Restore a deleted text message

[Anonymous]

How do I restore a deleted text message, once upon a time, you used to be able to log on and read through your old texts through o2, now you can't, or can you?

Unless you have it backed up somewhere, you can't.

I think you're remembering Bluebook, that facility stopped a good while back and it is closed now for contacts storage too:

Hi Mrshorthair

We need to know what phone your using and any associated software you connect up to.

ie : If you use an iPhone do you connect up to iTunes or have you activated iCloud.

A quick google search found this article from the Macworld forum. It tells you all you need to know

I'm not certain if apps are available for the iPhone, but on Android I use an app to backup my messages to gmail automatically.
This saves me from accidentally losing anything important.

Due to the limitations Apple impose I don't think there is an app that will do the same on iOS.  Everything is supposed to be backed up in iTunes or icloud.
