Providing of text message details..

[ABOO]

Hi all,

At work all day today so can't contact my provider until tomorrow, so thought I'd ask Cliosport in the meantime!!

I want a print out of times and dates of text messages, between my phone and another mobile number going back around 10/12 months. I appreciate I will probably have to pay for this, and I know there is a lot of message details.

Anybody had anything similar and did you get the details you wanted??

Cheers, Kev.. : )

Screenshot and then print or have you deleted?

It would be pretty easy to go back and find the number through and itemised bill via the provider. I imagine that's child's play for those guys... if you get one that speaks English...

You can probably do it yourself on the site, hopefully you can export the bills/call history in to excel to make things easier. It'll only show messages you have sent though.

Could find a backup app that will put all the messages in a txt file?

As PM'd.

If you cant get the message content from your phone it'll take police intervention for the networks to release them.

Why? Under the data protection act you're entitled to information help by a company about yourself. You can view this information on-line anyway for x amount of months.

That was the was it was when I was working with the DPA section for a network only 2 years ago.

Why, cannot say, just was the way. I did question the logic for pretty much the exact reason you raised, but it's the way.

DPA has exclusions, is all I can recall from a conversation years ago that was a struggle to come to grips with at the time.

OP would do well to ask, and see what happens. Usually asking the service provider is more fruitful than asking a car forum too.

My itemised phone bill with o2 shows that info, surely not that big a deal innit?

 

[Reev]

As above, what network are you on?

On O2 you can just download full, itemised bills from their website.

 

[Goodj]

Your network can give you a list, yes.
But it wing have the content of the messages or information on messages received.

Hope this wasn't iMessage or similar though as that won't show on a bill.
