There's a number of applications that allow you to backup SMS text messages to your PC or Mac. Most will cost between $10 and $25 to get the application, although they usually have a free trial version available for download. Here's a list of some iphone SMS backup programs:

- Decipher Text Message (PC & Mac): http://deciphertools.com/

- TouchCopy (PC & Mac): http://www.wideanglesoftware.com/touchcopy/index.p...

- Tansee iPhone Transfer SMS: http://www.tansee.com/iphonetransfersms.html 

- PhoneView (Mac): http://www.ecamm.com/mac/phoneview/

- MobileSyncBrowser (Mac only?): http://msb.macsupport-pr.com/

Also there's an iPhone app you can use to get text messages off the iPhone:

- SMS Export - App allows you to print or backup SMS (text messsages) directly to your PC or Mac (need to also download software to computer).

iTunes will backup everything on the iPhone, including SMS messages and contacts.
In iTunes, with the iPhone selected on the left, click the Info tab and make sure Contact syncing is enabled.

There are many ways to get off text message from iPhone.When you accidentally delete photos captured by your iPhone 4/4S, you may want to find iTunes backup files to restore them. http://www.istonsoft.com/iphone/recover-deleted-ip... For Mac users, the iPhone 4/4S files are backed up at “~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup”
