Why Should I Retrieve Deleted Text from my Teen's Cell Phone?
Many parents feel that it is an invasion of their teen's privacy to retrieve deleted text from their cell phone. Unfortunately, there are a variety of reasons why this process may become necessary. Sometimes this may be the only way to get honest answers about the activities of your teen due to their secretive nature. Some of the most common reasons that recovering deleted text messages may become necessary include suspicion of drug use or simply to find out what kind of people your teen is spending their time with. At any rate, as parents we should never feel that we are invading our teens privacy by wanting to do all we can to protect them from others as well as from themselves.
Regardless of what information your teens may delete from their phones there are ways to retrieve deleted text. Cell phone forensic investigators are highly trained in conducting this type of investigation and can uncover a wide array of different information from a variety of different types of devices. In addition to deleted text some of the other key information which may be recovered during this investigation may include deleted caller ID, address book and contact list entries. Deleted picture and video messages and call lists may also be recovered.
In the past, many parents have attempted to use SIM card readers to retrieve deleted text and other information on their own. Professional investigators highly discourage individuals against this practice because it rarely returns useful results. Not only are these SIM card readers largely ineffective on many devices but they also are very well known for damaging or completely destroying the very information that they are supposed to be recovering. After this information has been destroyed there is no getting it back which means that as a parent you still do not have the information about your teen's activities which you were trying to obtain in the first place.
By turning to a professional cell phone forensic investigator to conduct this type of investigation you will be much more likely to get the information you are after both safely and effectively. This investigation can often be conducted within a time period of seven days and will not damage the phone itself or the data that has been retrieved. Turning to a professional is the best way to retrieve deleted text and still keep the information intact and usable. This type of investigation also includes a detailed report regarding the information that is found.
