Text messages lost during restore

[gemz4the1]

I don't know if this is even possible but there's no harm in asking.

I got my iPhone replaced, however, after i turned my phone on and before i restored it, I got a few text messages.  Most of them are not important but I vaguely remember one of some importance popping up on my screen but I was unable to save it as the restore process started.

The restore has been completed, however the texts I received just before the restore are nowhere to be found.  Is there any way to get them back?

Hi,

Do you still have access to your previous iPhone ?

Only if you performed an icloud / itunes back up first.

No, those that appeared whilst the restore was in process will have been permanently deleted now, unfortunately.....

No sorry - the phone was replaced by Apple and I had to back it all up to iTunes on the old iPhone, wipe the old phone, then when the new iPhone arrived i just restored it all to back up.  Typical of people to text me during that time lol.  I'm just grateful I didn't get text messages or calls during the restore as that happened to me in the past and it interupted the restore and I had to take it to the Apple store to repair the software. 

I was not sure if it was possible.  I guess i just hope one day that O2 will forward the text messages back to me or something lol

Most people complain when O2 send duplicate text messages - LOL

I'm sorry but it seems you'll have to let go of the messages.

I'm pretty sure 02 would not be able to access and forward them on a one off basis.

You could ask the original sender to resend them.

You're welcome.

Hope the replacement iPhone is Ok.

Thank you Band of Brothers!

I don't know if it is the replacement iPhone, the replacement sim or the issues with the network being resolved but (fingers crossed) it seems to be working great now.  I'm very happy with 4G now as I feel that it makes the phone stand out from many other phones with its speed and also shows a bit of quality for the price.

Agree as its the only reason why im buying the 5s to take place of my 5.

4G on payg go go go has now been opened up for the iPhone so im looking forward to changing.
