When I change iphones, do I lose all my texts?
I spilt hot chocolate all over my iphone 5 and it now doesn't turn on. My friends told me that they were texting me like crazy, but I obviously couldn't get them. I ordered another iphone 5, but I'm just wondering if when I change my sim card over to my new one, does all of my texts that I haven't received yet go onto my new phone? Or do I lose them? And do you know if there's anything else I can recover or do I lose everything?
Text messages on a iphone are NOT stored on the sim, but on the iphone itself.
Maybe this helps recovering them from your broken iphone; http://www.iphone-ipad-recovery.com/recover-data-from-dead-iphone.html
The messages are not stored on the SIM. They are on the phone itself.
To transfer the texts you would have to back it up using iTunes & then restore from that back up on the new iPhone.
Unfortunately in your case you may not be able to get that backup since it can't turn on, so you could try to recover most of them through a (hopeful) previous backup.
If you have none, then there's nothing you could do.
- Will my texts be saved when I change iPhones? I'm going to upgrade my iphone4 to a new iphone4 but I don't want to loose any of my texts, I have ICloud back up but I don't know if that includes all my texts? If not how can I do this?
- Why does my iPhone sometimes send texts to other iPhones as iMessages then regular texts to iPhones? Like when I send a text to my friend that has an iphone, it usually sends as an iMessage then it will randomly send as just a regular text and it will be green and not blue.

- Is there a way(without computer)to move my texts from my iPad to my IPhone? ICloud backup? Had to restore phone to last backup and lost texts? Hi, yesterday I had to reset my phone (IPhone 8 plus) to factory default and restore it to its last backup (April 15th). I also have an iPad mini, which everything is Synced. I got everything back on my phone (up to date) except my text messages. I'm not able to access my computer right now and have read you can get them back my backing up you messages to ICloud. Is there anything I can do to get them back on my phone (they are still on my iPad mini), without using my Mac?
