    Hi, does anything exist to back up SMS from the iPhone DIRECTLY (so to say over-the-air) to Gmail, like SMS Backup + for Android?

    That guy that made the nice Android app has to release an iPhone version. I'd pay for that and I'm sure many others would too.

    I am also looking for something like this for the iPhone. Why does it seem to be so impossible to get your sms and mms to backup to gmail?

    Saumil,

    I did a brief Google search and found this one:
    http://www.nerdyhearn.com/smstogmail.php
    Unfortunately, it is currently down.

    Is there a specific reason why you want to backup to GMail, e.g. search-ability?
    For general backup you can also try the following tools:
