Import/Export SMS to/from iPhone 4

Hi support and fellow forumers,

Are there any available apps out there that is capable of import/export of SMS to the iPhone?

I have used practically all types of mobile devices available in the market and almost all of the smartphone operating systems allows import/export of SMS is vital to me in my daily personal or business activities.

Recently I have switch from HTC Desire HD to iPhone 4. On my Desire HD, I have SMS which were import from my previous smartphone devices (Windows Mobile, Nokia Symbian, etc). However on the iPhone, I am unable to find any applications that allows me to import those important SMS to the device.

Can Apple provide an application to do that? I believe this should be an easy implementation since SMS on smartphones are usually store in a plain text database or csv.

Hope to have some good news soon.

Thanks.

Best Regards,
David Ting

I have exactly the same problem as David Ting. I just bought a brand new iPhone 4 and just want to do the same thing that I did when moved from Symbian to Windows Mobile and from Windows Mobile to Android: import my old SMS messages and call history to my new device.

It's a _complete nonsense_ to be incapable of doing a so simple thing in iOS.

I'm really shocked with this impossibility. I'm starting to think that I just did a very wrong move choosing Apple.
