This is for Rogers Users
Rogers provides a feature called extreme text messaging, which will forward all texts sent to and from your phone to another phone or to an email address.
As the forwarded email is from rogers communications, it's independent from your phone, and provides proof that you sent a message at a time, or that you received a text from a phone.
How is how to set it up.

I then did two things on my email.
(the following is taken from a another post on OD with a few minor changes)
1. Forward text messages.
I use rogers and they have a free service called extreme text messaging which forwards any text to or from you cell phone to an email address. The email comes from rogers not myself, so it's independant. It's free. I do get all text messages forwarded so I have to delete a lot of text messages from other people, but that's easy using the 2nd step below. Plus it's free.

2. I then created two rules in my email account. the first was any email coming from or sent to my ex or any of her email addresses gets moved automatically to a "ex emails" folder. Second any "rogers extreme text" email which contains my ex's cell phone gets automatically moved to "ex's texts" folder.
When I go into my email I don't see anything from my ex, so I can read my emails without the anxiety of seeing her email there. I can see (beside the folder) that there are unread emails but I can decide when I read them. I do get 40 - 60 rogers text emails a day but they are easy to delete, or I could if I chose to create a rule which deleted those, I chose not to. Takes a whole 30 seconds to delete them.
As for the text messages, rogers communications is sending the emails to me. They are independant and as such there is no mis communication, they can't claim they didn't get it because rogers has confirmed that they sent it to their phone, She can only claim that perhaps she deleted it before reading it, which is of course bogus.
Anyhow using these two steps has really reduced communication. And I was recently (dec 2016) able to rely on texts sent 3 1/2 years ago by submitting the rogers emails into court, and the judge had absolutely no problem relying on them. Every useful.
If my ex sends me an email she knows I generally won't look at it for a few days, so if it's urgent, she'll send a quick text "btw I sent you an email" to let me know it's urgent.
I don't know if any other providers provide this service. But I believe this is better than apps which backup your phone. This system is independent, when I lose my phone it doesn't matter I still have the emails. Lastly last year I went about 4 months without a cell phone as my screen was broken, and I couldn't be bothered to fix it. All the texts still came in on my email.
In fact I generally have the email of the text pop up on my email before it pops up on the cell phone. That's how fast it is.
Best thing is my ex had no idea this was even possible or that I had done it back while we were going through trial over 4 1/2 years ago.
