How to retrieve text messages?

I broke my iPhone 4S recently, but just received my new one after 2 weeks. I have been getting text messages on my broken phone (screen was black but still would vibrate), and I want to read my texts. Is there any way to retrieve the messages that have not been opened, but were sent to the old phone? I have the same number, but nothing showed up when I turned on my new phone.

If you've backed up your phone via iTunes, all of your messages will still be there as of that point. You can take it to a iPhone data recovery place and have them retrieve the text messages from iPhone right now.
Hopefully you do it often and wont lose many of the new ones.

  • How to retrieve text messages that I mistakenly deleted??(Please help!!)

    I've had the Verizon VX8300 for 3 years since 2007 and I have upgraded to the HTC Incredible Droid and received it as a Christmas gift on Christmas morning. When my dad was disconnecting the old phone, I figured that it would be automatically transferable because everything else transferred like my contacts, voice messages, pics, etc. I was looking through old texts and accidentally deleted all of my texts that I've kept for souvenir and they were very memorable and special to me from friends/family. Now I was wondering if there's anyway I can get this data back whether it's getting a printout or using an online free trial of a text message retriever like Asfotech, Bitpim, or Wondershare Data Recovery. I've went to 3 different Verizon stores and none were helpful and didn't even bother looking at my old phone.
    PS: I know you need like a court order or a subpoena but that is extremely silly and unnecessary because would I honestly need a court order just to retrieve harmless innocent messages like "What's Up?" or "How's it going, man?". Someone said that Verizon archives the messages and it's my privacy so I should have the right to get a printout of MY messages and it would be so messed up if Verizon wouldn't let someone look at their OWN text messages on their OWN phone if they deleted them on accident. It's not like they would be invading my privacy anyways all they would need to do is print them out without looking at them. I have nothing to hide anyways so it wouldn't be a big deal to me.

    I understand what you are saying but whats to say for example the account owner (a parent) decided to have all the messages retrieved for them of their child who is on the account??? Verizon has NO IDEA if that person is their child, relation, boyfriend, employee..... That is why court orders are necessary.
    But in your case unless the messages you want are from the last 6-10 days, they are (as Ernie Harwell used to say) "LONG GONE" from Verizon's servers.
    I know the feeling of losing texts you planned to keep. A few months ago, I was playing with force closing apps and in doing so deleted a bunch I was keeping. That is why I found an app to sand messages to an email address also.

    Does anyone know how to retrieve text messages that were deleted by accident today?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Assuming you have a backup that predates the point at which you deleted your text messages, you would need to restore your phone from a backup to recover those messages.

    Phone died.  How do I retrieve text messages that were on phone.

    Unfortunately, unless you had them backed up and stored elsewhere (like on the SD card or your computer), they most likely aren't retrievable.
    Are you sure the phone is completely dead?  Have you tried holding the power and volume down buttons simultaneously for 15-20 seconds to see if that will reboot the phone?

    Hello do anyone know how to forward text messages to your email???

    Very simple, at least on my Stratosphere. Tap on the message, then tap the Menu button and select Forward. In the To field, enter the desired e-mail address (or start typing a name from your contacts; it will pick up e-mail addresses from there). Press Send, and it goes.
