If you are looking for the contents of the messages, you will need a court order. Unfortunately that information is only stored in their servers for about 10 days.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

If I can get a court order, is it possible to get them from 8 months ago?

Thank you, I was just hoping so because when I brought the messages up back in March,  before I changed numbers, it showed me several months of text back then.

What do you mean by "when I brought the messages up back in March"?

Were the messages on your phone? Simply because messages are on your phone does not mean they are still on Verizon's servers. You use internal phone memory to store messages on your phone. The messages do not stay on Verizon's servers until you delete them from your phone.

On the other hand, if you still have your phone and have not reset it since you stopped using it, the texts may still be on your phone. Good luck.
