Will you still receive text messages while transferring data between an old iPhone and a new one?

This is very true! I was just wondering if anybody had any insight into if messages can still be received mid-transfer!

If I remember correctly text message will try for 24 hours to deliver, but you can confirm that with your phone carrier.

I got a new iPhone today and transferred my old data to the new phone using the method that requires keeping the devices close to each other while they transfer wirelessly.

I did not receive any texts during the transfer and did not have any new ones after the transfer was complete. Was my phone still receiving messages during the transfer?

OR maybe nobody text you during those time periods.
