Hi ... I have a teenage daughter who is a fairly heavy texting user ... and there is an issue with one of her friends that I am looking to technology to help me solve... I want to scan her texting for the past 1-2 months in and out and search for one specific telephone number....Other than scrolling through screens and screens and screens etc , is there a way I can just zoom in on a specific telephone number and list all in and out messages to/from that number with the dates and times..again for a limited timeframe ???  Please help. Thx.

The easiest way I can recommend would be to download the data details to an excel spread sheet. Then you can sort by number or just hit Control + F to locate the number you are looking for.

 

Log in to MyVerizon> Click the MyBill Tab> Click on Bill details in middle of page> Click on Data Details> Select her number from the dropdown list> Click Download to Spreadsheet.

 

Hope this helps!!

You can download it into Excel and sort the stuff based on columns.

Following the previous steps, you will see billing statement in the middle of the page with another drop down for dates of your billing cycle. Just select the ones you would like.
