Procedure to Backup and Restore SMS,
- Up next is you also need to note the APN Settings as well as the MMS Message settings manually so that the same can be configured just in case if these are lost. You can always ask your operator for the same but if you wish to note down then you can note the same from the path of Applications > Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks > Access Point Names. While the APN Settings are responsible for internet access and the MMS Settings are responsible for sending / receiving the multimedia messages.
