Question: Phone messages

[_peter]

One of the guys at work has a contract phone. A Samsung I think, but not sure.
He has some text messages on it that he needs to get off and printed as proof he recieved them.
Does anyone know any programs that will do this, as Blue Tooth is not picking up the message directory?

If all else fails, perhaps he can take it onto a phone shop, they might have some technology that can help.

Sounds like a plan. Will try this weekend.

if he conntects it to his PC with the usb cable and backs up his messages to there he can print them off.

Righto, got data cable. Now what do I need to do?

Some operaters give you the option of backing up your messages to a personal section of their website or similer. I know you can get card readers to back up information as well, but best to ask in store. It's also worth contacting the phone manufacturer to see if they can help.

Thanks boss. Will have to ring up and see if they'll give us help.

usb data cable is definately the best bet plus it wont cost like taking it into a shop

[_peter]

Righto. Got cable. Now what do I do?

err plug one end into the phone and the othe into the computer

iv just thought has this samsung got a memory card slot?
if it has save the messages to memory card and then transfer stuff from memory card on to comp?!

place the phone in the scanner... seems to be even better proof than a print out

[_peter]

Y'know, I thought this was a genius idea.
Yes, I tried it.
Yes, I felt silly when the scanner light said no to the phone. ;)

scanner light said no the the phone?... I don't get it.
I know it can work as I did it for an art project once
