Is it possible to see/read what the texts messages that you've sent/received online? Someone said it is possibly but only on the newer phones with special software but I'm wondering without going through that process is there another way? What I'm trying to do is see/read the text messages before someone else decides to delete before they have had a chance to be read. Also how do you lockout someone from deleting text messages or is that feature available on the newer phones? ie: if I want to delete a text message I must type in a passcode in order to see the delete option, etc.

I would think this would be a feature provided by your cel provider on their website, some offer reading and sending online, some don't. As for preventing someone from deleting their own messages I doubt it.

Agreed it SHOULD be a feature, but none of the major carriers offer it.

I am sure it would be possible for the major carrriers to provide this kind of service, and I have always wondered why they have not done so. There might be some privacy issues involved. It would be far easier for an unauthorized person to view my txt messages if they were stored online, as opposed to a single device that never leaves my side.
