Viewing text & Imessages on Windows PC

Anonymous

I wonder if someone could help me please.  My Iphone 5s has died.  I have an appointment with an apple technician in a weeks time.  In the mean time I will have people trying to contact me via text message or imessage.  Is there any way I can view these texts and any future texts on my pc?  Thanks

I don't believe this is possible on a Windows PC, only a Mac/Macbook/iPod/iPad from what i can remember.

 

Basically any other Apple product that has iMessage and is signed in with the same Apple ID can be used to view your new messages.

 

However, whats wrong with your phone? Some of the members on here might be able to help you

Thanks for the response.  The problem has been the black screen but when Ive gone through the fixes with the technicians its not resolves and the screen turns blu, sometimes red and sometimes remains black with whit speckles all over.  They have booked me in to see them next week.  Thanks again for reply.

Did you use iCloud?

 

I'm not 100% sure (and other members can correct me if I am wrong) but it may be possible to view some of the saved data?
