it was/is my understanding that all messages in Google (those you haven't deleted) will, over time, populate on the new phone. (Google is not known for its blazing speed in this regard)

I've always used SMS Backup Retore Pro on all devices I highly recommend

SMS Backup & Restore Pro - Apps on Google Play

A simple app to back up and restore SMS & MMS messages and call logs.

play.google.com
