Help How do you save text messages on the Samsung Moment?

[VertigoKid]

I have a Samsung Moment SM900. I see that there's a software update for my kind of phone. It states that all of the things I have on my cell will be deleted or erased so it would be best to back up some things that I may want to save. I have a text message from a friend asking to borrow money and that they will pay it back. I want to keep all of the details from that message thread just in case. I can copy and paste it to my notepad or I can forward it to my email address but neither of these have the vital information such as the day and time these messages were sent to me. I have a 16GB memory card in my phone but I can't do anything but mount or unmount it. Is there a app where I can save my text messages to either my card or computer? I want to update my phone but don't want to lose the old stuff that may be erased or deleted.

Go to the market and download SMS Backup.(NOT SMS BACKUP AND RESTORE)
It will back all your texts to a Gmail account.
If you don't have a Gmail account, just make one ....
Works for me

I would actually use SMS Backup & restore. It backs up your messages to your SD card & restores them right back to the way they were when they were on your phone, threads & all.
