How to Export iPhone 3G SMS's to .CSV or Print them (SMS stored in the Cloud)

A temporary solution to export your iPhone SMS's into the Cloud (and export to .CSV or Print!)

Tested and working with iPhone 3G (OS 2.2.1, iTunes 8.1.1)

http://youarchive.it

Free registration for 80,000 sms in the CLOUD.

2 ways of uploading your sms into the service

1 - Use free iTextUploader app (REQUIRES JAILBROKEN iPHONE) (http://youarchive.it/itextuploader.php)

2 - Make a copy of the iPhone sms database (mine was called 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28.mddata in /Users/user-name/Library/Application Support/Backup/backup-folder/) and then rename it to 'sms.db'

To import your texts into youarchive.it:

- Create an account at http://youarchive.it/
- Log into the WebApp at http://youarchive.it/
- In the WebApp window, click 'Import New Messages' in the top right corner
- Click 'Use old manual upload this time'
- Click 'Choose File' and select your renamed 'sms.db'
- Voilá, your SMS's are in the CLOUD ready to Export or Print (has to be done contact by contact, by single messages or by search results)!

You can then search by date, phone number or any text and print conversations (With Mac you can print to PDF) or even export as .CSV.

Hope that helps as a temporary measure for some!
