When you have taken your SIM card out of your phone, it should be no different than when you switch your phone off and someone calls you, you only get the notification if they leave a voicemail. Any texts messages should automatically come through when you have turned your phone back on.
If you remove the SIM card from your phone, your text messages will not be deleted from the phone. The SIM card (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small card that stores information such as your phone number and contacts, but it does not store your text messages or other data.
It'll behave the same as if they turned their phone off. The SIM card is just a “key” that allows a device to register to a carrier's network. If it's removed, the phone is no longer registered. If it's OFF, the phone is no longer registered.
Are texts stored on SIM cards? Yes, SIM cards are capable of storing a portion of your messages (the number depends on how much your SIM card can store). But in general, for modern phones, most of your messages are actually stored on the device itself or in cloud storage.
The SIM card memory is not enough to save your pictures. It stores a small amount of info including: your phone number. some contacts and text messages.
This means that your contacts, text messages, photos, and other personal data are not actually stored on the iPhone SIM card. iPhones are designed in such a way that they do not rely heavily on the SIM card to store data. Instead, data is usually stored either in iCloud or on the iPhone's main storage.
No. SIM cards do not store data.
However, without a SIM card, you can't make or receive phone calls, send or receive text messages, or connect to mobile data.
How far back can police retrieve text messages? This answer depends on the phone, its memory, whether the message was deleted, and the phone owner's service provider. If the messages are still on the phone, the police may be able to access them no matter how long ago they were sent.
Are Android text messages stored on SD card or SIM card? Many people want to the answer. In fact, all text messages are saved on Android phones by default. Therefore, if you only have a SIM card, you cannot see the text messages saved on the phone.
However, just because you erase texts on Apple and Android products doesn't mean they're gone for good, according to an expert on the Apple Support Community and Business Insider. They will be hidden, but they may still be saved in system data or elsewhere with your cellphone carrier.
Your provider or "carrier" keeps records of your cellphone use, including calls and text messages, and even pictures sent from your phone. Almost all cellphone carriers give detailed information about a phone's use in billing statements sent to the owner.
Text messaging is shown in call detail records. However, the content of text messages is not. To get the content of text messages, a request must be made to the phone company within days of the incident.
If the balance is not available, the sim is automatically deactivated and therefore cannot be used for any incoming or outgoing calls, texts, or internet. Once the sim is deactivated, the same number is recycled and becomes available in the market for a new user.
Phone numbers without SIM cards i.e virtual numbers use voice-over-internet-protocol (VoIP) technology to route calls over the internet while allowing regular telephone calls. You and your contact will then be able to communicate in real-time purely via VoIP, using the power of the internet.
You can't make calls or send texts
The first sign that you could be a victim of SIM swapping is when your phone calls and text messages aren't going through. This likely means fraudsters have deactivated your SIM card and are using your phone number.
Data that SIM cards contain include user identity, location and phone number, network authorization data, personal security keys, contact lists and stored text messages. SIM cards allow a mobile user to use this data and the features that come with them.

Smartphones' Wi-Fi capabilities are unrelated to their SIMs, so they will still be able to connect to the Wi-Fi even if there is no SIM installed.

Any messages currently stored in iCloud are now accessible on your device, and any new messages you receive on your device will be stored in iCloud.
When you set up iCloud for Messages, your messages are stored in the cloud instead of locally on your device. You can see them on any device that's set up for iCloud and Messages, including your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac.
Some phone companies also keep records of sent text messages. They sit on the company's server for anywhere from three days to three months, depending on the company's policy. Verizon holds texts for up to five days and Virgin Mobile keeps them for 90 days.
