SMS's on your mobile phone would probably come second in the list of the most important data stored on your phone, after contacts. So backing them up is essential. Android users can use this free app called SMS to Text to get it done. As the name indicates, it backs up your messages as a text file. You can filter by contact, filter by messages received or sent, sort by date or number and finally export it as a .txt file to your computer or to your phone's SD card.
