Need text messages on old sim - GSM-Forum

When I bought a new phone last week, I wanted one sim free as I have a sim only contract. The phone I selected came with a compulsory £20 top-up. Because my wife has a payg, we simply made the top-up over to her phone.

We were told in the shop (orange) that she might receive a text stating her current sim needed changing to the new one. She did and we swapped it over.

Last night she realised that there were some text messages on the old sim, that she wanted to keep (sentimental).

I am now of the opinion that if I go to the orange shop, they might be able somehow to transfer the text messages to the new sim.

Or, would it work if I put the old sim back in her phone, and forwarded the messages individually to my phone then when that was done, re-inserted her new sim and I send them back to her?.

If that is a yes, would anything from the new sim be lost?
