I received a text messages the other day from a friend who changed their number but of course I forgot to store it before flashing a new ROM, which wiped everything out. Sprint claims the only way to retrieve the text message log is with a subpoena but I remember when I was on Verizon, it was provided through my bill and online account. Does anyone know of a work around to get this info? TIA!
Nope, with Sprint it's subpeona only.
I'd recommend SMS Backup+ for your future protection. Very handy app that keeps all your texts backed up to Gmail.
if all you're looking for is the number that texted you, you can go to your account and look at the text message log and find your friends number, only thing is that you can't view the message within the text if that's what you're planning to do
How about the Nandroid Backup you made before flashing the new ROM

Where on the website do you go to view your texting log? I've never noticed that feature... The bill detail only displays voice numbers?
they will give you an excel format list of texts, just the number time and date, not the content of the text

i own a HTC 8525 and I was wondering if there are any programs out there.. or any settings that allow you to forward you text messages to another number?
In text message menu> reply> forward
In inbox menu> reply> forward or hold on txt and forward.
Not sure about specific programmes though.
but how do i reply with the sms message being copied? u know, just like in emails where they keep previous txts when replying. Is it able to be done instead of copy & paste...

That would probably not be a great idea, since SMSes are charged per block, starting with a block of 160 characters. You would be charged for two SMSes when you exceed 160 characters and are below, if I recall correctly, 306 characters. And so on and so forth.
But in terms of answering your question, I think the best way is just copypasta...
Need same thing - not much help so far - SMS Fwd
I just did a search for the same question. I have a friend that is recieving a text message from a forex trader that he wants to be automatically forwarded to me. Perhaps we can have text message sent to a number that would automatically forward it out to both of us? Surely there is a way or a product that does this? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP
It arrived with "Natwest" as the sender, but who is "Natwest"? Yes, I know it's a bank, but why can't I see the number it was sent from? It's not in my contact list. Unlike my older phones I don't seem to be able to get a `properties` view showing sender, date etc. Is this something I need another app for?
Hold your finger on the text, a box pops up with the option to view the message details.
thanks, but that still just showed 'natwest'. Surely it's come from a number?
I dont think this is a device related ... because there are many companies make deals with Mobile Operators to send ad messages to the masses and only show the senderID, they dont even need a number to do that.
i say this because i have done such solution for my company, the messages go to the masses and only senderID (company's name) appears, ... no number needed to do that (from a mobile operator point of view)

You have an account with them and they are making used of this volcano story for a bit of PR!
A friend who has an account with them got the same message.
I had a txt from 'Natwest' today but when I opened it it says it was from one of my FB contacts!! Had it twice now I just delete them...
You've never had a text from just a name before?!
Nope, all mine have just been a number unless in my address book...
nothing to worry about, that's simply how Natwest send out their balance texts when you;ve signed up to their text alerts service through Monilink.
It will show as Natwest on any phone. as has already been said, lots of companies and premium sms services come from just a name now, rather than a number.
I had a similar problem...
When I want to check balance (free minutes, SMS, etc...), i need to send SMS to number 1260, and after that i receive SMS message with usage details.
Problem is, that I receive 2 messages with same content.
One is from number 1260 which is my operator, and other is from my friend on Facebook (strange, he even didn't enter Mobile number on FB Profile).
Because of receiving same message over and over again, I had to delete my FB friend

I don't use the balance alerts - the txt is a public service announcement which I don't want
I got this message too. I have a Natwest account that is never used and has about a fiver in it, and I didn't even know they had my phone number!
Seems as though loads of Natwest customers got that text yesterday..
I have a mate who works for Monilink and he said that they were hammered with queries regarding it!
So I'm coming from AT&T and ever now and then I like to check out my bill and overview who calling and who is text, however it seems on Sprint that I can not get that information? A simple date, time, sent or received and a number. They just tell me I've sent 50 messages.
I'm I missing something or does Sprint suck like that and I will no longer be able to see my Test Log?

I don't know about using it in a message form, but if you log in to your account online you can view a full call & text log. With date, time, number, and whether it was sent or recieved.
I can view the full call log, but I can NOT view the text log. There is no link.
Please save a poor woman from getting unwanted texts
I run a junior football squad.
One of the 'soccer mums' originally gave me a wrong mobile number starting 07940 ... which resulted in a poor woman getting lots of texts from me.
I corrected the number on the contact to 07540 ...
If I send a text directly the text goes to 07540 ...
If I reply to a text from 07540... the text actually goes to the 07940 number
If I try and dial 07940... then it comes up with no suggested numbers/contacts. When I receive a text from the poor pestered woman it still comes up with the contact name.
So. I tried deleting the contact (John Smith) and recreated it using a different name (John S). I can no longer find a John Smith in my contacts (even when ticking all the sources to look in - GMAIL, FBOOK etc).
However Gesture Search still finds a John Smith somewhere I have refreshed the index and even reinstalled gesture search but it still finds a John Smith.
Also the SMS thread containing a variety of the 07540 and 07940 numbers all now say they are from JOHN S.
Im confused but the woman receiving rogue texts is getting very p****d off.
Anyone ???
Is it possible that the rogue number is synchronised to your Gmail account, so even if you delete it, it will resync to your phone? Check your gmail account for that number.
Also go to the good number and make sure it's not linked to the rogue one.
Tried that. The contact john smith isn't on my gmail at all. The only place I can find it is using gesture search
Worst come to worst, Settings > Privacy >Factory data reset.
have you tried changing the default number in use in the people app?
I have a problem that i have tried to google but haven't came up with any results, maybe i'm asking the wrong way but this is a big issue for me personally.
some contacts i have (eg John) uses to mobile numbers, a personal and business.
i send text messages to both of his numbers depending the time of day and what the messages are concerned.
htc stock text message app compiles both these numbers under the same thread under the same contact name.
so basically when i go into the message thread, i'm seeing messages that i send to his personal and business number.
i can select to view which number for John the messages sent and received but sometimes it gets confusing, not used to
is there a way where i can have 2 John message threads when i get into the stock text message app? as this way will help me determine on what number am i sending to and keep the business to business and personal to personal.
i can't find any setting for that within the app and still have not come across this topic when tried to google
**besides using another 3rd party app like 'GO SMS' is there a way to solve this?
