I have a mac computer where my itunes account is set up. Will that not help?

CompExpert :

did the deletion happen before or after you sync with itunes?

Customer :

I haven't sync my iphone to itunes in days and the deletion happened last night.

CompExpert :

i mean the text messages you want to recovery. was it still there when the last time you sync.

CompExpert :

if the message you want to recovery still on your iphone when last time you sync

CompExpert :

then you can restore it from itunes backup

Customer :

The message was received and deleted last night. Therefore I can retrieve it since I haven't synced my phone since last week. So I do I recover it from itunes?

CompExpert :
