A programme such as Recova may help but if they aren't backed up anywhere I wouldn't hold out much hope.

Not very easily and depends on a number of factors.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

Text messages that have been deleted are kept in a far distant piece of memory on the phone hence why the police are able to review past history.

However I have never been able to find a program that would allow the user of the handset to bring them back.

So I would follow Perksie's guidance. If you want to keep a text you can save a small number to your sim card.

It's easy to back up all text messages, sent and received, with an app if you feel it important enough...

I use SMS Backup +. It backs up your texts in Gmail.
