Is there anyway of retrieving deleted text messages including numbers times and message content?

Only dates, times and numbers though.... not message content.

Hi,

Unless you've made a back up then not via the network I'm afraid. They are only kept for so long on their servers.

Perhaps the receiver could forward them back to you ?

To add if your pay monthly then your bills will be itemised and can be found in your myo2. They will show some info but obviously not text content.

Edit to add link http://service.o2.co.uk/IQ/SRVS/CGI-BIN/WEBCGI.EXE?New,Kb=Companion,question=ref(User):str(Mobile),C... for itemised bills.

It at least ticks two of the boxes the op is after being "numbers" and "times" of text messages.

Perhaps so, but what I suggest may help. slight_smile

The link I added fully explains what can and can't be achieved by following that process.
