Downloading iPhone Text Messages

[D_T_W]

Can anybody point me in the direction of how to download a text message conversation from an iPhone? I ideally need to be able to put it into a Word document format or similar, and given it's over the course of about 8 weeks and about 300 messages I don't fancy typing it out or having to take screen grabs of every message.

Help much appreciated!

I should probably also have mentioned, I'd rather be able to do it for free rather than have to pay for it. That suggestion is telling me I have by the license pack for it as the free one won't work with an encrypted back up

What value do you place on being able to back up that conversation?

A reasonable amount, but not $49 worth for only 1 use.

I used a piece of software called iphonesms to get some text messages submited to court

Which is exactly the reason I need it

there is a free version.

It was the free version I was trying to use, but it just kept telling me I had to by the Pro version as it was an encrypted back up

Do an unencrypted backup? It's an option in iTunes. Can switch it back yo encrypted after you've got the texts and deleted the backup file.

Ah, wasn't aware that was an option! Will give it a bash and see how I get on
