Transferring from one iPhone to another?

So here is what's up. My iPhone 4s took a dive into my water filled sink two nights ago. I just bought a new iPhone from a friend today but I haven't transferred over to it yet. Will I get the texts people have tried sending me while my phone has been off onto my new iPhone when I activate it? It has been shut off since it was ruined but I didn't know if that would make a difference or not.

It depends on how long it has been off. A week is usually the timeframe before the carrier network gives up trying to send the message.

  • Transferring things from one IPhone to anther? My phone cracked lasted week and the new one arrives tomorrow. I have to clear everything from the old one onto the new one. I have quite a lot of stuff on there all pretty important to me. I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me figure out how to transfer all/as much as I can onto the new one As soon as possible.
  • Transferring data onto another iPhone? I have to get a new iPhone. I'm sending it back and getting a new one. I have things like photos, music, etc on my phone. I know music and apps are easy to put back on but there are notes, game data and contacts. I also have my stuff backed up onto iCloud, how would I put stuff from this phone onto my new one?
  • Transferring Contacts from one iphone to another iphone? So I still have the 3GS. I know! Well it recently stopped working, but I just placed my sim card in my mom's old iPhone 3GS. I want to know how to move all my contacts, apps, and pics from my old iPhone to my current one (my moms) Although I want to try and not delete any of my moms stuff on here either. I have tried EVERYTHING icloud, itunes and nothing is working. I don't know if its because when it shows up on the computer its under my moms name or what?
