cell phone - copy text messages

[sys-eng]

Searching for a way to copy or export text messages from an LG Rumor Reflex cell phone. This phone uses the BREW MP operating system and is not a smart phone. The text messages are on the phones built-in memory and not on the SD card.

SW version LN272ZV8
HW Version Rev. 1.0

I am willing to purchase a utility to perform this task if there is one that actually works.

I have no experience with this so seeking help here. Called local "phone repair" shops but no one can help. Sprint store salesman doesn't have a clue (could not talk with a technician).

Have you tried BitPim?

This phone is not on their support list. This is an LN series phone - - LN272.

Have you looked at https://santoku-linux.com/? Supposed to be a distro for mobile devices.

The link below might also give you some ideas.

You could always FWD the txt msgs to another phone.

Yes, but that would be hundreds of messages done individually. I believe the original time stamp would be lost too.

I have never investigated this before but surprised that there are not utilities available to do this.

On the galaxy s3 you can do a screenshot by holding the power button and home button at the same time. Then could be hooked to a pc and download the pics. Might check into that.

we get calls for this all the time, but haven't done a BREW phone in years.

Try these guys http://www.datapilot.com/

Androids are easy, just install the free SMS Backup+ app and back up to your gmail account. For iPhones I use iExplorer to get out Voice mails and sms messages.

This company makes huge bold claim that nobody does:

"DataPilot 7.0 Universal Kit
Cell Phone Management Suite
Works with All Cell Phones"

I sent them a message asking if they can do this. I am not optimistic.
