Transferring messages from Nokia Symbian to Android

One of the frustrating things about switching from an old Nokia to Android is the difficulty of transferring your old messages to the new system.
Here is a step-by-step method
  1. Download Nokia suite http://www.nokia.com/global/support/nokia-suite/. The site suggests the Nokia PC suite which is OK too, but it's very slightly different interface http://www.nokia.com/global/support/nokia-pc-suite/
  2. Connect your old Nokia phone to the PC (if you don't have a suitable connector then try via Bluetooth) and open the Nokia suite.
  3. From Tools -> Backup (File -> Backup if you're on the PC suite), create a .nbu backup of your phone data (you only need the option that includes Messages).
  4. Download NbuExplorer and install it on your PC.
  5. After the installation, run NbuExplorer.
  6. From File -> Open navigate till you find the backup file you created in step 3 and open it.
  7. Go to "Messages" tab and click on "Export Messages" icon. It's a like a disk located on the top left corner of the right pane, right above the table that contains the messages.
  8. Save as "Android  'SMS Backup & Restore' XML format".
  9. Copy the generated XML file into your android device.
  10. From the Play Store, download "SMS Backup & Restore" app on your Android device https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en
  11. From the app, select Restore and navigate until you find the XML file and use it to generate the messages, and that's it.
