My phone is falling apart and I want to backup my SMS and MMS - LG enV Touch

I considered emailing them to myself but there are almost 400 of them and there is no "FWD ALL" option on this phone so I would have to do it one by one which is impossible since my touchscreen is so buggy I can barely use the phone at all.

 

Next I tried BitPim, and was successfully able to save them all to my PC, but when I open them up to view them they are ugly and hard to read (and the MMS are completely illegible).

 

What program properly reads SMS .dat files and MMS .pdu files? 

 

If there is no program to view, is there a program or way to convert them to a more easily readable format on my PC?  Alternatively, is there a way to bulk FWD them?

That's just how BitPim stores the stuff. Once you transfer it to a new phone, it is completely normal.

 

That is the only way I know of, other than emailing, to backup texts on a non-smartphone.

As for pictures, just put them on an SD card and plug it into your computer and you can transfer them that way.
