Well, I do have an iPad, so I'm thinking that the message would come through on the iPad even if I was setting up an iPhone. Also, as somebody else noted, I tend not to shut off my old phone until the new one is actually set up. So I guess the message would come across on the old phone. As long as there isn't a problem with receipt of the messages, I guess I'll be OK. Mary
