Hey all,
I have searched for an hour and cannot find how to take multiple sms messages and email them to someone else.

My wife sends me a bunch of sms messages of things she wants to be saved and I am getting a stockpile of them and need a quick way to get them to her.

I've tried the ABC Amber app and can't pay for the software, so if anyone has an alternate way to accomplish this I would be in your debt!

There is no "mass forwarding option" for text messages or emails. One by one is the only way.

Why is she not sending them someplace herself or simply saving them herself? Seems like a convoluted process.

She made the unfortunate mistake of getting a Motorola razr and is kind of a pack rat.. I wish she could send them to herself (she cannot) so she sends them to me cause I have a 2gb CD Card..

Its hard to image that there is no way to extract an .ipd database without paying for a program..

Anyone else care to chime in I would be very happy!

It would be a lot easier, especially for you, if she forwarded the messages to a gmail account or a yahoo mail account. Man, I'm playing over in my head the conversation my wife and I would have if she tried to enlist me into a scheme like that. There might be harsh language. You have the patience of a saint!

Stop the press!
I came across this by mistake.. Anyone else needing a means of extracting sms from their backups, then look no further!

Just make sure you read the whole thread or else you'll end up chasing your tail..
