Migrating text messages?

[mikefour77]

Hey all -

Just got my new 6P on Fi and I am wondering if there is a way to migrate the text messages from my old phone, a Samsung GS4 (Sprint version), to the 6P? I can't seem to find an app that works. I also tried using the migration tool in the google settings, but the phones won't connect to each other.

Any ideas? Side notes - neither phone is rooted and the GS4 is on lollipop.

Thanks!

I use this app SMS Backup and Restore do a backup and then upload it to Google Drive and then Restore from there.

Edit: you'll probably have to download the backup from Drive before restoring.
