Step1:
Go to settings, sync and backup in old nokia symbian phone. Click on create backup and store the backup in memory card.

.nbf stands for nokia backup file. Just change the extension from .nbf to .zip and extract using winrar/peazip.

I know this is almost a decade later, but I have been looking for a way to view and read SMS messages backed up in the NBF format. I have changed it to .zip and extracted the files. I found the SMS files, is there a way that I can red them?! Maybe en mass?

Thank you :)
