How can I save my text messages from my Iphone onto my computer?

I am having a software issue with my Iphone and apple reccomended that I completly restore my iphone as new. So i have synced all my contacts, photos and calenders on to my computer to save them. Is there a program you can use to save all your past text messages to your computer and then put them back onto your iphone?|||Try iPhone Transfer SMS. I've never used it but have heard it works.
