Will my text messages be preserved when I port from Verizon to Visible?

[FreddieD]

I’m transferring from an expensive Verizon plan. I have iPhone text messages which go back years which I would love to keep.

Will my text messages be preserved when I port from Verizon to Visible?

For anyone who is looking up the answer to this question, I spent a bit of time trying to direct message Visible on social media, and I did get a reply in a chat with a nice representative on Insta:
”Your text messages will not be deleted as long as you did not factory reset your device or clear cache/data the messaging app. ^LT” 

I really think they should make this information more available… I can’t be the only one wondering about this!

Yes they should.  the texts are in iCloud.

Messages are stored on your phone or in the cloud and should be available regardless of carrier; however, if concerned back them up to iCloud.

Your welcome.  Its good information to know.  I've had an iPhone for years and switched to different carriers so that is also how I know.
