Is there any alternate messaging apps besides the stock one on windows phone 8? I like the stock on just wondering if there are any better alternates anyone enjoys?

No, there is none. This isn't android

What would you like in an alternative? The native messaging is awesome.

There are other "chat" apps but not messaging.

I use Outsider and WhatsApp. IM+ is pretty cool since you can use many different types of messenger services, like FB and Yahoo.

I use Kik.

Runs better than when I had an Android phone.

Default is the best. Windows Phone doesn't need alternative messaging app.

I just received a HTC Trophy and need to copy my text messages but was told that I needed to get a third party messaging app. Any suggestions of a good app, ideally to copy from old phone to new one or even to copy from phone to computer? I need to keep my old text messages!
