If you live to text message on your cell, there's nothing more important sometimes than to save certain messages and conversations that you've had over text. Unfortunately, a text message is like a phone call – you can't save it while you're texting feverishly. Often times, if you change your phone, you loose the text messages. Here's how you can backup and save all of your valuable text messages.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

  • PDA cell phone with email compatibility
  • Text Messaging Plan
Step1
Make sure your cell phone is a PDA or personal digital assistant phone. These multi-functional phones allow you to send and receive email which is essential to saving your text messages.
Step2
Though there's no fast and easy way to save your text messages, you need to open each text message separately and copy the text. Then close out of the text message.
Step3
Create a new email message to send to yourself.
Step4
Then paste the text message into the body of the email.
Step5
Save the email as a draft. Then go back and copy the next text message.
Step6
Paste the text message back into the saved email draft.
Step7
Continue and repeat the above steps until you've copied all your text messages that you want to save, pasted into an email message that you'll eventually send to yourself once this is all done.
Step8
After all your texts are backed up and saved, you can go ahead and delete them from your phone if you want.
