Hi all who could possibly help me...
Basically I need to restore my iphone. If I do so will I lose my messages?? I have some that are mainly sentimental value so I do not want to lose them. If I do restore my iphone and lose them is there any way of getting them back? Any suggestions from pro iphone users before I push the button??!!!!
thanks !!
P.s I have backed up all my music, photos, videos, apps, etc so its JUST the messages that I am concerned with.. ooh and maybe my contacts in my phone book!!!

Depends on what you mean by restore your phone. If you create a current backup, then restore from that backup, the SMSs on your phone will be restored to your phone(SMSs are included in the iPhone backup). If you restore as a new device, they will be erased from your phone. You can extract SMSs from your phone & save them on your computer, using third-party software. However, there is no way to put them back on your phone:
