Retrieving old text messages

Is there a way to retrieve an old text message that has NOT been deleted?

Is there an answer for this?  I want to get all of my text messages from a specific number.  They have not been deleted but there are more than are stored.  Can I get them from somewhere?

    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.

  • HT201269 can you retrieve old text message ?

    I'm needing to get text messages that i sent from a year ago. Can you retrieve text messages?

    I think you can retrieve old messages.  I have done it to the extent of a couple months on my iPhone looking up some info I needed.  What I did was kept scrolling back to "load earlier messages" and they kept coming till I got to the info I wanted.  They are always telling you this stuff lives forever, at least in court supeonas. 
    I have wondered if I could go back through the iMessages using my lap top.  As a parent of young adults, their messages to me through the last several years are such a travelogue of their lives, I wouldn't mind reading it again.  Probably someone in criminal justice would know how to do it better.

    If they are deleted and not in your backup file, then you cannot recover them.

    I need to retrieve a series of very old (more than 1 year old) text messages from my iPhone 4S. Is this possible?

    If the text is still on the phone and wasn't deleted, I don't see why not. Probably easiest to use an app like TouchCopy (Mac and PC) or PhoneView (Mac), rather than looking through things on the phone itself.

  • I restored my iphone from a backup that is about one month old (because all my contacts had disappeared). Is it possible to retrieve the text messages that occurred after that back up. They disappeared after the restore.

    I don't know if I'm on the same page as you.
    But if you backed up the phone with those contacts pictures notes etc, you should get them back.
    After restoring your phone, use the back up that done when you had those contacts messages etc??

  • What is the best product to retrieve deleted text messages from someones phone that are a month old

    What is the best product to use to retrieve deleted text messages from someones phone a month ago?

    The only way to retrieve a deleted text message would be to restore a backup created after the message was sent but prior to the message being deleted.
    There may be programs that can extract this information directly from the backup files themselves, google for possible solutions.

    is there a way to look at old text messages that were saved during backup to itunes/icloud.  I don't necessarily want them back on my phone and don't want to loose the text messages on my phone now.  Can they be saved to a different file on my computer from itunes so they can be printed out.

  • Desperate to recover old text messages

    Hey,
    I am trying to locate some old text messages (from a few months back). I never deleted them but apparently they just disappeared over time. I regularly back up my phone but I am not sure if I can view them from the blackberry back-up assistant on my laptop. 
    does anyone know what I can do to retrieve these old messages?
    Thanks so much!

    You could try to restore the messages back onto your Blackberry from your laptop using the Blackberry Desktop Software.

    If that doesn't work for you, I recommend that you Google for a program called ABC Amber BlackBerry Converter. It will allow you to read those backup files you have on your laptop and hopefully access those text messages.  I believe there is a 30 day free trial before purchase. 

  • HT5047 I have downloaded Mr. Fone, my question is there anyway I can retrieve deleted text messages from months ago?  I have the phone almost two years.

    I would just like to know if I can retrieve any of my old text messages?  I have downloaded that Mr. Fone, but not really too computer savvy and just looking for direction.

    I have no real faith in these alleged data recovery tools. If the text messages were deleted months ago and you were still using the device, the chances are slim, even if that program works.

  • How can I read my old text messages after transfer...

    OK, I've got a couple of problems. First of all, I've been unable to send text messages from my 6620. As detailed in this older thread, 
    /discussions/board/message?board.id=messaging&thread.id=14597
    ...somebody on Yahoo answers suggested a possible fix, but it requires deleting all the text messages in m "In," "Out," and "Drafts" folders first.
    I've therefore been dragging my heels about implementing this fix, as I have numerous text messages on my phone which I'd really like to be able to keep and refer back to in the future. The problem is, the last time I checked, there was no way to read any old text messages that you'd removed from your Nokia smartphone and stored on your computer.
    Is this still the case? It seems ridiculous to be that there wouldn't be a way to do something as simple as reading an old text file on your computer, but as I said, the last time I checked, nobody could point to any app or utility that would make this possible.
    I do recall being able to open certain "Mail" files on the Mac, using TextEdit, but the Nokia had buried the messages inside an incomprehensible structure of layers upon layers of folders and sub-folders, and when you opened the messages, you'd often have to wade through tons and tons of duplicates, all of which had tons of bizarre, random ascii characters showing up in the bodies of the text messages.
    So using TextEdit's not a great solution.
    Please, can somebody tell me if there's a program that will enable me to easily find and read my backed-up text messages? Ideally this would be something that works under OS X, but I can use VMWare Fusion or Virtual PC if there's only a Windows solution available. Thank you!

    As I said previously, "Of course this will not include any messages you had prior to first using Verizon Messages on your old phone."
    Verizon Messages will only sync messages which have been sent/received SINCE you first enrolled in it. It will NOT do so for messages from BEFORE.
    You could restore older messages to your phone with an app such as SMS Backup & Restore, but they won't be on Verizon's servers to access from other locations such as desktop/laptop/tablet.

  • How can I get my old text messages back?

    Wanted to get old text messages back or at least see them! ... But how?

    The only way to recover deleted SMS/iMessages is to restore the device to a backup created after the message was sent but before it was deleted.

  • 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.
