I have two different phones I am trying to extract text messages off of. an LG touch, and a samsung seek. I dont know if they store the deleted texts or info to the micro card or not, I figured it might be worth a try. Has anyone ever used cell phone spy? It is supposed to be able to recover deleted text messages. I did look at bitpim, however it didn't have the phones I was looking for listed. I will install wxHexEditor tonight and see if I can recover anything. I can assure you I am not wealthy...

If it is in fact on a card, see if it is readable with a hexeditor (wxHexEditor is my favourite Linux gui version)- would be your best bet for deleted messages assuming they aren't compressed or encrypted. Most smart phones use sqlite or similar flat file db's but require jail breaking (not stored on memory cards). Linux tools like wammu and bitpim (also for Windows) are falling behind in development vs. new technology but still work for older phones. Otherwise if you're wealthy, buy a Cellebrite Pro device for physical phone dumping, but even then deleted text messages are near impossible to pull back. Sorry for the dire news, but it is what it is, and I say this from a lot of experience.
