subject: How to transfer SMS from iPhone to Computer [print this page] The iPhone is one of the most successful smart phones ever created. Millions of people are using it either as a normal phone or as a multimedia and communications device. Text messages (SMS messages) that you send or receive are stored on the iPhone's internal memory but the storage capacity for SMS is limited to a certain number. Many people want to backup (export) those SMS messages either because the memory got full (therefore no more SMS can be sent or received) or because they want to save some important sms messages to their computer or maybe because they changed their phone device and they want to backup everything.
If you have a MAC computer, then you have a few free options to export and save your SMS messages (like the Syphone app for example) but if you are a Windows PC user then your options are limited. There is only one tool available for Windows PC owners for exporting their iPhone SMS messages in text file format. This is Tansee iPhone Transfer SMS software. Fortunately it is pretty cheap (just $19.95) and you can do lots of stuff with this software, such as:
Full management of your iPhone SMS messages (view and edit the messages on your Windows computer).
Transfer the SMS messages to your computer in three different file formats (text file, ANTS file, MHT file).
You can edit the SMS messages (if you export them in ANTS file format) or print the messages (if you export them in MHT file format).
If you export the SMS in ANTS file format, you can add a password protection to the file.
You can select if you want to export the messages from all contacts of from a single contact.
The Tansee iPhone SMS Backup utility works with all Windows operating systems (Win98, Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista) and supports all iPhone models such as iPhone, iPhone 3G, iPhone 3GS and iPhone 4.
