I copied and saw my texts after ssh’ing, but now I can’t send or receive any texts. Any reasons why?

1. Copy the two files as described (3d0d7e5f…) from the ‘source’ backup to a temporary directory. In addition also copy the three files:
a) Info.plist
b) Manifest.plist
c) Status.plist

For information :

for sms: locate the file named 3d0d7e5fb2ce288813306e4d4636395e047a3d28.mddata or .mdbackup on your computer.

for address book contacts: the file’s name is 31bb7ba8914766d4ba40d6dfb6113c8b614be442.mddata or .mdbackup

I only want to transfer the sms messages. it’s not clear if this procedure replaces only sms or all data (address book, calendar, etc) from the older iphone onto the new iPhone. Could you clarify this please?
