Stolen iphone- recovering messages received before replacement?

My iphone was stolen and I was able to replace it. I know that I was messaged during the time period where I did not have a phone. Is there any way to recover these messages?

If you activated the new phone with the same phone number and they did not populate, then probably not. They are only held at the server for a short period of time and will only attempt to send for that short period of time as well. You do have the option of contacting your carrier to ask them, and you could also try contacting Apple Care to ask them if the same is true for iMessages. Otherwise, there is no other way to recover them.
