Restore SMS from a phone with broken screen

Question

I have a Samsung Galaxy S phone with a broken screen. I have text messages on it from about 2 years ago (which I need for court).

After the screen broke I changed service providers. Now their is no service to the phone. So if I fix the phone will my messages still be on the phone?

You might want to take a look at How do I backup data (SMS/contacts) from a device with a broken screen? -- as you main issue is probably exactly that. Once you've restored them, you most likely will not care if a screen replacement would wipe them from the device :) — Izzy, Jun 25 '13 at 06:32

The SMS will still be there, assuming that:

you have not wiped, or done a Factory Reset on the phone
the SMS was saved to the Phone and not the SIM
the phone can still be repaired
