Text messages from Icon to Note 8

[beerme1]

Hey. Need some help. I've decided to walk away from Microsoft as I've had enough of being treated the way they feel is appropriate.
I do not accept what they are doing to me as a customer.

So I'm going back to Android after four years with my Icon and took my wife with me and migrated her from an iPhone. Transferring text messages, contacts, photo's, call history etc was a smooth as butter from her iPhone to the Samsung.
My Icon on the other hand...well naturally. So I got most of what I need but can't get the text messages to migrate no matter what I try. Called VZW and they say it can't be done. Took it to Best Buy and they can't do it. I can only manage to go in reverse and transfer new texts from the Note to Icon which of course serves no purpose.

Someone must have a way around this that isn't over the top difficult I hope and ask that you would share it here please?
I have tried Transfer my data app as well as the Samsung transfer app.

I did not transfer text messages when I switched from Windows Phone to Android almost 3 years ago. However, you might want to try this. https://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=786770&p=5952228&viewfull=1#post5952228 Someone had success with it.
