Call your voicemail box and forward recordings to an email app.
Steps:
1. Call your voicemail (hold "1" key)
2. Play the message you want to save
3. Look for "Forward" or "Share" option
4. Send to your email address
Some phones allow "Share → Save to Files" for voicemail recordings.
iPhone: Visual Voicemail → Tap message → Share button → Save to Files
Android: Voicemail app → Long press message → Export or Share
Use another device to record important voicemails played through speakerphone.
Use built-in export features (Android Messages → Settings → Export).
Android Messages:
Settings → Chat features → Export messages → Select conversations → Export
Or use a third-party backup app like SMS Backup & Restore.
Popular Apps:
• SMS Backup & Restore (Android)
• iMazing (iPhone)
• 3uTools (iPhone)
• Dr.Fone (Both platforms)
For important individual messages, take screenshots and save to cloud storage.
⚠️ Act quickly: Boost Mobile deletes all data immediately after account closure.
⚠️ No recovery: Once deleted, voicemails and messages cannot be recovered.
⚠️ Porting doesn't transfer: Data doesn't automatically move to your new carrier.
⚠️ Plan ahead: Start backing up before initiating any account changes.
💡 Set up automatic cloud backup for future messages on your new carrier.
💡 Export contacts separately — they're not included in message backups.
💡 Test your backup files to ensure they're readable before canceling service.
💡 Consider using Google Messages or iMessage for automatic cloud sync going forward.
