Transfer Contacts and Text Messages from Old iPhone to A New iPhone

My father has just brought me a shiny new iPhone 5C which I would like to fill up with my old previous SMS text messages and contacts. The rest of the stuff I can sync without an issue. Is there any way of copying the data from one to the other?

Got the latest iPhone 5C/5S and want to transfer your valuable files, such as text messages and contacts from your old iPhone 3GS/4/4S to the new gadget? Well, switching to a new device is extremely an exciting thing. But how to deal with the precious data in the original device is always making you scratched. If you are a business man, you must have saved hundreds of thousands of contacts in your phone and it will be time-assuming task to type them into your new iPhone one by one. Of course, you can backup the data on your old iPhone to iTunes and then sync them to the new iPhone. But the transferring process is complicated and riddled with errors. You need to:

1. Launch iTunes. (Make sure you have the latest version of iTunes and iOS)
2. Connect your old iPhone to the computer and sync it to iTunes. Then, eject it from the computer.
3. Plug your new iPhone to the same computer and iTunes will ask you if you want to restore from a backup. Just choose the backup of your old iPhone to restore.

However, syncing with bulky iTunes will greatly slow down the system running you may spend hours to perform the transferring process. Sometime it can be difficult to find the location of backup files of your old iPhone and even get the data erased because someone always forget to turn off the erasing function during syncing. Any way to process the transferring without iTunes?
