How do I recover a deleted text message on iPhone 4?

Is there any way to recover (for free?) deleted text messages on the iPhone 4?  Any suggestions would be appreciated

howdy TechChicClik,
It sounds like you would like to restore some texts that were deleted. If you back up to iTunes or to iCloud, you can restore from a backup that has the texts you wish to restore. Keep in mind that this will restore the entire device to the way it was when you made the backup.
This article will help you do that:

  • How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced

    How do I recover a deleted text message if the phone has never been backed up/synced.  Yes, I know, I know I should be backing up/syncing my phone . . . but that hasn't been yet.  So, can I still find the deleted text message?  If I sync for the first time will it also sync deleted messages?

    Asking exactly the same question a second time will NOT get you a different answer.
    You can not recover that which has been deleted and was never backed up.

  • How can I recover accidentally deleted text messages?

    I accidentally deleted text message from a specific person in my phone.  Not sure how to recover from an earlier version of a back up?  Or if that's possible.  HELP!  I need these messages!

    Restore from a backup that was done before you deleted them.
    Otherwise they are gone.

  • HT3529 How to recover deleted text messages from iphone using iPhone

    I'm trying to recover text messages I deleted on my iPhone4s. Is it possible?
    Is it possible to do with out using a computer. If possible I'd like to recover the messages using my iPhone.

    If the backup is made after the messages were deleted, then you won't be able to get them back via an iTunes restore. However, you may be able to use a third-party program to look at the backup made after the messages were deleted and see what information about those messages is recoverable.
    One program, the one I work on, is called Decipher TextMessage. Our software will scan the text-message database and show you what information (whole and incomplete) was found that has been previously deleted. We've had a lot of success helping folks recover their deleted text messages -- it doesn't always work 100% since we're at the mercy of how the database works but it's worth a shot to see what you can find!
    The website for Decipher TextMessage is http://deciphertools.com
    You're also welcome to visit our website, try the software free, and send us any questions that you have.
    Disclaimer: Since I work on Decipher TextMessage, I stand to benefit from the links to our website that I've made above.

    how do I recover a deleted photo from my iphone?

    The iPhone Photo Recovery allows you to recover data by two ways: Recover from iOS devices and recover from iTunes backup. No matter which way you choose, the first step is to download and install the software on your computer. Then follow the way below to get back your data.
    Part 1: Directly recover photo from iPhone 5/4S, iPad mini, iPad with Retina display, The New iPad, iPad 2 & iPod touch 5
    article: How to recover deleted photos from iPhone.
    Part 2: Recover Data Directly from iPhone 4/3GS, iPad 1 & iPod touch 4

    This data recovery mode lets you recover not only existing data in the backup, but also those data deleted from your device before you made the backup, as long as they were not overwritten.
    Note: Don't sync your device with iTunes when you realize that you've lost data, or the iTunes backup file will be updated after the sync, if you want to recover them through this recovery mode.
