All TelCos in all countries have backup of the SMS messages. The key part is for how long and what details.

In the US, for example AT&T is only a couple of days; Verizon, 3-10 days for SMS contents. Everything else like subscriber info, call history, tower location, tower dumps, range-to-tower can be years.

In EU similar patchwork.
