BlackBerry® Bold™

[DrFever]

I have had about a month long message string going with a contractor who refused to use email.  We've been discussing this job back and forth and I need to print off the entire message string.  Forwarding the chat to email won't work because each individual message block needs to be sent.

Is anyone aware of how I can print off the sms conversation in its entirety using either a natice or third party application?

Any advice or help will be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Hello,

Hmmm...one way would be to use the RIM Desktop Software and backup your BB to your PC:

• KB12487 How to back up BlackBerry smartphone data using BlackBerry Desktop Software for Windows

Then, on the PC, use a 3rd party app (there are several free ones) to parse the resulting BBB/IPD file into "human readable" format, from which you could likely extract the SMS database and be able to print (perhaps moving to Excel or something similar):

• KB03974 BlackBerry smartphone database list

I've never actually done this, but from all I understand, it should be possible to accomplish. There may be other methods (e.g., 3rd party apps for BB), but that's the one that comes to my mind.

Good luck!
