I accidentally deleted whole conversation of text messages instead of 2 specific messages. How do I recover my deleted messages? They were not backed up by cloud. Will the SIM card help?

The SIM card only stores your information to connect to your carrier. If you don't have a backup you're most likely out of luck.

Were they backed up locally? If so then they should be able to be restored

There are apps that do this, either manually or on a schedule. If you didn't set it up then it doesn't backup standard

Your carrier has to keep all text messages by law.

Your ability to access those might not be all that easy.

I would place a call to a support representative.

I am very familiar with the Verizon online app and no where is there a way to recover deleted messages.

that falls under the heading for forensic search and repair. Looks like a nice app, but I don't need anything that important to pay $36.00 bucks for.

If ya gotta do it, then fork over the dough and just be glad a super smart programmer can save your beans.

Okay... my daughters ex has been able to retrieve deleted text threads that were a month gone without her permission. I know Verizon doesn't have them and they are not saved to the cloud. Should I be looking for an app he downloaded or something else?

Same problem here. Have a Galaxy Note 4 and accidently deleted some very important texts. I saw all the programs available online to supposedly recover them, but I'm wary of downloading something like that. Any one have an answer?

I actually had My Backup Pro installed, but when I did a restore, the messages never showed up in my inbox. No error messages or anything. It popped up a status bar that looked like it was restoring them 1/657 and slowly went up to 657/657, then went back to homescreen...but all I had was an empty inbox.

You and me both.

I ditched My Backup Pro a long time ago because it was not reliable.

I now use Super Backup which has never failed me once. I send most of my Contact list backups to my email address .

I put the apps on the local SD card so if the phone breaks, the SD card gets moved to the new phone.

Super Backup can send your backups elsewhere easily, just pick the method you want after each backup.

Hello,
To recover deleted text messages from Android, if you have backup of your old text messages then you can easily rescue the lost messages. There are several ways by which your messages can be saved and whenever required, they can be easily restored. Otherwise I have seen many users use recovery software to retrieve lost data from Android. So it is yet another option.
