Europa, this method works to transfer the text and attachments but I will no longer be able to send picture messages because it tried to create a folder under "parts" in the "SMS folder with the same name as the ones already there so it just shows sending and never sends the picture. Do you know of another way to transfer text messages to another iPhone with a new user or am I SOL?I know you can read them and save them to the computer with DiskAid, but I'm pretty sure you can't replace a saved sms.db file after restoring the phone if the phone is stock. You don't have root access so I don't see how you could. You can, however, if it's jailbroken.
You'll need to jailbreak it, install iFile, save the sms.db, restore to factory settings, jailbreak again, install iFile and then replace the file.
File location:
var/mobile/library/SMS/sms.db
Try a program called Backuptrans iPhone SMS Transfer. It may help. Google it.Europa, this method works to transfer the text and attachments but I will no longer be able to send picture messages because it tried to create a folder under "parts" in the "SMS folder with the same name as the ones already there so it just shows sending and never sends the picture.

Just backup your iPhone with iTunes. Messages are included.You could try some utility to backup your iPhone text messages to your computer. Once you have your iPhone text messages backed up, you would be able to restore text messages to your iPhone.
Yes.Does the iOS backup contain MMS pictures? I am trying to export my iPhone text messages along with mms photos.
