Is it possible for a Sprint account user to read text messages in 2020?
1. Is it possible to see deleted texts on your phone bill?
Again, because Sprint does not keep a record of such information, such text cannot be viewed. They don’t keep deleted messages because of privacy concerns and the risk of maintaining such material on their servers.
2. Can Sprint provide me with copies of my text messages?
The answer is yes, but only in extraordinary situations. If text messages are needed as evidence in a criminal or civil case, for example, an attorney can issue a subpoena to Sprint to collect the information. However, only certain text messages related to the case can be obtained, not all message in the system.
3. Can the owner of a Sprint account examine his or her Internet history?
No. Sprint account holders can only see the data they’ve used, texts they’ve sent, and phone numbers they’ve called/inbound calls; they can’t access their Internet history.
4. Is it possible to obtain text message records?
Yes. All of someone’s text messages can be simply checked with a third-party text tracker. To see someone’s Sprint call or text logs, follow the steps in the next section.

You don’t have to wait until your next payment statement to see your messages, which is great news. You can view billed text details for the previous 90 days by logging into your account. This will only include transactions that occurred while you were connected to the Sprint network; data collected while roaming will not be included.
Is Sprint storing SMS messages?
Have you ever wondered how long your cellular carrier saves your text messages, call logs, and Web browsing history on your phone? From a Justice Department paper produced for law enforcement with those details, there are some answers.
“The paper, titled ‘Retention Periods of Major Cellular Providers,’ was written in 2010… to instruct law enforcement agents requesting cell phone records and was unearthed by the ACLU’s coordinated documents request on police cell phone location monitoring,” the ACLU stated.
Here’s a look at the policies of the four major carriers, which each have different periods of time for keeping data:
- Verizon: Keeps records of calls and cell towers used for a year; text message details are kept for up to a year, with actual text message content kept for 3 to 5 days; Internet session information is kept for up to a year, with Web sites visited for up to 90 days; and Internet session information is kept for up to a year.
- AT&T: Call records are kept for 57 years; cell tower records have been kept since July 2008; text message details are kept for 57 years; text message content is not kept. Information about your Internet session and where you went for up to 72 hours.
- Sprint retains call information and mobile tower records for 18 to 24 months. Internet session and destination information is maintained for up to 60 days; text message details are retained for up to 18 months, depending on the device; text message content is not retained; and Internet session and destination information is retained for up to 60 days.
- T-Mobile: Call record information is maintained for 5 years; cell towers are used for “formally, 4-6 months, but realistically a year or more;” text message information is kept for 5 years; text message content is not kept; Internet session and destination information is not kept.
The chart is part of a larger effort by the ACLU to learn “when, why, and how” local law enforcement agencies are utilizing mobile phone location data to follow Americans, with 35 ACLU affiliates filing more than 381 such requests in 32 states recently.
“Today, most people carry a tracking device in their purses or pockets, such as a cell phone,” according to the ACLU:
Your phone’s location data can make it simple to acquire directions or find the nearest coffee shop. However, it also makes it simple for your cell phone carrier to locate you, whether using the built-in GPS on your phone or noting your vicinity to adjacent cell towers. And where you go, what you do, and who you know are all revealed by your location data. All too often, the government uses antiquated privacy regulations to obtain this vital private information without a warrant. The public has a right to know how and when the government accesses their location information, and that is precisely what we expect our information requests will reveal.
What is the best way to figure out how much I owe on my cell phone?
Your bill balance can be checked by texting or phoning your service provider. Customers can check their bill balance quickly and easily with most cell phone service providers.
