How to setup Auto backup for your Call Logs and SMS using 3rd party application:

I am using SMS Backup + available for free from Google play store. There are many 3rd party applications available to backup SMS and call logs. It is however beyond the scope to test all the applications available in the market. The main reason for this article is to provide you with having a backup for all the call logs and specially the SMS in case of disaster to your phone or in case you delete your important SMS such as bank transaction alerts, credit card payment, sms from your love once, etc.. or call logs to keep a record of the frequent conversations.
