Any possible way to view sent or recieved text messages

Hi all,

Is there any possible way for me to view texts that I have sent or received?

The reason I ask is because, this past Monday (01/05/2015), I received a text with some very important details that I need, and like an idiot, I deleted the conversation by accident from my phone, losing the entire message history in the process.

All help is greatly appreciated.

jamalgt65 we'll make sure everything is clear! Verizon Messages allows you to view texts online, however since the text is deleted then it's unable to be retrieved. You can view the past 90 days of the messaging details (phone number, time, and date) from My Verizon to help put the pieces together.

I see that there are only 90 days of messages for me to view, can I possibly see more than that? I am trying to find a way to view January, February, and March of this year... is there anyway I can do that?

sconley35, you will only be able to retrieve text messages for only up to 90 days. After 90 days you will only be able to view time , date and the mobile number to that message was sent in your billing detail summary. You can also access this on your My Verizon.

MusicGeek, we don't want you to miss any important text messages. I apologize. There's not an alternative option to view your text messages elsewhere. However, do you have an alternate phone that you can activate on your line temporarily?

Do you have insurance on your device?

How do I do this?  I was recently out of the country and my phone was off or I was only using wifi over the past week.  I came back yesterday, turned on my phone and data and no text messages that were sent to me came through.  Relatives and a co-worker both said they sent text messages during that time and a few text messages did come through on my iMessage when I turned on my computer that never went to my phone.  I'm very confused where these messages are and how I can view them...

Text messaging is how I keep connected and I am sure you feel the same kristen26 . Just so that we are on the same page, are all of these missing messages iMessages or regular text messages?

They should be a combination, mostly iMessages though.

Best,
