Q: Swapping SIM card without loosing messages

Will I loose my messages and call history when I swap the SIM card for a local card when traveling. Every search I've made is telling me how to delete them which is exactly what I don' want to do.

I have an iPhone 5 on 9.3.1, and a 3 on 6.1.6,

iPhone 5, iOS 9.3.1

A:

Swapping a SIM card should have no effect on your messages and call history, as they are not stored on a SIM card.

 

Is your phone unlocked?Are you free to use another carrier's SIM card? Will you back up your phone to iTunes as a standard way of being prepared? Have you contacted your current carrier for their advice?
