My phone is on its last legs apparently and Voda are sending me a replacement tomorrow, but they have mentioned that apparently SMS are not backup'd as a matter of course. How the hell do you do it then ? I have a years worth of texts and I want them saved as I regularly use them in my business transactions.....anyone help ??

Thanks
Sean

"This article explains how to replace your current iPhone with a newly purchased iPhone using the same carrier. If you follow these steps to back up your previous iPhone first, and then restore the backup to your newly purchased iPhone, your [b][u]saved SMS messages[/u][/b], email accounts, photos, notes, and other personal settings will be present on your new iPhone."
