Hi,


Does anyone know if it is possible transfer texts from a Windows phone to an IPhone 4?


They are backed up somewhere - when I bought a second Windows phone they were all downloaded. I have synced my Hotmail account and restored my contact, but no luck with the texts


Thanks

    I don't think so.

    Apple provide an app to transfer everything from Android, but not Windows phone unfortunately.

    Yes it can be done.

    There are several programs available that will do what you want but I have no idea if any are free.

    Google will give you the answer.
