Another app I can suggest is Device Switch from BBW, you can backup to your SD or transfer directly to your 'new' phone.
My SIM is in. I am still using the old phone. Calls, text msging, WhatsApp, etc. all work. I haven't switched over to the newer phone yet because I won't have access to current text threads (or anything since the last backup, which I loaded onto the new phone). I also won't have some of my Contacts (entered/updated since the backup).
When i open BBW, it tells me that I have "No Network Connection", and to connect to a WiFi or mobile network. Obviously I *am* connected to a mobile network, but Data Services have gotten turned off somehow (I can't use the browser, either). Otherwise, as you were thinking, I should be able to get to BBW over the mobile data network. But I can't, which is why I thought that if the phone would auto-connect to a previously-kinown WiFi network (so that I don't need Settings), then I might be able to download your suggested apps from BBW.
