Hi. If you have a smartphone, then you will need a special computer program and a compatible USB cable for your phone model - do let us know the brand name and model and we will further advise in a more narrowed manner. This will be essentially impossible for a feature phone (non-smart).

Android:

1. Enable Developer options on your Android phone. To do this, go to Settings > About phone and tap Build number until you see the notification that Developer options has been enabled.

2. Go to Developer options > USB debugging and check the box (or flip the switch, depending on your version of Android).

3. Download and install the free Wondershare trial (or another recovery tool of your choice) and connect your Android phone to your computer.

4. Follow the prompts in the recovery program to identify your device and scan or analyze your Android's memory.

5. Once the process is complete you can browse and preview both the deleted and undeleted data on your Android device. As long as the particular part of memory on which your data was originally stored has not been saved over, you can still retrieve it. This is why it's important to act quickly if you've accidentally deleted an SMS.

6. Next, open the Messages folder in the left-hand pane, select the messages you wish to recover and click Recover at the bottom right to put them back on your device or save them to your computer.

Apple: (iCloud)

1. Login to https://icloud.com with your Apple ID and password
2. Click on Text Messages (if it isn't there your messages haven't been backed up).
3. If it is there searched the messages to find the ones you need.
4. Now go to your iPhone and choose Settings, iCloud on your iPhone.
5. Turn off Text Messages (or ensure it is turned off). I know this sounds counter intuitive but stay with it.
6. You'll see a pop-up. Select: 'Keep on My iPhone'.
7. Now turn back on text messages.
8. Tap 'Merge', and wait. After a few minutes the deleted text messages should appear back on your iPhone.
