Dropped my iPhone at weekend and cracked screen - have insurance and the handset is going to be replaced, new handset, so they asked me to back up the iPhone so I don't lose much data.

Question is around text messages - I have a lot of business related text messages on my phone that I don't want to lose. So if I back-up the phone then wipe all text messages off before it gets sent away, when they send me a new phone and I restore from back-up, will my text messages be saved ?

I did speak to Vodafone and they said yes but she wasn't very sure and I got the impression she was not 100%.

Anyone had any experience ?

Yes, if I remember correctly a backup will save everything and you can restore when you get it back

If you backup via iTunes then absolutely everything will be restored, texts, contacts, call history, icon placement and even your wallpaper

My old 3GS was broken and just usable, so when backing up it have me an option for everything, not just choons or pictures etc. Plugged 4S in when purchased and every contect, text message etc etc was swapped over. Even settings were identical
