How to restore my new iPhone with my old iPhone's information?

I bought a 4S recently. I backed up my old 3GS on itunes and then plugged my new 4S into intunes and started set up. It warned me that I should update to IOS 6 first so I set it up as a new phone and did that. When it had finished, it had all of my apps on it but none of my old settings such as email accounts, texts or imessages. It did have contacts. Is that normal? I should also mention that I used to belong to one network and bought this phone from a different network provider and requested a pac code which has not finalised yet. I'm still using the old phone so I don't confuse anyone with my temporary number and my 4S is on airplane mode.

How do I get my old texts etc.onto my new phone? Also, how will I know when the pac code has worked and the old phone won't work and the new one will have my number?

I sorted out switching my father-in-laws stuff from his iPhone 3GS to his 4S and I'm pretty certain it transferred his pictures, contacts and apps but not messages or email account settings. Was almost a year ago though so I'm not totally sure.
