QLD Evidence, mobile phone messages

[Jay Cee]

Hi All
I am switching mobile phones and have a lot of txt messages that are relevant to a civil case I expect to deal with in the future. What is the best way to preserve messages for court? Are screenshots adequate to preverved messages or should another method be employed? Thankyou.

the screenshot is a good idea but there will be a lot of screenshots or pics, that may disturb you in searching for the exact SMS,
why not save in pc with other methods ???

here is one, search accordingly to your Mobil model

1. Launch Droid Transfer on your PC.
2. Open Transfer Companion on your Android phone and connect via USB or Wi-Fi.
3. Click the Messages header in Droid Transfer and select a message conversation.
4. Choose to Save PDF, Save HTML, Save Text or Print.

When preserving text messages for a civil case, it's essential to ensure they are stored in a format admissible in court. Screenshots can work, but there might be more reliable methods since they can be challenged for authenticity. A more secure option would be to use an app or service that can export the messages in their entirety, including metadata like timestamps. Consider printing the messages directly from your phone or backing them up to a cloud service.

I know it's been a while, but mobile phone messages are being used as evidence. It’s incredible how our phones have become such a big part of our lives, storing personal info. It’s a bit scary to think that something as simple as a text could end up in court! If you're concerned about your privacy, especially when testing things out or signing up for stuff, you might want to try a phone number generator with sms. It can help you keep your number safe and still receive messages.
