Q: Can you export SMS messages fro iPhone to Mac?

I have recently strated a business with my Sister and we use SMS several times during the day to discuss business issues.

I have found it would be useful to have a record of our discussions and images we have sent. Is it possible to export the SMS

files and then use a Mac software to be able to serch and review them?

Thanks, SwissHippo

Thank you very much, Razmee209!! That is the only program I have ever been able to use to adequately save SMS files from my phone. Now I want to know how to get a free software that can reconstruct the text streams, one that is NOT iBackupBot for $35. Frankly I really don't see why I have to pay something to just get all the things I have written to be exported into a simple readable format that I can save into a document if I so choose. It really seems like there has been a deliberate attempt to make this simple process difficult in iOS, even though I have no idea why that would be anyone's aim...
