Retrieving Text Messages after deletion?

[funnyfish]

I was going through and deleting messages on my bionic and accidently deleted a new one...i didn't even see who it was from or what it said....is there a way to retrieve that? It's not a big deal it just bothers me because I don't even know who to text to ask to resend it....any ideas?

I don't think you can, but if you go to my verizon you can see a list of text messages sent and received. I don't think they show the message, but they will show the number of who sent it.

I thought when you delete a thread/message, it will be gone even if they text you again.

To the best of my knowledge this is correct. At least in my experience it is.

And sorry to say it but if you did not have the messages backed up/saved in some way then I think they are not recoverable.

Yup. There are ways to delete single messages from the thread. So you'll be able to keep the thread going, but if you delete the thread it starts over.

Correct sir, I was just agreeing with dezy who was responding to Murphy's post. Even if the thread is still there the deleted message in question will not be. Your earlier suggestion would be the way to go as far as finding out who sent it and honestly I doubt I would have thought of it

sorry OP, guess you out of luck

[rayr0d]

Yes. In ur case, once you read then delete its gone for good unless you have an app that backs msgs automatically once recieved..

Hopefully the person resend text. Good luck!
