    I've just successfully imported over 25K SMS from my aging Lumia 640 LTE to my Samsung Galaxy A10. The whole process was rather simple & easy, and it was finished in 40 minutes or so without any issues whatsoever. No notifications were received, but it took the A10's Messages app a few extra minutes to finish arranging the newly loaded conversations after opening it for the first time, although that wasn't a problem at all. Thank you so much for developing this.

    Absolute lifesaver! Works very easily and quickly. Its a shame Microsoft didn't think about it when they decided to kill their phones
