A court reporter will transcribe your text messages, convert the messages into a PDF format for print and a CD or an email link for your use and use by the court. It can be spendy depending on how many text messages to be transcribed. But, it is worth it if there are possible challenges by opposing counsel. Then you can delete the text message from your phone. It is easier not to do business with clients via text message if you can because of the lack or difficulty of printing text messages from your phone and/or your service provider. <br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div><span name="x"></span>Very truly yours,<br>Maureen A.

Does anyone know how to get the text messages off of the phone into a format that could be used?
