Re: Text messaging data rights
The answer is determined by the terms of service provided by your carrier. You need to check this to answer your question.
Who is your carrier? When did you sign up? What are the dates of the SMS threads you want to retrieve? All of these will be helpful.
The question itself is of some interest given privacy issues.
