How can I import SMS / MMS from old phone to iPhone?

Greetings. I wonder, how can I import messages (SMS and MMS) from my old phone to a new iPhone? I have my current phone for about five years and I have there many important messages I can't afford to lose. I know, that exporting messages is often tricky (my old phone is using Windows Mobile 6), but there are some programs that can export messages to various formats (.xml, .txt, .sms etc.). But the question is, how to import these messages into iPhone.

Is it possible via iTunes? Is there an app? Sould I visit Apple Store or support? Thank you for any ideas.

SMS/MMS are not stored on the sim, they may still be with the provider you had. Like stevejobsfan said, you could try with them if they can made be available to your old account.

Yes, I have them on my phone. But I am not sure if "forwarding" is the way to go. Because I am afraid that forwarding would destroy / rewrite original time and date..

That's what I am trying to find out 🙂

(except I'd like to migrate from Windows Mobile to iPhone).

Tomorrow I'll try to ask my mobile operator, and we will see..
