With threats of mobile phone getting stolen or damaged, it is therefore wise on one’s part to keep a back up of their important SMSes somewhere other than the phone. Nokia has been offering the SMS backup feature since eons and it just gets better with every new version of Nokia Suite software.
The SMS may carry important details of your contacts or even some crucial information. Also some can be kept as memories. It is advisable to take a backup of these SMS on your computer. The Nokia Suite 3.5.34 or higher is required for this tutorial. Download the latest version of the Nokia Suite for your Windows PC from Support Page (hyperlink: https://www.nokia.com/in-en/support/downloads/ ) and install it.
