How to Migrate Text Messages from One Android to Another
For most HTC users, making a switch to a new iPhone can be exciting. But the reality is far from pleasant when you are trying to get the data (contacts, sms, music, photos...) in old HTC phone and put them into new iPhone. Because a large amount of the vital data are still stored in your old HTC handset, the traditional way of transferring the data from HTC to iPhone—dragging and dropping the data between folders using the computer as a bridge— is time consuming and inefficient. So are there any effective methods to copy contents from HTC to an iPhone?
The data migrating process may sound complicated and overwhelming but, actually, it is simpler than you might think. Phone Transfer software, working as a bridge cross mobile platforms, is an effective and easy-to-use data transferring program. It is capable of transferring data from HTC smartphone to iPhone as easy as hooking the two devices with your computer, selecting sorts of data you want to migrate, and hitting Start Copy button.
With it, you can even back up data on your computer and get it back whenever you need.

Next, you need to select the type of content you want to transfer from HTC over to iPhone in the center box (all files are checked in this example).
