It's not free you actually have to pay $6USD to get your texts and you have to log into your Microsoft account from within the app which should always make you a bit uneasy. The android xml format it puts your texts in is in beta. Very disappointing for something that's costs so much for a single use and single function.

Just upgraded wife's 640XL to Win10 Mobile. It highlighted issue that, even though you have automatic backup of your device turned on, there is no way to get to them if you haven't manually run backups and saved them to the SD card. This app worked really well. It downloaded 2000+ SMS going back more than three years. We're talking WP8 here. What's more, it recovered 350MB of pictures attached to the messages. If you want to save more than 100 sms at a time you do need to pay an upgrade fee of $5 which I didn't think was unreasonable for the service. Drawbacks are that when you export the SMS, they are not saved in a format that can be read by easily by other programs. It does save in Excel format among others, and the cells contain links to where attachments are saved on your computer during the export. So you can recover attachments after you see the folder to which they were restored. To see the SMS's and attahments as they originally appeared you need to run the app.

Yes, plenty of problems, but when this guy gives up, we are finished. This is the only choice. Be nice and encourage this developer. Every other source says this task can't even be done at all.

Took three hours to download over 54k messages only to find that att no longer lets me buy things with a Windows account, so can't get the better version anyway. So. Just lost all of my texts ever. Awesome. Not the developers fault, but don't imagine that you can backup your phone this way. Att transfer, the windows one, this one, nothing works. You just lost everything you did on Windows phone. Sigh.

The app backed up 17,742 text SMS & MMS messages with attachments. It allowed me to select the location of the message backup file (but, the attachments went to a system folder on C: (huh?). The attachments should have gone to the same location I selected for the messages. There are no instructions as to which of the 4 backup formats would best meet your needs. The regular .TXT file works best for me. The .CSV file format worked, but was not very readable as displayed. The two .XML formats didn't seem to want to close the write process, ... maybe it takes more than two hours to write 17,742 messages in .XML? For a little more than $5 it's worth it to me to have all my messages and their attachments backed up. Some polish to the app would be nice, that might happen in the future ...

This is the ONLY app I know of that backs up all of your messages for you-- works great!

Seems like it will probably work, but the free version will only let you back up 100 messages at a time. I'm okay with paying for things that do what I need them to do, but it would be nice if the developer would just say this in the description so people know what to expect. When it does get to a point where payment is required, he/she/they don't even give the courtesy of saying how much each of the options cost in the app, just takes you straight to payment. Probably works exactly as advertised, but those tactics make the devs come across as shady.

Wish I could add more than one account. I had to uninstall to switch accounts. If there is a better way, please reply if possible. I found the attachment folder by looking at the export path so could copy them all (did not need to know what messages they were from)

App was just what I needed. I think the in-app purchases is missing though. Can't find it on the app.

Would like option to specify where to save MMS images. Other than that 5 stars!!!
