Roman Chernyshov Other backup SMS, SMS to email Comments Date 12 Sep
Good time! Today we will talk about SMS backup by sending all messages from your smartphone to email. This may be required both simply for the purpose of saving correspondence, and for further processing of messages, for example, searching messages for the necessary information (contacts, names, prices, etc.) by third-party applications, which in turn work with E-Mail. Let's look at an option for such copying using a smartphone running Android.
Method No. 1: indicate recipient numbers in the address bar
Letters must be sent to your unique address, which contains your secret key api_id and recipient phone numbers, separated by a plus sign:
[register to get api_id] [email protected]
You can specify multiple numbers. Each one must have a plus sign in front of it. Recipient numbers must be written only in numbers, without spaces or other characters. In the header (Subject field), you can specify special parameters described below in the “additional options” section.
Receiving SMS from E-mail
How to activate the service?
By sending an SMS message:
- When you send an SMS message with the Latin letter “a” or “A” to the number 0870253, the service is added. If this service is successfully added, the subscriber will receive a confirmation message like: “successfully added.”
- When you send an SMS message with the Latin letter “r” or “R” to the number 0870253, the service is deleted. Upon successful deletion of this service, the subscriber will receive a confirmation message of the form: “successfully deleted.”
Using the Contact Center
By calling the Contact Center at 0890 in accordance with the procedure for adding/removing services through the Help and Information Department with the help of a consultant operator.
On a personal visit to the Service Desk
According to the procedure for adding/removing services through the Service Desk.
Method No. 2: indicate recipient numbers in the header (Subject field) of the letter
Letters must be sent to your unique address, which contains your secret key api_id:
[register to get api_id]@sms.ru
In the header (Subject field) you must indicate the recipient numbers:
79255070602,74993221627
You can specify multiple numbers separated by commas. Recipient numbers must be written only in numbers, without spaces or other characters. In the header (Subject field), you can specify special parameters described below in the “additional options” section.
SMS forwarding process
SMS forwarding is based on the ability of the nhsms program to launch bat files when an incoming SMS message is received and consists of the following steps:
- in the settings of the nhsms program it is set to launch a bat file when an incoming SMS is received
- when an SMS arrives, the bat file uses the parameters of the received SMS and generates a command to send an email
- To send an email, the mailsend program is used, it was previously discussed in the article Send an email from a bat file via SMTP
Example in PHP for messages containing Russian characters
Unfortunately, sending messages in Russian encoding via PHP by email is somewhat more difficult and therefore we are forced to use auxiliary functions that correctly prepare the letter for sending via SMTP.
function sms_send_mime_mail( $email_from, // sender's email $email_to, // recipient's email $data_charset, // encoding of transmitted data $send_charset, // letter encoding $subject, // letter subject $body // letter text ) { $subject = sms_mime_header_encode($subject, $data_charset, $send_charset); if ($data_charset != $send_charset) { $body = iconv($data_charset, $send_charset, $body); } $headers = "From: $email_from\r\n"; $headers .= "Content-type: text/plain; charset=$send_charset\r\n"; return mail($email_to, $subject, $body, $headers); } function sms_mime_header_encode($str, $data_charset, $send_charset) { if ($data_charset != $send_charset) { $str = iconv($data_charset, $send_charset, $str); } return "=?".$send_charset. "?B?".base64_encode($str). "?="; } sms_send_mime_mail( " [email protected] ", // Sender address "[register to receive api_id]@sms.ru", // Your unique address in the SMS.RU system "CP1251", // the encoding in which the messages are sent strings “KOI8-R”, // the encoding in which the letter will be sent “79255070602 translit”, // the header of the letter with the recipient’s number, as well as additional parameters “Hello, I am your program!” );

Create a mailbox
To send and save all messages by E-Mail, you first need to register a mailbox; mail from yandex.ru is perfect for this. You can also use your existing mailbox, but I recommend registering a new one. Firstly, over time, a large number of SMS messages will accumulate in it, which can interfere with working with regular letters, and secondly, if you connect your mailbox to a third-party service for analytics, do not indicate the login and password for the main E-Mail in it. .
We use the SMS Backup&Restore application
With this application it is possible to create a backup copy of any data that the user gives access to. To do this, you need to go to Google Play and find the tool in the search.
Once installed and you have access to all the necessary data, you can create a backup copy.
Creating a Backup
- If the user has not previously saved any copies, the app's workspace will show how much messages and call data is on the device and what can be copied.
- After that, you can choose what exactly you want to copy. To create a copy of messages, leave the “SMS messages” checkbox.
- Next, you need to select a location to save the backup. Since further transfer is planned to another smartphone, it is best to select “In phone” in order to then very quickly transfer the copy file to the device through the same application. If the transfer is planned in a different way, choose the appropriate one.
- Next, you can mark the archiving plan, which is necessary if there is a threat of memory loss on the phone. The optimal option is “Weekly”. After selecting the appropriate option, click “Archive Now”. The process has begun.
SMS Backup&Restore is one of the most popular applications for transferring messages from phone to phone. Works on any version of Android starting from 4.
Restoring from the created database
For data recovery on another device to be successful, you need to install the same application on it and make sure it is connected to the wireless Internet. When this is done, the message file should be transferred.
To transfer archived files saved on your phone, you need to go to the side menu and select “Transfer”. You will need a local “SMSBackupRestore” folder, which the application created automatically during the backup process. In this way it is possible to transfer a copy of SMS messages to the selected device. It is important that it is connected to Wi-Fi.
After this, the process of restoring the archived data on the required phone begins:
- First, find the “Restore” column in the side menu. After this, the application will give you a choice of one of the copies of the files. At the moment she is alone.
- Next, click on “Recover” and receive a package of recovered data. After the process is completed, you can delete the application; this will not affect the memory status on the new device.

How to set up redirection on Yandex.ru
In order to configure the forwarding of letters to another email address, go to the “Rules for processing incoming mail” page in the settings and click on the “Create rule” button. In the “Perform action” block, select the “Forward to address” option and indicate the address to which you want to forward letters.
If you want to leave copies of messages in your mailbox, check the box next to “save a copy when forwarding.” There is no need to fill in any additional fields or conditions. If an empty condition appears when creating a rule, you can leave it blank or delete it by clicking on the cross to the right of it. To save the setting, click on the “Create Rule” button at the bottom of the page.
Before emails can be forwarded to the new address, you must confirm the configured rule. To do this, a letter with instructions will be sent to the address you provided. This letter must be sent back to the mailbox where the rule was created, and from there follow the link in the letter.
Launch
The initial setup of the program is quite simple:
1. Specify the number to which messages will be forwarded. The number must be complete, for example +79101112233.
2. Select and configure the modem
3. Set the frequency of checking for new SMS receipts
4. Click “Start”
After this, the program will check at user-defined intervals whether new messages have been received and, if received, re-send them to the specified number.
This is the main functionality of the program.
