data (calenders, contacts, phontos, notes) via the cloud. I got everything back except my Messages and i really need them

I already tried touchcopy and phoneview but to no avail.

Thanks for everyone's help.

I had an iPhone 3GS and wanted to transfer my SMS's to my new iPhone 4

I saw all the above methods

Sorry to say but all are very confusing

so I found this

Extremely simple and easy method to solve (The SMS Transfer) issue

I wanted to share with the community

well here it goes

Step One : Backup both your iPhones

Step Two : Search and download iTools for iPhone free download (for PC or MAC)

Step Three : Open itools & plug in your iphone 3GS

Step Four : Your iPhone will be detected & all details would be displayed on the left Panel

Step Five : Click on File Sytems

Step Six : On the right Panel click on filesystem (Jailbreak)

Step Seven : Go to filesystem/user/ library/sms

Step Eight : On the far right panel, you will see some very important folders and files

Step Nine : Simply Select All, Right Click and copy em in a new Folder may be on the desktop (Name it iPhone 3GS SMS)

Step Ten : Disconnect iphone 3GS and connect iPhone 4

Step Eleven : Repeat the steps from Five to Nine (Only copy them in a new folder and name it iPhone 4 SMS. (Note : We dont need these files n folders, but just in case something goes wron, we can replace them back)

Step Twelve : Copy the files n folders from the directory on the desktop named iPhone 3GS SMS

and paste the in the iphone 4 here (the program will ask wether to replace existing files n folders, in some chinese lingo, but u can see Y and N on each buttons so click on the left (Y)

And thats about it, You are done, As simple as that, All the SMS on the iPhone 3GS are transfered on the new device.

Caution : This worked like a charm for me, but it may not be the same for everyone so just in case anything goes wrong you can replace the previously saved files n folders in iPhone 4 SMS directory back. I am very clear, I am not responsible for any loss or damage, Do at your own risk.

Cocheese1968, try using something like copytrans SMS to:

1. Transfer the SMS text messages form your iPhone 3G to your computer
2. Transfer the SMS text messages from your computer back to your new iPhone 4.
