Can you move old messages (sms) from iphone 4s to iphone 5?
Can you move old messages (sms) from iphone 4s to iphone 5?
No, the only way to save them would be to screen shot them, then email them to yourself so you will always have them.
You can first backup your iPhone 4 with iTunes on computer and then restore iphone 4s backup to your iPhone 5. Then your old messages will be transferred to your iPhone 5. As you probably know, restoring from backup would wipe your current data with those in the backup. So this method could only be used if you have a very new iPhone 5. Otherwise, it is not recommended.
If you want to transfer and merge sms from iPhone 4s to your iPhone 5 without losing current data, you can download a program called Backuptrans iPhone SMS Transfer. Paid software but works like a charm.
Hope it helps.
- Why can't my iPhone receive SMS messages on 3G? I have a 3GS which has just started having issues with 3G connection. It refuses to receive SMS messages, but I'm able to send them. I have tried to reset network settings, turn off iMessage, restart numerous times to no avail. The only way I can make it work is to turn off 3G, turn the phone off and on which allows SMS to be received. Am I missing something obvious as to why it's having a mini meltdown?
