Text Message Restore

[tfracs33]

Hey guys,

The power button on my 8x has taken a dump and I am being sent a new phone in the next couple days.

I have some very important text messages that I would like to keep and had a couple questions. I have the setting ON to automatically back up text messages to my Skydrive

1) Where to the messages actually backup
2) Is there somewhere I can check to see that the file is backed up?
3) Do the automatically restore when I login to my new phone with my Outlook.com account?

Thank you in advance,

Tony

When you set up your new 8X, you'll have the option to restore. It'll pull everything that got saved at the last save point. Texts, apps, you name it.

Some people had luck checking their messages in this thread. http://forums.windowscentral.com/windows-phone-8/213500-sms-back-up-can-viewed-online.html
But it might not work anymore. When you login to your new phone, it should ask about restoring a backup, and if you do the messages should come to your new phone.
