Rep Please Verify Validity of Text Subpoenas

Question

Just checking the validity of the following letter/statement from Verizon I obtained from a source regarding subpoena-ing texts and the days of storage of text messaging:
Message Content or ANY OTHER inquiry is not available to the subscriber under any circumstances except under subpoena.
A subpoena, court order or search warrant is required for inquiries that come from third parties. All third party inquiries regarding customer information or records should be referred to:
Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless
Attn: Custodian of Records
180 Washington Valley Road
Bedminster, New Jersey 07921
It is the policy of Verizon Wireless to retain text message content for five days while the message delivery is attempted. If the message is not delivered within five days, the message content is deleted from our server and cannot be retrieved. If the message is successfully delivered, its content is held in our server for ten days. It is then deleted and cannot be retrieved subpoena, court order or search warrant is required for inquiries that come from third parties. All third party inquiries regarding customer information or records should be referred to:
Cellco Partnership d/b/a Verizon Wireless
Attn: Custodian of Records
180 Washington Valley Road

Answer 1

Nothing is ever really deleted. If you know anything about harddrives you know that when you delete something from a computer or server it doesn't really get deleted. The file space just gets marked that it's okay to write over it. Even after a file has been written over many times it's still possible to retrieve some of that data.
However, the article you posted says:
Verizon complied. It turned over three sets of documents: information about the account holder linked to that phone number, a list of the complete contents of the text messages sent or received by cellular telephone number (301) 325-XXXX between June 6 and October 31, 2007, and a log of whom Jackson sent messages to from her Verizon e-mail address. Note that Verizon did not keep copies of the actual contents of her e-mail messages.
Hey, look at that..... not the actual content of the message.
First you post an article about AT&T...then you post an article that even says VZW doesn't keep the content of the messages. Reading comprehension FTW!!
