Can I get transcripts of text messages FROM MY OWN ACCOUNT?

We are on a family share plan, and our teenage daughter (age 13) is on our account.  We'd like a transcript of her text messages, and since we are the owners of the plan and she is a minor, I was wondering if we can get these.

Not without a court order, and even then it's only for a limited span of time.
Several posts all essentially the same question. A search for "content" in the Messaging (Text, Picture, IM, etc.) board brings up dozens of posts:
Obtaining details of text messages
Retrieving content
messaging
Text message content
text message contents
Finding out the content of son's text messaging...can add something to the bill?
Daughter just turned 13 & has a cell phone w/Texting. How do I monitor the content of her texts?
...you get the idea.

  • How can I get rec'd text messages from the same subscriber not be appended

    Hi,
    Is there a way to configure the Apple iphone so that text messages from the same subscriber are displayed separately rather than appended to each other? In this way accidentally deleting one message wouldn't delete the entire history of messages from this subscriber.
    When I launch the SMS service by pressing the green SMS button I am met by a screen that says Text Messages. On the left of this there is a button that says Edit and on the right there is one that is for writing a new message. Down the page are my messages all grouped by the originator of each messages. If I choose one I see that all messages from this source are present appended one after the other. There is also the option now to Clear on the top right hand corner. It is this Clear option I am worried about. If I choose Clear I am asked for a confirmation and then lo and behold as expected all my messages from this subscriber are deleted.
    This is a work phone for support purposes and most of the texts will be from the telephone operator (i.e. the one same number) saying we have an email waiting to be read with a subject title giving a little description. I want to be in a position so that I don't accidentally delete the entire history of messages, say some evening when I'm tired or Monday morning if I 'm a bit asleep. Ideally I would prefer that each text message would stand alone in the Text Messages window irrespective of the originator and not be appended in a group fashion. Is there a way to do this?
    Kind regards,
    M

    There is no way to do that on the iPhone. Messages will always be grouped into a 'conversation' based on the sender/recipient. Only Apple can change that behavior.
    You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.

  • Can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac

    can I get the same text messages on both my iPhone and my iMac
    It seems that my Mac is getting them and they dont show up on my iphone.

    Hi julian KAYE!
    You will want to make sure that both your computer and phone have all options checked in the “Start new conversations from” section in your Messages settings:
    iOS: Using Messages
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3529
    You can change the address that new iMessage conversations are started with in Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > Start new conversations from. Note that this setting applies only to new conversations. If you would like to change the address from which messages are sent, first change this setting, and then delete the existing conversation and start a new one.
    iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

  • My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini?

    My iPhone 5S drowned in a rainstorm. How can I retrieve contacts and text messages from iCloud backup onto my iPad mini? There are some contacts on the iPad already but nowhere near all of them. I need to re-enter the contacts manually into an iPhone 4 as it does not support iOS 8.

    Let me get this straight.....You lost your phone.  You never backed it up, either to your computer or to a cloud service.
    How in the world would you expect to get data back?

  • How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone?

    How can I stop my incoming text messages from going to my daughter's iphone?  I have the 4s she has the 4.  When she got the latest update, everything on our phones synced.  She got her own apple id, but she is still getting all of my text messages.

    This is with iMessages only, and because she has the same email address available and selected under You can be reached at at Settings > Messages > Send & Receive.

  • Is there any way to access my old my verizon account to retrieve old text messages from my own old account from 8 months ago?  I am getting a divorce and I need info off of that account for my hearing to prove what he did.

    Is there any way to access my old my Verizon account to retrieve old text messages from my own old account from 8 months ago?  I am getting a divorce and I need info off of that account for my hearing to prove what he did.

    What do you mean by "when I brought the messages up back in March"?
    Were the messages on your phone? Simply because messages are on your phone does not mean they are still on Verizon's servers. You use internal phone memory to store messages on your phone. The messages do not stay on Verizon's servers until you delete them from your phone.
    On the other hand, if you still have your phone and have not reset it since you stopped using it, the texts may still be on your phone. Good luck.

  • I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

    I can't send or receive text messages from non iphone users

    Under Settings - Messages, do it state Sens SMS ON? Should be (this applies to imessage but just in case).
    Same area, MMS Messaging is on? Should be.
    If all else fails, go into Settings General Reset - Reset Network Settings (this will lose WiFi info but fixes a lot of messaging errors).

    How can I retrieve my deleted text messages from my iPhone 5s?  I don't sync to a computer, only to iCloud.  My last backup was 2/19/14.

    Unless you had them backed up somewhere, I'm afraid they are gone.

  • How do I get my old text messages from my iPhone to my new Galaxy?

    Recently, I just upgraded from an iPhone 4 to a Samsung Galaxy 4.  I upgraded my account from Sprint and got my new phone at Best Buy.  I'm trying to get into my iTunes because I know I recently synched my iPhone on my iTunes a little over a week ago.  What I'm trying to do is get into my iTunes because I know my iCloud is backed up on iTunes.  I got all of my contacts and pictures already transferred from my iPhone to my Galaxy.  Now, that last thing I'm really worried about is my old text messages. There is this old text message that I'm needing to save, but I can't seem to figure out how to get my old text messages to my new phone.
    Is there some way I can get those back or what I need to go to Geek Squad to help me with this?

    Apple has not designed the iPhone for loading up old messages across phone platforms.
    Screenshot the important stuff on the Android or use a tool to archive the old SMS on your computer.

  • How can I read non-deleted text messages from months ago without having to continuously press "Load Earlier Messages"?

    I never deleted text messages from a specific person in case I ever wanted to go back and look at them. Now months have gone by and I don't feel like continuously pressing "Load Earlier Messages" for hours trying to get back and look at them. Is there anyway I can upload the whole conversation on to my computer and read the entire conversation from the beginning?

    Yes.
    I use iBackupBot.

  • I can only get or send text messages to other iMessage users

    I am not able to receive text messages from people unless they are on IMessage.  Several people have told me they have sent me texts but I am not getting them.  Also, people are not getting my texts.  This has happened since I got my iPhone 4s.

    Yes contact your provider, you most likely do not have texting turned on, they can turn it off,mine is,I can only use i message but wanted it that way, because I do not care to have to pay for the messages people send me
    with i message it is free

  • HT1766 I'll be getting the Iphone 5 when it's released, either Friday or Saturday - depending when I have the day off of work...  Is there a way I can transfer my previous conversations/text messages from my Iphone 4 to my Iphone 5?

    Is it possible/how can I transfew all of my text messages I currently have on the iphone 4 to the iphone 5 when I get the new Iphone?
    For example, let's say I'm having a text message conversation with you over a 3 day period.  I never delete the text message/our conversation from my Iphone 4...  Can I have that (and all other text message conversations) transfered over to the new Iphone so I can resume the conversation where it was left off??  Please help.  Thank you very much!!  PS:  I'm not exactly computer savvy. 

    It is explained here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4946
    Under "iTunes will back up the following information"
    Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos).
    P.S. I would call before you drive too.  I live within a half hour drive of two Apple Stores, several AT&T and Verizon Corp. stores, several BestBuys and a couple of Sprint Stores.  When the iPhone 4s came out, the local news reported that every single source was sold out within an hour of opening the doors on release day.  For that first week or so, stock arriving in the morning was sold out by noon - it was literally not worth even trying to buy in store for that first week or so, it was sheer bedlam.
