Sim Card Question

keltbrat

i am on an O2 contract, my phone broke 4 weeks ago so i decided to get an unlocked cheap pay as you go mobile to use this sim in.

If i insert my O2 contract sim into new phone will it retrieve any texts that have been sent over the last few weeks?

Depends on whether your phone stored them on your sim card or the phone's memory. The sim card storage is limited to 20 sms.

if your right thats great.

On my old broken phone all my texts were saved to memory but i was thinking all the texts that were sent when phone was broke where would they go? surely they would come to the sim ( mobile number) i still have on contract?

So long as the messages have not been received on your other phone, then the backlog should be stored on the 02 server. So as soon as you get an active connection they will come flooding in, just like if you turned your phone off for a month.
Some messages might be missing if they are over a month odd as the server may clean out undelivered messages.
