    Post how Can I backup my sms in my iphone to pc

    I'm running a Jailbroken iPhone, Is there a program either on the app store, or Cydia that will allow you to save your messages onto your computer in plain text, excel or any other format so you can delete them from the phone, and keep them on your PC?

    Well, of course you could just email them to yourself I suppose.
    However, I did a quick la google and here from the Apple Support forums is this-



    Also found a youtube video about backing up SMS


    Hope those help.

    Actually, there are some programs for jailbroken iPhones, I believe, but I don't think you need to go even that far -- desktop apps such as TouchCopy can connect to your iPhone from your PC and simply copy the SMS messages off that way. In think TouchCopy creates HTML files for the messages, with images separated out as individual files. Other apps may offer more or different options -- PhoneView for example, although Mac only, provides options for PDF, CSV and delimited text export.

    I use PhoneView. Love it. It allows me to declutter my iPhone and keep my memory usage down.

    Haven't used it myself, it's just one if those programs that can be used to get some stuff off the phone without a jailbreak.

    I think iExplorer can do that... I'm not sure though.

    But as far as apps, I don't know.. Try iExplorer. Just Google it: "iExplorer"
