3. Launch the Android Market and download and install an application called SMS Importer

4. Run the SMS Importer and simply import the CSV file This tool allows you to specify where to

import (Inbox or else where).

Note: This tool is freeware and supports only 100 messages, so you may need to export your messages

intomultiple files
