    1. Don’t go to the United States

    If you really have to…

    1. Backup phone.
    2. Factory reset (make sure you really backed up everything)
    3. Install only essential apps (not from backup). Don’t log into anything.
    4. Cross border. (you just got a new phone and haven’t set it up yet)
    5. Restore backup.

      Well, regrettably, I live here. I will, also regrettably, be returning from a trip to Europe.

      But I didn’t really want to lose my text conversations. Very little of it has to do with politics but, you know, there’s probably some on there somewhere.

        You won’t lose them if you back them up. SMS Backup and Restore can automate the task for you.

          I’ll look into it. In the past I seen to recall that all of the contacts were there but the previous conversations were either fine or severely truncated.

        SMS Import/Export has worked really well for me lately.
