asked on

Moving text messages from a cell phone to a desktop computer.

I've asked this before but will ask again. I have a cell phone which power cord has a usb connector that plugs into the part than then plugs into the 110v outlet. This usb cord could be plugged into a computer I assume. I am selling items for someone and on one item the possible buyer has only communicated by text message. I'd like to move the text message to my computer so the owner of the item can see the dialogue on how the buyer and myself progressed from their initial interest to an offer lower than the asking price. The owner asked me how the conversation developed and getting the text message on my computer can let me show him the dialogue so he knows the item is being sold for exactly what the buyer offered and not higher.

I used digital camera and of three photos one was not blurry and the text was able to be read on the image.
The use of the digital camera is not the desired solution so other ideas will be tried.

By that statement, I can assume it's NOT a smartphone, that's capable of taking screenshots?

It is a smart phone but I am not sure how to take a screen shot with a cell phone. It's also a lifeline phone through the government so it is a basic ZTE 4 inch screen phone and I do not have the model number handy.
Hold down power + vol down button. You will either hear a sound and/or see a screen flicker. After that, you can release the buttons. In your Gallery, you can now easily find it, and share it.
