The manager then proceeded to inform me that it was illegal for them to keep copies of text messages, and the closest I could get would be phone records.

Apparently, he didn't know jack...

And as far as "encrypting" texts via a custom key, is there an app for that? (<--- wow that felt very iPhone-ish) Not really sure how big of a market there is for that. more jsut wondering out of curiousity.

I found a App for that pun intended lol

Ya that has to be them writing all the review's. Honestly if you don't want anyone to track what you are doing or don't want them to have access to it DON'T Use anything digital. speaking in person is the safest way to stay confidential. back allies and trench coat's I say lol.

Sprint does keep a log of all the texts but a court order is needed to access them and you can not access them from the sprint account. You have to send a request in writing to Sprint along with the court order and sprint will provide the printed versions of the texts.

We tried this with my step son's texts when we thought he was using text messages to cheat on tests. (we did not go through with getting a court order due to the legal costs) However, sprint disabled the text delete feature on his phone so he couldn't delete the texts, which of course, we checked.

Yeap a court order is needed. But how many dumb reps you get on a phone call who does not know how to do there job right? Plus last number you dail they can that. But a order is needed to tell someone it. Sprint has the dumbest cust. service reps. Listen how they talk, hahaa like cavemen breathing heavy on the mics. Put you on hold eatting a cupcake. But his girl put a quarter in his a%* she played him with that trust it. Question it was you right hahaa the guy who threw up this post right.

No! I don't play that game with women, if they get flaky they need to go, I'm to old for those games.

I found out if a girl is pretty, but not so bright, she's usually insecure, and it leads to a life of you having to reassure her, especially as she ages and her looks go.

If a girl is pretty, and smart as hell, eventually she will question why is she with you, and start treating you like your nothing.

Me, I tried to find an cute girl, thats smart, but had like a small, small flaw, like a sixth finger, or webbed feet, or small tail attached to her rear.

Anyway I believe were all living in the Matrix, some one programed us to think that hooking up with a girl, having kids, buying a house, getting a slick arse ride is what its all about, and when we wake up its too late.

But this is way off topic.

Thanks for all the info guys, I kinda feel sorry for him, but he did make his bed!

Went through that myself! The online account has no record of the text activity like who you texted or who texted you or the logs much less. You would literally have to contact Sprints internal tech support to get that information and yes it would have to be a big legal matter for them to do even go through all the work!

Sad to hear the BS He is going through though! haha

fyi, myphone doesn't back up text messages unless you set it up to with that first login.
