Thanks for taking the time to reach out here in Apple Support Communities sonja142. Based on your post it sounds like you want to recover messages after switching telephone numbers. Is that correct? We'll be happy to provide some insight.


Just to confirm, are you using Messages in iCloud or were your messages stored locally on the iPhone? If you're storing your messages locally on the iPhone, you can try restoring from a backup created before making the changes. Take a look at the article below.


Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup
