Is it possible to see old text messages?

Even after they have been deleted from the phone, can you get them from your service provider or something?

Even after your messages are deleted, they are moe than likely still on file at your providers database. However, it is more than likely that if you contacted them, they would not access that information for you. Trillions of text messages are sent a day, so it is more than likely your messages will be deleted shortly.

The service provider does keep the texts but it is very difficult to get them. Under certain circumstances you need a court order or the permission from the person who uses the phone. They only keep them for a few months.

It is not possible to see deleted text messages. Service providers do not store your text or multimedia messages. They only store the time and type of message, not the content. Once you remove the message from your phone the message is gone for good and it can not be retrieved.
