Sep 9, 2016 8:04 AM in response to Penny Fursemanby SnickZ.,Hi there, Penny Furseman,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. I'm glad to hear that you were able to get your iPhone 5 replaced, but now it seems that you're needing to recover all the text messages that you've received since your last backup. That's a great question. The answer will be determined on whether you restored that backup to your 4s to use while waiting for your new iPhone 5.
How to back up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backupIf you restored your old iPhone 5's backup to your 4s to use while waiting for the replacement, all you'll need to do is back up the 4s and restore that new backup to your replacement iPhone 5. The iPhone 4s added any new messages to the list of the old messages so they'll all be there.
If you didn't restore the iPhone 5's backup to your iPhone 4s to use, you would need to check with your carrier to see if they have those saved.I hope this helps!
