Hi shizadmen, it seems that the Apple Support has deleted my reply (Ph@Apple on Nov 30 see below) because they thought i was doing advertising ( yes i wrote down the address of a software that may solve your pb but I have no relation with the sw developer, I'm not even a customer...).

Anyway you can find such software by asking one of your prefered search engines with the keyworkds used in your question.

If you want to see the message I got from the Apple team:

If you have a new iphone and your are trying to tranfer your old iphone 3GS messages to your new iphone, then you just need to 1) create a backup of your old 3gs via iTunes (this is already probably done as with each sync, iTunes would backup your iphone messages, contacts, settings, etc) and 2) restore your new iphone from the backup you created. This willow you access of your old iphone 3gs messages on your iphone.

If you have already backed up your iPhone with iTunes, you can get the deleted text messages and contacts back by the following steps using iTunes:

Click the File menu and select Devices > Restore from Back up.

Or

Open the iOS device's Summary tab. There are two ways to access this:

Click the device button in the upper right corner. (If viewing the iTunes Store, click the Library button in the upper right corner. The device button will then be visible.)

From any view in iTunes, click the View menu and select Show Sidebar. Select your iOS device in iTunes under Devices.

Click the Restore Backup button

I have searched many ways to transfer SMS from iPhone to Computerand I think iTunes is a worthy-suggested way to transfer iPhone data to computer.

For instance, iTunes can help transfer SMS to PC. You can do iPhone SMS backup in this way:Lanch iTunes and connect your iPhone to the computer. Select "Backup" to "This computer" or "iCloud" and all your iPhone will be backed up. If you want to restore your data, just choose a file to restore from it. You can go to "Edit">"Preferences">"Devices" to view the backup files on your computer. More details in How to back up your devices using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support

Utilities like FonePaw iOS Transfer, iExporer, etc. are better than iTunes to manage iPhone. They allow me to preview and export SMS to computer.

Transfer SMS from iPhone to PC:

On a Windows PC the easiest way to get pictures from your iPhone is to just use Windows Explorer, but there’s two ways to go about this:

Plugin your iPhone to the computer without iTunes running

Wait for a popup asking you what you want to do with the device

Select “View Content”

Find your photos through the folders that are displayed

Copy in Windows as usual

If your iPhone is already plugged into your PC, you can try this method:

Plugin your iPhone to your PC

Open “My Computer”

Find your iPhone, it will appear as any other camera would

Open iPhone to find your sms

Select the sms you want to copy to your computer and copy/paste them into the desired location on your PC
