I have a C902 which I just replaced and want to copy the text messages stored on the C902 to my new phone....there is no option to do this at all and I have some 2000 messages stored on the C902 mem card.....however, they do not show up when I try to copy them using the PC Suite software on the computer, and there seems no way I can get them off the phone...no bluetooth option, and only thing I can do is forward each message one by one to myself which would take years......any ideas?

SIM card deactivated on that phone now so I cant actually forward them to myself anyway....

text messages are usually storred on the phone, not the memory card, maybe put your new SIM in the C902 and copy to sim, however I think 2000 is past a sim card's SMS capacity..

to be honest, I don't think there's a way... on a side note, are you selling the C902?

I would have said back up the phone before the SIM is deactivated but 2000 messages is a lot in any phone, I'm suprised it worked. Deactivated SIM's can be read by a gizmo sold by Maplins, £50 mind! However like you say, that that many messages are in the internal memory of the phone and I don't have a clue how to retrieve them.
I would try SE support to get anywhere.
