I have been told by several people that Verizon can read send you past text messages.
Did you read your own article before referencing it? Delete those texts from the phone's memory to have them permanently removed from the phone. If you are really concerned about it, use a different way of sending messages. Epic 4G Touch Themes and Apps. I don't really think there is any reason to worry.
When it comes to Sprint, I only know of the engineering team s to have access to text messages. I know because I been in a situation where they had to. I have only heard of TextSecure sparingly. Threema is the one I would recommend based on what is being done in the field.
You should know that whilst this program will encrypt your text messages, it's usage will also mark you. With TextSecure if data is available it sends messages over data but if data isn't available it encrypts SMS.
It also will send unsecure messages for people that don't have it. The main thing about it that I like is that it's open source.
They also make an app for encrypted phone calls called RedPhone. When you use encryption in something that normally does not use encryption, the NSA places you on a queue. I believe it is on one of the snowden releases. I use encryption on basically everything.
I mean I guess they can put me on a list and collect my data if they want but good luck breaking through bit AES encryption in some cases bit LOL Also in some cases I use Serpent. I use Dropbox and Google drive but all my files are encrypted in those services.
I don't really think there is any reason to worry. Unless you are the type they are looking for. What do you think of TrueCrypt? TrueCrypt is an amazing program! I know version 7. There is also a new team who is trying to continue the development of the project. Here is a nice article on the state of TrueCrypt.
I still use it to encrypt my hard drive. I'd trust true crypt before id trust something like BitLocker. We do not store message details. Even with court order we can only provide metadata, not detailed records. How many thousands of character strings would they have to store? Sprint doesn't care what the message says. Why spend the money on storage when it is useless to their bottom line? Sad fact, but exactly why the content isn't stored. The fact that it can't be retrieved for use in court cases is a side benefit, as that would be a whole department full of people just pulling the requested data for cases nationwide.
As I know it, that statement is not accurate.
Sprint in particular is required to hold to messages for a certain time 3 months, I think. I have personally seen law enforcement, and other reports featuring past text messages that were sent to a device that was destroyed. Even with a subpoena we will only provide the metadata.
Saying you have seen otherwise is anecdotal. Documentation from Sprint says otherwise. Outside verification of my claim: Did you read your own article before referencing it? It produced two preserved text messages, both of which were unrelated to this case, and no voice mail messages. It is not accurate. Here is one from , from Gazelle the phone resellers. Ya, I trust what Gazelle. I am done here.
