If you want to transfer text messages from a different Android phone to the Above Phone, you can follow this guide.

__Note__: If you encounter issues importing messages via QUIK SMS, be sure to update it to version 4.10 (or later) via F-Droid, which fixes this bug!

As an alternative it's also possible to use [SMS Import / Export](https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.github.tmo1.sms_ie/). This app also allows you to transfer media messages (MMS) and call logs!  
  
Install the app on both phones and backup / restore in the same manner:   
> **Create backup** on old phone > **transfer backup** file to new phone > **Import backup** file on new phone
