How To Get Deleted Text Messages

If you are trying to catch your cheating spouse or partner, one of the things that you might be secretly looking for are the text messages to and from the third-party.  However, sometimes the cheating spouse can be very crafty and erase these texts before you get the chance to review them.  Luckily, Victory Investigations can retrieve these Deleted Text Messages using the exact same technology law enforcement uses.

Despite what you may read on the internet, there is no way to retrieve deleted data remotely. The actual device must be analyzed using specialized software and hardware.  In some cases, a backup file of the device can be analyzed for deleted data.

NOTE:  There are several different apps and spyware options on the market today that can be installed to retrieve data as it is transmitted, but it is illegal to implement on anyone's device without their consent. Many parents choose to use this type of software to monitor their children, but this may present another legal issue. This due to the fact that the parent will also be intercepting communication from their child's peers in the process.

Things to Consider

The way cell phone data works is that all information is stored in internal memory and memory cards. Some SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) cards may hold useful data as well.  Just because a message is deleted does not necessarily mean that the information is lost completely.  It still may be stored in this memory, but only for a indeterminate period of time.  The more that your potentially cheating spouse uses the phone and sends and receives text messages, the higher your chances of this memory being overwritten with new text messages or other data. 

If you want to retrieve these messages and save them for posterity, perhaps using them in the future as “proof” that you have caught your spouse red-handed, then you need a reliable software for Deleted Text Messages and a professional who will acquire this data so that no information is lost forever.  In addition to preserving the data, the examiner can testify as an expert witness in the event your case goes to trial or if the data obtained is scrutinized for authenticity. That’s where Victory Investigations can help.  We will keep a forensic report of all text messaging for you, keeping copies of all deleted texts and other valuable data before they are overwritten.

Don’t Be Fooled by Cheap Imitations

If you were to go online and search for software that will retrieve Deleted TextMessages, you will find hundreds of different options.  Don’t be fooled by cheap imitations.  There are a lot of online marketers who will be happy to sell you an inferior product for a highly inflated price.  Many of these software programs are simply nothing more than an SIM reader and most of the data you need will not be present on the SIM card.  Don’t pay for something that won’t work.

You’ll need to know the type of phone that your spouse is using.  For example, the top three in popularity are the Apple iPhone, RIM's BlackBerry, and the Google Android.  Again, there will be different types of programs that can be used based on the brand and model of cell phone.  By providing Victory Investigations with the make and model of the cell phone that your cheating spouse uses on a daily basis, we can provide your options and ultimately retrieve those Deleted Text Messages.
