However, when upgrading to iOS 7 with your iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch, it is quite possible for you to lose all or part of your important files, including video, music, photos, SMS text messages, contacts and more. Sine SMS messages may contain much important information, you need to recover them immediately.

Note: You ought to stop using your iPhone once you find you lost data after iOS 7 upgrading. Also, you should not sync your iPhone to iTunes again unless you’ve found the lost SMS messages, because a new sync can update the iTunes backup file and make your previous data go forever.
