How do I back up my basic phone when I already activated my new smart phone?

[ksmilesz]

I recently got an iPhone as a surprised (they activated it and everything) I never got the chance to back up the photos and the saved messages on my basic phone. How do I back it up even though its not "active"

This may work. Hook a cable from the device to your computer.

It will or should show as another drive letter on the computer.

Access the photos on the phone and copy and past to a folder you create on the desktop.

After you have them, simply hook the iPhone cable up to your iTunes.

Then sync photos, search the desktop for the pictures. The they will be on your iPhone.

It sounds difficult but it really is easy.

If you had the photos on a SD card on the basic phone use an adapter which can be purchased at any computer shop and get the photos that way.

You could try bitpim software to save a copy of your texts.

Sorry I have Windows Machines.

I cannot fathom how to connect to a Mac Book. Sorry

Anyone else have any ideas?
