Do you have an Apple store near you? Aemon Send a noteboard - 27/10/2011 06:39:30 PM
If so, just take it to them. Let one of their "geniuses" plug in a cable and see what he can get. They do this kind of thing all the time for transferring data between phones, so it shouldn't be a problem. If the texts are well and truly deleted, well, you probably won't get them back. If it's just some weird software glitch, though (and it sounds like it might be, since you said you can still find them by searching) then the Apple guys might be able to get them back for ya.

In the future, keep in mind that phones aren't phones anymore, they're computers. They contain important data and should be secured and backed up every bit as carefully as work computers. More carefully in some cases, as they tend to contain highly personal stuff. I know this advice doesn't do you any good at the moment, but consider it your friendly tech admonishment for the day. Good luck getting your texts back!

Agreed. - 27/10/2011 06:43:44 PM 670 Views
not to mention it's how these words become so offensive in the first place. - 27/10/2011 06:59:21 PM 665 Views
This isn't actually true. - 27/10/2011 07:29:02 PM 722 Views
I was speaking in general, not just for "retard" - 27/10/2011 07:50:17 PM 669 Views
They probably shouldn't be using 'dumb' in their definition if they're making an argument against - 28/10/2011 01:24:50 AM 683 Views
Why not? *NM* - 28/10/2011 02:06:12 PM 294 Views

Let me guess: straight white male? Mmm... privilege. *NM* - 28/10/2011 04:09:44 AM 293 Views
