Call Verizon customer service and provide your account number and billing name and address. The contact information can be found in the References section of this article.
Request a printed or electronic copy of your recent text messages be included with your next bill statement. Provide a time frame such as the past 7 days or past month for the text message history. Proceed to Step 3 if your request is denied.
Contact your local courthouse and inquire about court orders or subpoenas for releasing cell phone records to the cell phone owner. Laws and regulations may vary from town to town. You will need a reasonable reason to have a court order that Verizon release the messaging history such as possible connection to a crime being committed (such as plans through text), identity theft or fraud through text messaging, or evidence of infidelity in the event of an ongoing divorce case.
Contact Verizon when you obtain a court order. If requested make a copy of the order and send the original to Verizon at the address provided by the representative at the time of the phone call.
Do not delete text messages from your phone's memory until you are certain you no longer need them.
It can be against the law to provide false information when filing for a court order or when demanding records be turned over.

Post a CommentMy sister contacted Verizon for this specific purpose (to prove her ex was harassing her) and they told her they had no such records. She had to start deleting them because of her phone's memory. I knew better but she accepted their answer and gave up. Apparently, whoever was working that day was a lazy bum.
I didn't know this..thanks.
Wow, I didnt even know you could do this!
Good to know!
