What kind of messages? iMessages? Email messages? Voicemail messages?

If you're asking about iMessage/SMS messages, then you need to restore a backup:

If you're referring to emails, they're stored on a server and you need only add the account to your iPhone. If you're referring to voicemail messages, then contact your carrier.
