How to transfer SMS from an Android phone to Iphone?

I'm wondering how I could transfer sms from my Sony Xperia Arc (ANDROID) to my new iPhone 5 for free.

I found an program called "Backuptrans" but it can only transfer 20smses for free and you have to pay to transfer more.

Do you guys know any free alternative that can solve my problem?

Put your SIM card into your Xperia and go in messages. Search the options and you should find one saying 'copy all message to SIM card'. Now after it is copied, you insert your SIM card into your iPhone (congrats on your new phone) and all of your messages should be there.
