unlock phone I lose my text messages

AT & T are allowing me to unlock my phone.  The instructions say to backup my phone to iTunes (I do regularly), clear my phone, and then restore the backup phone.  I will answer all my text messages?  I don't want to lose my texts.  There are some members of the family that I don't want to lose.

In addition, will erase the phone to get rid of all the Junk (texts, photos, memos and other junk) I deleted over the past two years that never really goes away that takes place behind the scenes on your phone?  I hope that this will make my phone faster.

Thank you!

Well - you said you want to have your cake and eat it too-

Please, let me explain

Backup your phone to iTunes and then restore after restoring like nine to unlock taking effect WILL bring back all your texts - I've done it with three phones and worked every time

BUT that the restoration will also bring back the files that may be too much space on your phone as well

IF you want to keep your texts - but to get rid of other things that may not be necessary

Consider the software like TouchCopy or iPhone Backup Extractor

You may be able to keep copies of your text on a computer - not on the phone

And then wipe and restore your phone but only load the stuff you use every day on this subject - it will be leaner

  • Why can't send a text message

    For some reason, that my phone cannot send a text message but it can receive calls and texts and calls. What should I do I have updated my PRL and profiles of school boards also, I reset the phone several times. Anyone wlse have this problem?

    The PRL is manually updated on the 4G phones. It is updated automatically.

    My first suggestion would be to try starting in safe mode to see if you can send a text. I think you need to remove the possibility that a 3rd party app causing a problem. When you did test then please post your results and we continue to solve the problem from there. I hope this helps.

  • If I have if I reset my phone will be I lose contacts and text messages

    If I reset my phone I'll lose contacts and text messages

    If you mean if you hold the Home and Power buttons simultaneously and keep them pressed until the Apple appears, then unless there is a problem, you lose all the data. However, it is always a good idea to have a backup in case things go wrong.

    Good luck

  • After update I only receive text messages on my phone instead of my iPad too.

    I have always received my SMS on my iPhone and iPad if someone was to send SMS from an iPhone.  Tonight I've updated my software and now I only receive text messages on my phone but not my iPad.  How can I fix?

    Fact you check setting to send and receive on the iPad? Make sure that the e-mail address is always selected.

    If it is, try to force reboot the device by holding down the button sleep and home for 10 seconds, until the Apple logo comes back again. You won't lose data, but it can clear some problems after installing new software.

  • Is «Find your iPhone» send automatic text messages, which do not appear on the phone?

    I'm on a pre-pay program with my iPhone 5.  Recently, I discovered that the balance of my phone has been reduced, even if I did not use my phone at this time.  My local carrier has since informed my that my iPhone has sent international text messages (which I don't see on my phone), and it is because of "Antitheft" is enabled in the settings on my phone that I need to turn it off.

    (1) I can't find anything called anti-theft on my phone - anything like this exist?

    (2) I am working on the assumption that maybe my carrier meant the "find my iPhone" and not anti-theft.  But "Find my iPhone" send SMS to a number, without any notification to me?

    1 n ° find that my iPhone is probably what they were referring.

    2 No., SMS Messages are sent to England for activation of iMessage, which you will not be charged if you use your phone with a carrier iPhone supported.
