I have text conversations that I need to be printed or emailed. They have NOT been deleted and are still on my phone. Am I able to do this in anyway? I have the HTC Tilt and I have played around with it and can't seem to figure anything out. If I go to the store will they be able to help me? It's really really very important that I some how get a copy of these text messages.

Not sure about printing them, but you can email them as attachments to an email address so you can print them out. Click here and you can see basic email access and settings. After you open the page, you can also go to access box 3 and select "configure email settings".

Also, depending on which phone you have, you can back up your text messages with PIMBackup, which can create either a binary or csv file to sync and print them from your computer.

Thank you for your advice but I'm still not able to figure this out. The email configurations do not help me email my text messages to myself. I've sync'd my phone with the computer but alas...no access to my text messages via this route either. Any other advice?

You can install a screen capture program onto your phone and pc so that you can get screen shots of the messages on the phone and from there copy and paste into a word program, paint program, etc and print them.
You can google phone screen capture and should get several options. I've used mymobiler in the past on a Tilt with no issues whatsoever.

Forward them to your emaill address and then print them. Instead of forwarding them to a phone number, forward them to your email address.

the only problem with forwarding is that it wont show the original sender or recipient. if you have a smartphone, i would personally go with the screenshot > sync > print method.
