Save iPhone Text Messages to Your PC

Do you have any idea how often I am asked if there is a way to save iPhone text messages to a PC? People want to save them to a desktop to search through (or read through) them at a later date, keeping their actual device nice and clean. Up until recently, there weren’t many decent ways to save these important missives to your Windows computer. When you back up your iPhone via iTunes, your messages are saved – which makes sure your iPhone text messages are never lost. Sadly, though, you aren’t given access to read those messages on your PC.

In order to properly read the messages on your computer, you’ll need to install a third-party software application. You will then be able to open your messages right in the app and read through them. There are a lot of solutions out there – and I’ve tried many of them. There’s really only one solution that I’ve found to be simple to use – and which actually works.

The Tansee iPhone Transfer SMS program takes text messages from your iPhone and backs them up to your computer in a matter of seconds. It allows you to search through the various text messages and even read them right on your monitor.

The iPhone Transfer SMS has a very clean and simple interface that doesn’t require a manual to help you get started. Simply plug your phone into the computer and click a button in the application. Sit back and take a deep breath – and watch your messages appear before your eyes automagically!

Never lose track of important iPhone text messages again. Back them up using iPhone Transfer SMS and keep a copy right on your hard drive.

Hopefully within a few weeks, InfiniteSMS will be available in iTunes. That will allow you to send free SMS messages from your iPhone or iPod Touch. The App isn’t free, but the texts you send from it will be. Once the App has been released, I will be doing a giveaway where you can win this App for yourself! I have 30 codes to give away!

It’s really easy to use. Once you’ve entered your Google credentials, press the “New SMS” button. Then, key in any number you want to send a message to. Type your message – and send it! You will receive SMS replies free, as well! Messages won’t show up on your phone bill!!

You can send messages for free to any number within the US – even if you are traveling outside of the US at the time you send it! Messages are sent and received through Google using the Google Talk service. Your friend must respond. To prevent spam, Google may block you from sending to someone if they don’t respond after a couple of messages.

Now, as I said, I have 30 of these to give away. In order to win, all you need to do is to go to Twitter and send the following:
