Getting info off an old mobile phone

Didn't know where to post....does anyone know if there is a way of recouping deleted texts received & sent from an old mobile phone which no longer has the sim card?

I could ask in a phone shop but think this may be more of a techie question.

Have you got a SIM card from the same network provider? So if it's an 02 phone, another 02 SIM?

That may activate the phone but the texts need to be in the phone memory, not the SIM card's.

The messages may have been overwritten, in which case they cannot be recovered. However, if they haven't been overwritten it may be possible with the right equipment but it isn't something you can do at home.

Thankyou. Any idea what "right equipment" I would need & where I would access this or get in touch with someone with that sort of technology?

I am grateful for your answers so far.
