Title: URGENT-Deleting cell phone texting records
Post by: mistermayi on June 02, 2013, 11:45 am
I need to delete the texting history and records of a phone number from the online bill and account history. Payment is not the issue, I simply need the dates/times/numbers that were texted to be deleted. There does not seem to be a "legitimate" way to do this, so I need an "illegitimate" solution (hacking, etc). I wil pay fair market value for this service. Please let me know if you can help.

Thanks

It should not be saving the actual texts you send.  Usually they need to get a warrant to get them anyway.

As far as billing.  If you have detailed billing then you are fucked, unless you pay extra for it, then maybe you could cancel it.  Call them, tell them the truth as long as it isn't illegal, if so, tell them you have been cheating on your wife, if they say no, ask for the cancellation department.  Ask for a supervisor.  Tell them to do it or you will cancel your service.  Start out nice, then escalate.  If that doesn't work, call back and hope you get someone more helpful.

Last resort.  Make sure you get the bill and get rid of it and close your online account.  Hell hack it yourself and change passwords.

I wouldn't trust someone with that skill, hackers like that hack into govt. agencies, with my personal info.  Hell they could seal your identity.

In Australia the txt message (the actual message.. with the contents) is saved for 3 months on the Telco servers... regardless if you cancel or die or beg etc etc.
I imagine it would be the same in USA and other countries like that... hmm its probably saved indefinitely in USA come to think of it :]

This is true for EU countries as well. If I was in need of such service, I would probably go to the mobile service company headquaters, wait for a lunch break and try to "recruit" an IT worker to do this for me :)

In the UK mobile phone data is retained for a minimum of 12 months with new legislation but it does not require the data to ever be removed and most companies do keep indefinite stores.

Why would you even need this?  Obviously no sane person would ever send sensitive information over a public text network -- that would be like standing in the middle of Times Square shouting your SSN and mother's middle name and credit card numbers and security codes and home address and list of every crime you'd ever committed, over and over and over.

I'm sure you didn't so anything that stupid.  So quite worrying.

yes, the feds do monitor our daily chatter, and yes, they can find the exact location of you by triangulating the signals coming from your tracking dev...smart phone. But they could give a fuck less about one dude unless you have done something off the charts terrible. Federal agencies have strict parameters and restraints that they have to operate within, and they get their budgets cut if congress thinks they are wasting money.

Think about this for example. you have some texts about picking up a bag of substance A at 3:00 in the morning. LE would have to get a warrant to get your phone records from your service provider, then they would have to convince a judge that was enough probable cause for a warrant to search your house. Say they find your 2 gram bag in your house. this is where it would get interesting.

the police chief would have to explain to his commander why he wasted the manpower, monetary resources, and hours of time for the result of a drug bust not even worth mentioning to the news. cops already have tight budgets, and overzealous busts are a fast track to getting them further reduced. they don't want us little guys, they just want the sharks
