desperate to recover old text messages

[boston2514]

Hey,

I am trying to locate some old text messages (from a few months back). I never deleted them but apparently they just disappeared over time. I regularly back up my phone but I am not sure if I can view them from the blackberry back-up assistant on my laptop. 

does anyone know what I can do to retrieve these old messages?

Thanks so much!

You could try to restore the messages back onto your Blackberry from your laptop using the Blackberry Desktop Software.

If that doesn't work for you, I recommend that you Google for a program called ABC Amber BlackBerry Converter. It will allow you to read those backup files you have on your laptop and hopefully access those text messages.  I believe there is a 30 day free trial before purchase.
