Most of the ADSL internet equipment is now sitting in rooms in phone exchanges that were allocated for recording gear in the middle of the cold war.

Do people still send texts?

It's better than trying to communicate via photos of yourself in various poses of nude interpretive dance. Trust me.

I see my services are not required here.

That only applies to the servers. It doesn't speak to record retention in general.

I simply want the ability as the account holder to SEE every farking text sent on the website on a per-phone basis.

I have no idea why I can not.

Yay T-mobile - also uses the GSM standard so I can swap out my SIM cards when going to Europe ....

I ♥ T-Mobile.

If you can save every bit o porn on a hard drive(many, many, prolly) you can certainly preserve a few phone calls.

Tell us more, Professor!

Why are we still using SMS anyway? Why haven't US carriers switched to email like in Japan yet?

Oh right, money.

that's a lot of pictures of my peener.

The NSA now knows I asked my friend if he "Has a quarter". Stupid police state world. Right after I lose 5 pounds from my butt. I'm going to eat more cheetohs.

One of the basic tennants of spookdom is never let the suckers know how much you know.
If you knew how detailed the report was, you would feel targeted.

HEY CONGRESS:

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."

Feel free to ignore that, just like you have the rest of the Constitution.

HAHA The jokes on them! Most of the people I send them to dont want them!!

You know, it's just like the '70s and '80s when the US Postal Service would keep copies of all letters and stored them so that law enforcement could use them later. Same thing, no big deal.

In other news, people should use encrypted SMS clients (TextSecure). Would I rather trust every cop and every carrier, or trust Moxie? I've made my choice.

that has nothing to do with anything. all i want is to be able to log into verizon's site and pull the txt logs on a per-phone basis. I pay the bill, I want to see what the hell is going on.

Pista: Do people still send texts?

You must not know any teenagers.

Awesome! So I can go to Verizon and dig up all my sexts?

(boom goes the profile)

My question is, how do they handle disposable cell phones that have either no name attached to it or a fake one attached to it?

dj_spanmaster: Awesome! So I can go to Verizon and dig up all my sexts?


No, YOU can't, but THEY can.

Pista: Do people still send texts?

I am reliably informed that that is the only way people communicate with one another nowadays.

Does it count when I use generic terms like "herb salad" when texting certain vendors?

Pista: Do people still send texts?

Let me guess. There's some new hip thing that I've probably never heard of? I guess me and every single person I know will just have to wait until that new hip thing goes mainstream. By then, you'll be on to something else. Must be awesome being so advanced.

Amos Quito: dj_spanmaster: Awesome! So I can go to Verizon and dig up all my sexts?


No, YOU can't, but THEY can.

it'a almost ironic. This would actually be useful for people, but no - instead it's for gov't.
/facepalm

Pants full of macaroni!!: Pista: Do people still send texts?

I am reliably informed that that is the only way people communicate with one another nowadays.

that is pretty accurate. my first cell that featured texting, i never used the feature. seemed so stupid, why not just call? but then over time and phone upgrades it happened - i realized i was texting FAR more than actual calls were made. Now, I rarely call anyone. i just text.

The joke is on the CIA/ FBI/ police; I communicate exclusively with captioned pictures of owls with funny looks on their faces.

Until they add a voice feature to my cell, it's pretty much texts

One of the phone companies I was with in the past (dont recall which) kinda did that...you could see if the text was incoming or outgoing, and who it came from/went to. The one im with now (Sprint) simply tells you how many you have used so far this billing period.

The Southern Logic Company: Why are we still using SMS anyway? Why haven't US carriers switched to email fax machines like in Japan yet?

Well duh, you must not drive or have a commute.

Time to send the g/f a texty photo care package of my junk. Retain this on your servers!

Good thing Barry repealed the Patriot Act...oh wait

And that's why I like T-Mobile.

It's funny how, the creep, just keeps happening. Never farking stops.

Some days I can't wait for CASE NIGHTMARE GREEN.

Is it illegal to be anonymous yet?

Since when does paying the bill entitle you to squat?
Sweet concept though.

A politician is a fellow that will lay down your money/life for his country.

Is this part of the SOPA thing which was voted down but they are still trying to shove down our throats?

Becoming a police state due to technology.

/really no clue.
