How can I retrieve deleted text messages on my Sprint Samsung Galaxy S5?

Retrieving deleted texts on Sprint Samsung Galaxy s5

Same old song - I accidently deleted text messages from my Sprint Samsung Galaxy s5. I see a post from 2011 saying this cannot be done with Sprint. Now in 2015 has anything changed? I'm waiting on hold forever with Sprint, got disconnected, now on hold again.

Never had to do this, but here's an article that might help you.

Can I need to root my phone first?

If you read the article, they state

[FONT=&quot]You can use the program without rooting your phone, though Mobikin guarantees you'll be able to retrieve the full extent of your content if you do.[/FONT]

So try it first without rooting.... see what happens.
