Can you restore text messages from Verizon Cloud to a Samsung Stratosphere?

I pocket erased all my text messages.  I have them backed up to the Cloud supposedly, but can't figure out how to download them back onto my phone.  Went to a Verizon Wireless store today and they were useless.  They didn't know anything about using Cloud.  Looking online here, it appears that I should be able to select them and restore them, but I don't have the download option when I'm in Cloud.
Any alternatives to Cloud to restore these deleted texts too?

I spent about 15 minutest trying to have the same question answered by the Verizon tech support people.  The first answer I received was that it was not possible to restore the messages.  When I asked why the Verizon Cloud offered the option to save messages, I was told to hold. About 5 minutes later, I was told that I had to open the Messages app and wait for the messages to download.  I had done that for two hours and nothing....Finally, I decided to save all the messages on the phone's SIM card using the Messages' "Save Conversations" option.  I then, transferred the SIM card to the new phone, told it to "Restore Messages from SIM card and viola. All the messages were restored.  I hope this helps. Until Verizon figures out the glitch in their app, this is the best way to restore your text messages.
