I have a hard time imagining a situation where you would need to recover your deleted text messages so badly that you would be willing to spend $149 to do it.

It seems much more likely that this would be used by either a jealous lover or a worried parent to spy on someone else.

Regardless of use, this is really a cool little device. Just put the cellphone’s SIM card into it and plug into your computer’s USB drive. You’ll instantly be able to read AND modify all information, including previously deleted messages.
