Saving text messages from phone

[LocalHero]

I'm in a dispute with a no-show cabinet maker and am wanting to save the thread of text messages that we've exchanged in a printable format. All of the apps I see on google play want full network access and multiple other permissions that I really don't see the reason for. Is there a simple way to do it or an app from a source to be trusted?

All the threads on this seem pretty old.
I'm using a Motorola Razr m with 4.4.2
The phone is rooted and I just use the stock message app. I have titanium backup and thought that would do it but if it does I haven't been able to figure it out.

Thanks,
John

I have been using SMS Backup + for years and it has never failed me. It stores your SMS in Gmail.

I've never tried to restore them so I don't know if that works, but it sure will send them to Gmail.

Normally the method to save the text messages is to back them up online which would explain the network access. I will say that I have used SMS Backup+ and it stores them in an easily printable format in my GMail account.

Airdroid.

Shows all messages in the browser, then can copy, paste and print what you like. It does require network access, because you're viewing it from your PC or Mac.

I guess I thought it would just store them on the sd card or email them to me. I love all the apps available but always wonder if I'm opening myself up to something evil. This cabinet guy is now saying he'll just give me my money back so I may not need the texts printed out but I'll try it anyway for future reference.

Thanks all!

Both apps suggested here are perfectly safe.
