retrieving deleted text messages?
My husband has been out for hours at a time when I do not know where he is. He joined an online dating site, where the state says you are single and looking. He sent a message to several women to try to meet them. That sounds like cheating to me. But what I wonder is how to retrieve deleted text messages from your cell phone. It is always empty, but nothing more. Our bill says it is sending text messages. "I can get numbers and messages in any way?

What’s bizarre to me is that there is no need for you to be asking this question since you already consider him to be cheating. Therefore, the text messages are moot, irrelevant. He’s cheating. React accordingly.
call your cell phone carrier and ask them for detailed billing. you can look at the text messages he sends through the paper bill or log onto your online cell account and look at the texts over the internet
Most phone companies (like AT&T keep messages on file for 30 days. However if the phone is in his name you aren’t going to be able to get them.
Besides…other than satisfying your curiosity as to what they say, I think its pretty clear what he’s up to. A blind man can see that.
I dont believe you can…
Not without a subpoena for his number, and besides I read where most companies only retain text messages for a few days max.
if you already know about the dating sites, what more do you need, before you decide that he’s a cheating bastard?
and you are still with him, why?
No .you can not. But what you can do is to talk to him ,not argue , ask him what is going on and then think about what you should do about your marriage.
Good luck.
If there isn’t any text messages there, you can’t retrieve them. But more importantly, yes, that’s cheating. He is not being faithful emotionally if he is on an online dating site claiming to be single. That’s a betrayal to your marriage. Hire a PI if you need proof, but my uncle definitely did the same crap to my aunt and it ended up that yes, he was cheating physically on top of emotionally.
Do you really need the texts? You seem to have accumulated enough evidence as it is.
You cannot retrieve deleted messages without a court order, unfortunately. They won’t give you a court order unless they are investigating a crime and need the messages for that purpose.
Even if you’re on a family plan they won’t — hell, they won’t even let you get your OWN deleted messages.
I called my own cell phone company once to find out what number a text was to on MY OWN PHONE one time and they refused to give me the information.
Don’t torture yourself over deleted text messages you’ll never see. Look at it this way — does it really matter what the texts say or who they were to? The man is “single and looking” on an online dating site, and is messaging other women to meet them. Who cares what he’s texting? In my opinion, what you’ve found is enough.
So sorry. Good luck.
if you really want to know there are programs you can put on your computer that will track every thing he does and keep it and he won t see it running but you can go back and view his on line sessions Nanny cam type programs
Why don’t you either accept it or divorce if you already know he’s cheating instead of making a jackASS out of yourself.
If you’re on the account, you can go into your wireless provider and ask them if they can get them for you..you might need to explain your situation to them.
But he already sounds like he’s no good..leave his ass and find someone better!
You don’t really need to by the sounds if he’s already on a dating site as single and looking. It’d only hurt you further to read that I’m sure. Sounds like you need to start asking him some questions.
Good luck
Since he is gone so often and for so long, that is pretty incriminating but so obvious that it might not be true. I would ask him who he is texting and why they are erased. Maybe he is just texting and not actually being physical. I think that is just being hopeful though.
Leave him and go to therapy. When a man leaves a trail he is asking for a divorce in a very passive aggressive way! Move on sweetie, life is making room for the right man that needs to be in your life.
When you look back at this moment you’ll be glad it’s over and that it was the best thing that could have happened to you!
MOVE ON!!
Why bother?? He’s already cheating, you already know that he is. The text messages are a moot point.
i would rather be with someone i trusted and didn’t love then to be with someone i loved and didn’t trust..
reguardless of the cheating you already have it set in your head that he is!
do you trust him? why do you need to find out who he is cheating with is that go9ing to make you trust him again!
what will make you trust him again!
if you can’t answer this then why you with him
love might be blinding but your not stupid!
why play it out that way/
OK- Your husband joined an online dating service and you are still with him??? #1- LEAVE HIM!!!
Depending on your cell phone provider you can usually go online and see all of his calls, texts, etc. I know you can in TMobile as long as you are the primary account holder.
But honestly, don’t waste your time and throw him out!
sounds like cheating?? do you need to be hit over the head w/ a frying pan??? and if you get to the texts…umm is that enough proof?
im sorry, but geeze, how much does it take to prove to you hes a cad?
The only legal way to get his deleted text messages is to get a subpoena on the phone company because technically its their property.
However, there are devices you can check out too. I would google “sim data recovery” and see which works best for you. They are basically thumb drives that you put his sim card in and it tries to recover deleted data.
I don’t think you can get deleted texts, but im not sure.
Anyway, with the evidence you already have it is pretty clear that he is cheating, or looking to cheat. As of now I think you already have enough on him to confront him. Stay calm, he will most likely deny it. Just stay calm, and get an explanation for why he is on a dating site with a profile that says single and looking.
I’m sorry you are going through this. I don’t think there is a way to do that, however, I also don’t think you need any more evidence then you already have. Sounds like he is “Married, but looking” and lying to you and to the women he is communicating with. He is not respecting your marriage or his commitments and that is all you need.
I hope you find the strength and courage to leave him and make room for someone better in your life.
I’m sorry.
