SMS/MMS/TEXT TRANSCRIPTS

[Auscat 0]

Hi all,

I've been trying for awhile to work out how to get a copy of all my texts between my fiance and myself for awhile now and came across an easy to use service (not free but under $US10)

I hope this won't be perceived as advertising/promoting/hawking as it simply made three minutes work out of something that was technically really challenging for me, and has given me a considerable boost to my ever growing box of "proof of an ongoing relationship".

As I have an iPhone, but use a PC it seemed kind of tricky as I was really unsure about the SQL programs I'd have to run to decrypt the iPhone back up files. Basically i was able to upload my back up file and then for a small fee it was converted to the file type of my choice. .I was able to nominate which contact I wanted ingoing/outgoing text from and it presents as an easy to read, dated, time stamped transcript similar to the actual iPhone layout. Essentially its an almost identical copy of what one would see scrolling through my phone.

Turns out there's 726 pages in the PDF file, which was approximately three years of text messages.

The thought of laying down a phone book size set of transcripts at the consulate appeals to my warped sense of humor, but I'm sure my commonsense will prevail

It's also understandable some of you may have issues regarding privacy, and there is a blurb at the bottom about that very subject by the programmer who created the utility. They take Paypal which for me was also reassuring.

Wow thanks for the info! I don't know that there's such thing. Sadly, mine isn't iPhone. I just use screenshot of chat, chat logs, call logs, Magic jack. We have countless texts but there's no way this would work for my phone. This would help others though.

You really do not need all those text messages, gosh you would need maybe 3 pages and if this is for interview stage I will bet you wont even be asked for them.
