What is VMG file?
VMG (short for .VMG) is a binary-encoded file format used by Nokia to store text messages. It is widely used in older Nokia devices that are based on Symbian operating system. The file is encoded in binary form, meaning the text within it can't be accessed directly without being decoded first. Technical Details of .VMG File Format The VMG file contains text messages, images, sound clips, graphics and other multimedia content. [ ⏩ ] VMG file extension
What is TEXT file?
The .TXT (Plain Text File) file extension is used for text files created on most major operating systems. A text file is simply a file containing plain text, without any formatting or layouts.

Software, that you can use to convert
How to convert the file from VMG to TEXT?
To successfully convert the VMG file to TEXT, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.VMG). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case TEXT (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than TEXT).
What is a file conversion?
A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. VMG to TEXT. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.
Program for converting VMG files to TEXT files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension TEXT, while before this step we had the VMG file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new TEXT file, or not.
