TMO Quick Tip - iPhone: Saving SMS Messages to Your Mac

Monday, May 12th, 2008 at 7:30 AM - by

Odds are that not every text message on your iPhone is worth saving, but for those that are, Apple doesn't make it all that easy to copy them to a different device. That's why I'm glad I stumbled across Syphone for Mac OS X.

Syphone is a cool little application from Micromat that lets iPhone users save their SMS messages to their Mac, view those messages, and export them to PDF, XML, or text files. It even lets you view already saved SMS conversations after they have been deleted from your iPhone.


View your iPhone SMS messages on your Mac with Syphone.

I found Syphone to be easy to use, and invaluable for referencing important business-related SMS conversations. It's free, and you can find it at the Micromat Web site.
