Moving Text Messages From One Iphone to Another

[dannyboy]

Hi all, I had my new 5S come through a couple of days ago. I didn't do a restore of the stuff from my old 4S as I wanted to set the 5S up as a new phone except for a few pictures and a few texts.

Anyway i've got the pictures I wanted onto the new phone, but there's a few texts messages I want to keep from certain people on my old phone.

I've searched and there's a lot of software out there that do it, but most of them you have to pay for. Are there any free programs (for a mac) that will do it? I only want a couple of conversations saved from my old phone really then imported to my new one.

I think you will need an app to do it mate, not sure if you can SSH in if it isn't jailbroken to try and copy the data, this wouldn't be a good idea either as they might be on different OS versions. I once exported my useful convos to PDF but that was a jb tool.

Ah neither device is jailbroken so can't really do it that way. I'm about to try the free version of this. Sounds like what I need, but not sure how restricted the free version is: http://www.backuptrans.com/iphone-sm...r-for-mac.html

EDIT - Looks like I can only save 20 messages using the free version. There's only 1 conversation I want to save but there's more than 20 messages. Also it doesn't save the picture and video's in the message.
