Does anyone know how to print out text messages from cell phones? I need to save some messages for legal custody reasons, and I'm running out of room for new texts.

Forward them to your email address. It should keep the forward information.

Don't have internet on my cell so I can't forward them there.

can you individually delete texts, instead of deleting them all at once? barring that, ask about having them notarised somehow- maybe the notary copies them down? Or you could take pictures of the screen, if you have a good camera? But still try to keep them as long as you can.

You can forward them to your email address. You don't need to have internet to do this. Open the message, forward, and enter your email instead of a phone number. Or, if you have a data cable for your phone you can transfer pictures, messages, etc. right to your computer and save them, print them, etc.

I'm looking for the same answer. however, i have an iphone and it does not offer an option to forward text messages anywhere. any more suggestions?

Take pictures of them. I have done this for some emails that have sentimental meaning for me. It may take a few tries with a digital camera to get the settings right, but it does work well. I have found a tripod setup works well. Good luck!

Forward to an email, although sometimes you will lose the sender info when you do this (like on mine when I forward to my home email, I lose the info of the original sender) Photographing is probably the best as you can capture sender info that way. Use the macro setting on your camera to get a better shot.

you could send it to ur email...but that could be costly sending that many texts....best bet is just use a word program and copy the texts word for work...that way you can keep the sender info, the date, the time , the message etc...thats what i had to do one time...GL

Perhaps a lawyer or other legal assistant could help you best with this. Forwarding or otherwise copying it could be considered tampering with evidence or may not be accepted in court because of the possible loss of integrity (the possibility that it could have been tampered with). . Another option is to have text messaging disabled to prevent the overwriting of old messages.
