As soon as a person realizes they need to recover important information that was deleted from a cell phone the first thing they would naturally do is turn to the Internet. But unfortunately if you search for "recover deleted text messages" you're likely to come up with misleading information. Most of the web sites you'll find will be hawking cheap over the counter SIM card readers as the solution to your data recovery problem. These web sites actually try to give the impression that a do it yourself SIM card reader will recover all the deleted data from your phone.
Unfortunately this is simply not the case. A SIM card reader can only recover the last numbers called and received and the last few text messages. Maybe 10 if you're lucky. Also these readers only work on devices that have SIM cards and that excludes the majority of devices out there. There worst part of this story is that the vast majority of these cheap devices are also SIM card writers and can just as easily delete all the data off the SIM and wipe it clean. That means you will have to contact the telephone carrier and obtain the IMSI(International Mobile Subscriber Identification) and the ICCID(International Circuit Card Identifier in order to clone your SIM and get the phone working again.
If you really need to recover deleted data from a cellular phone what you really want to do is submit the device to a professional forensic data recovery process. If you do, the evidence can be used in court and the phone will be returned to you undamaged and unaltered.
A Cellular phone investigation is the cutting edge in legal high tech intelligence gathering.
A Forensic Examination Can Retrieve:
- Deleted Text Messages
- Deleted SMS Messages
- Detailed Call Records; Dialed/ Received/ Times/ Durations
- Deleted Pics & Graphics
- Deleted Video
- Contact Names & Phone Numbers
- Deleted Address Book
- Email Addresses
- Deleted Caller ID
- Sext Messages
- Other Deleted Data
This is far more information than any do it yourself SIM card reader could copy off your phone. Plus a real forensic data recovery will recover far more text and far older texts than just the last ten if you get lucky.
Remember to read the fine print a SIM card reader will only work on GSM phones where the texts and phone numbers are stored on the SIM card itself. A full forensic data recovery will recover data not only from the SIM but also the internal memory of a cellular phone.
If you are serious about recovering this data and you can't afford to make any mistakes and possibly destroy all your data you must do the smart thing and avoid SIM card readers at all costs. It is simply not worth wasting your time and money while possibly destroying your data.
