iCloud and SMS messages
I am getting a new iPhone to replace a lost iPhone. If my data was saved to iCloud, is there a way for me to retrieve or see my old text messages and transfer to the new phone?

Back up your current phone to iCloud, then when setting up your new phone choose Restore from iCloud Backup and restore the backup of your old phone to your new one. The backup will include your messages, as well as other data and settings and your apps and purchased iTunes media. See http://support.apple.com/kb/ht2109.
