Thanks a lot, fromsouth, for your prompt advice. But, just before I was to follow same, my teen-aged neighbor happened by and suggested I look in my iPad messages. Sure enough, since he had helped set up my new iPhone and it had been synced with thePad, messages therein were still intact! Thus I was saved from losing any newer info.

Not withstanding the foregoing, I do wish to express my appreciation for your correct, timeous, response to my question!

Best regards.
