I just spent two hours trying to uninstall Wondershare MobileGo software to transfer texts from my cell phone to computer,it did not work! Is there an easier safer way of doing this transfer?

Asked by Inspired_2write (14486points) September 9th, 2016

I “just” wanted to save texts messages onto my desktop computer.
I have too many on my phone so wanted to keep these , to maybe printout later on the computer?
Is there an easier way other than writing or photgraphiny my cell phone messages?
I downloaded the above program and it copied “all” my information!
I quickly uninstalled it ( even though I clicked on the texts only tab?
There must be an easier way other than purchasing a software program that will install on my computer and tap into?

Yes I did , but it did not have specific TEXTS transfer..so SMS transfer was done and it took EVERYTHING!
Plus after that download I tried to run it and it never showed how to view texts?
It however asked payment for getting that transfer?
I disagreed also when they requested updates to my computer etc?
All I wanted was transfer of my texts to my computer..not all the updates, or subscriptions nor the payment options..as it was advertised as free?
Thanks for your assistance though.

You can email the texts to yourself.

That sounds like a great idea, but in my circumstance I do not have email on my cell phone.
how does one email a text from a cell phone anyways?
