Best Way to Print SMS Messages

6 replies · 24,889 views · Started 25 July 2002

Hi, 😃

I use the SMS function for my day-to-day business activities as well, so I feel that there is a real need to print the SMS messages in hard copies.

What would be the best way to transfer the messages to my PC and get them printed in a organised manner?

Any suggestions will be welcome!

try using SMS Journal (a PC program) -- i think it's a freeware, maybe it will help you print easily your SMS.

For Whiplash:
SMS Journal huh? Interesting. But how do I transfer the SMS from 9210 to the PC in the 1st place?

I can synchronise my 9210 with PIM programs, but no similar function for SMS i guess.

hi, below is an excerpt of the SMS_journal text file:

"The program runs on a PC running Windows. You will need a mouse. Do not try to use it on your Communicator.

The purpose is to import SMS messages from a Communicator file/folder copy on your PC, to display them and to export the messages.

After unzipping the file, copy the contents of the archive into a directory of your choice, but keep all the files together."

- to answer you question - yes, just link your 9210 to your PC via cable or IR, and you can import sms from your 9210 to your desktop. now, you can easily print your sms! 😊

I was surprised when I came upon your post. How unaware am I of the laws now when I did not even know that SMS messages are already admissible to court! have read once that since the telecommunication companies keep tab on our correspondence, only when the court asks them to will they be able to release their record of our communication movements.
