Easy way to export SMS/MMS messages to document file?

[jus2sho]

My new phone arrives today and instead of backing up all of my SMS/MMS messages and restoring it onto my new phone, I'd like to just export everything into a document. Is there a free easy way to do so? TIA

SMS to Text will do that. Or SMS Backup & Restore will back up your current phone and restore to the new one. (I have SMS going back to about 2008 on my phone - one phone after the other. As long as I have the space - and I always make sure I do - why not?)

A "document" is a very vague term.
Most backup and restore apps will create an XML file. Many phone and computer apps can properly parse XML files.
