VMG files are used on several mobile platforms (for example Nokia/Symbian and non-Android Samsung phones) to backup and export SMS messages. With VMG Converter you can easily view and import plain text SMS messages exported from your old phone in.VMG or.VMSG files into Android SMS storage. The VMG Document file format VMG (vMessage) files are used for the storage of SMS text messages in a plain text format often used by Nokia phones. The information contained in the file includes: sender, date, time, and message contents. A vmg to txt conversion seems to be mostly related to an attempt to convert SMS messages saved in Nokia phones (.vmg) to a standard plain text format (.txt).It appears that there is no need for conversion of any kind, simple renaming of the suffix from vmg to txt should do the trick.
1st Method: Open it in another program.
When you double-click VMG files, your computer attempts to open it in a program associated with VMG files. If there’s no program associated with VMG files on your computer, the file won’t open. To open the file, download one of the most popular programs associated with VMG files such as Nokia Text Message.
2nd Method: Take a hint from the file type.
The VMG file extension usually indicates it's under the umbrella of Misc Files. However, if it’s another file type, it might not open with one of the programs listed above. Take the following steps to find the file type:
- Right-click the file.
- Click “Properties” (Windows) or “More Info” (Mac).
- Locate the file type under either “Type of File” (Windows) or “Kind” (Mac).
3rd Method: Check with the developer.
So you’ve tried using a different program, you’ve confirmed the file type, and your VMG file still won’t open. Even if these methods were unsuccessful, you might still be able to reach out to a software developer for help. Use the chart below to find the developer for each of the programs mentioned above and contact them directly for assistance.
Software | Developed By |
---|---|
