ARC file is a compressed archive file format designed by System Enhancement Associated (SEA). Compression reduces the size of the archive containing one or more files or folders to facilitate sharing of files with other users.
VMG (vMessage) is a file format used by Nokia phones. VMG files store by default sent and received SMS messages. Single VMG files contains the actual text of SMS message and related metadata, such as information about the sender, and date sent or received.
After converting the file to the new format, you will be able to use other programs to support it. Keep in mind, however, that the ARC file after converting to VMG may differ slightly from the original. The most important information should be kept, but if you want the file after conversion from ARC to VMG to be the same, you have to do this carefully and choose the proper application from the list below.
There is no guarantee, of course, that the conversion will come up to all your expectations, but it will certainly help you. If, after all, the effect of converting ARC to VMG does not meet your expectations, you can simply try to find on the Internet a different version of your file in ARC format, properly converted to a VMG file by someone else. If this fails, use the information provided in the further part of the website.
If after converting the file ARC the desired result was not achieved, you can try to change the format of ARC file to other than VMG. On our website you will find more information on the following conversion options
Unfortunately, if after performing the two previously described steps (trying to find your ARC file converted by someone else, and the attempt to convert it to VMG on your own) you still have a problem with your file, then there are only a few solutions left. You can once again try to find and install an application that can open the ARC file in its original format (without conversion to VMG file). Such a solution will be difficult to implement, but it certainly will give the best result.
