Ok, I have been having trouble with my phone not receiving all of my text messages. This has been going on for a few months, but I don't know how often it is doing it since I don't know that I was supposed to get a text. It isn't from any certain carrier or user, because I've noticed it happening from both Verizon and AT&T users, and I still get most of the messages from those people.There doesn't seem to be any kind of pattern at all. It is very frustrating, because I only find out about it when people happen to bring up that they texted me about something when we are talking, so I don't even know how many texts I am not getting. Now people think I am just being rude by ignoring them and I don't even know that they are upset with me!
I thought that they were just not coming through at all. However, today I noticed something that makes me think the phone is just deleting the messages as soon as it gets them. This morning my phone beeped like I had a message. I looked at it right away and I saw both the notification puzzle piece on the lock screen and the message content flash on the notification bar at the top like normal...but when I unlocked the screen, nothing was there! It was like it never happened at all. I don't even know who it was from to find out what it was about. Thinking back though I realize that there have been lots of times recently that my phone has vibrated but didn't show any notification of anything happening.
I called Verizon and they said they weren't aware of it being a common problem and reset something on their end. They said to call back in a few days if it doesn't solve the problem, but there is no way for me to know that I am not getting a message unless I happen to catch it as it happens like I did today.
I saw some similar threads that make me think I am not alone. Is else is having this problem and has figured out a solution? I am thinking that probably more people are affected than know they are because how would they know?
Anyway, my biggest problem right now is that I want to know, if I am right and the phone is receiving the messages and then just deleting them, if there is a way to retrieve the deleted texts (or at least find out who they were from). I really want to know who texted me earlier, and I was thinking that since it was just today that it might still be recoverable.
Does anyone know how to retrieve recently deleted texts?
