Use a SIM card reading tool to recover deleted text messages from your Nextel phone.
If you have a Nextel phone and you accidentally deleted a text message from it, you can retrieve it with the right tools. All you need is a SIM card reading device to connect your phone's memory card to your computer, and a piece of software to retrieve and read your messages. It's a simple process that only takes a few minutes to set up.
Instructions
1. Buy a SIM card reader from a spy and gadget store (see Resource). As of December 2010, these cost $50 to $75.
2. Insert the software that came with the device into the CD-rom drive of your computer. Click "Next" and wait for the program to install.
3. Remove the SIM card from your Nextel phone. It is located beneath the battery. Insert it into the device reader.
4. Plug the SIM card reader into the USB port of the computer and wait for it to be recognized.
5. Launch the application that you just installed on the computer by clicking on the icon of the program that you just installed.
6. Download the list of text messages from your SIM card by clicking on "File" from the tool bar menu and selecting "Download Text Files." The texts will fill the application window and the deleted messages will be marked in red.
7. Choose the message that you want to retrieve by highlighting it, or ticking a check box beside the message. Hit the "Undelete" button to restore the message.
