Well, regrettably, I live here. I will, also regrettably, be returning from a trip to Europe.
But I didn't really want to lose my text conversations. Very little of it has to do with politics but, you know, there's probably some on there somewhere.
You won't lose them if you back them up. SMS Backup and Restore can automate the task for you.
I'll look into it. In the past I seen to recall that all of the contacts were there but the previous conversations were either fine or severely truncated.
SMS Import/Export has worked really well for me lately.
