I don't see how this is possible, in fact I'm sure it isn't. Good luck with your GF.

It's probably just a threat by her parents. I've never heard of this, becuase the texts are stored in the phone, not online.

I don't believe this is possible either. I work for T-Mobile, and with our website, you can log on to see usage details, and if a text message has been sent or received...the number, date time etc...but it's content is not there. I believe legally this has to do with the privacy act of year???

So, I'd say if you're gettin' a little sms action, then put a pin lock on your phone at night or whenever you aren't around it. That o...

Where on earth did that come from? I didn't say VZW was bad, in fact I've never said VZW was bad, sheesh!

It's not that CDMA is better than GSM or the other way around, they each have their ups and downs. They're just different.

Lighten up a bit, or lay off the caffeine 😛

Yeah...you lose all your information when you get a new phone. That's much better.

Sorry..late response was off work đŸ¤Ŗ

With Verizon we have Data transfer machines that transfers your data from your old phone to your new phone. So NO YOU DON'T LOSE YOUR INFORMATION. Thanks for trying though 🙄

The thread you replied to was in response to someone taking the sim card out of your phone and putting it in another to see the information. If you lock your Verizon phone there isn't a sim card you can take out of it to get the info.
