deleted sms messages

[ShameInYou]

so today about 1500 sms messages randomly deleted off my phone..i have my setting set to keep the max amount of sms (5000)..it was all from one contact...im using the stock messages app..i was wondering if there is any way to get those messages back..i had sent a message and literally 5 mins later i open the messages app and everything was gone..i tried to restart the phone to see if they would pop back up but they were all gone...i am extremely new to android a little over 2 weeks with the bolt beeing my first android device..any help would be appreciated..i am coming from blackberry where i was able to keep messages from a year ago...now i know to use a sms backup app..i would really like to get those deleted messages back though

I don't think there's a way to get them back once they're gone. If you keep that many messages and they're that important, I definitely recommend using SMS Backup and Restore.
