I have the Passport. Is there a way to Lock or Save a text message I don't want deleted?
Also - I am new to BB and PP, how long are texts saved? I know my other phone saved the last 200 texts, which is why I 'locked' some of them - ensuring they would not be deleted.
There are a few excellent apps that can backup and forward messages for you, off device, to email - or backed up to a Cloud storage.
take a look at: SMS to Email Pro which automatically send copy of incoming and outgoing SMS to your email,
or Ultimate Backup which takes backup of SMS and most other user data, and can store on either memory card, or DropBox/Box/OneDrive
They are both great apps, but for SMS safekeeping, the SMS to Email Pro forwards as pure text, so the messages can be easily read from your regular email client
