In any case you will have to use a "persistent" store. Easiest thing to do is to create a configuration class and store all information in that and put that class in the session state. What are your main concerns against using session state? Storing 20 variables in a session is not a problem at all.

Second option is to store the info in the querystring, but that's not very nice and probably not safe. You could also run into length issues with the maximum length of the querystring.

Third option is to use a database backend, but that's overkill.

Fourth option is to store the data in cookies, but if cookies are not enabled on the client you can't store the data.

Is there a need of two pages? Why don't we have a single page and has these two page's functinality/UI in two Panels on the same page. Show first one and hide second one initially, later hide info page panel and show sms one. This would be easiest, best from performance both server and client side and would take least coding to get the functionality you need.

Though, if you want to stick to two page thing then you need create an object model, store all the values of first page into it. When you go back to first page from sms page, get back data from the object and fill the controls back.
