How to recover deleted SMS (text messages) from Android Smartphone

If you've accidentally deleted some or all of your text messages by mistake, fret not! You can get them back with a 99% chance of success, but there's one ingredient that is most important: time! If you've deleted your SMS inbox you have to act quick, because while the messages are recoverable until the portion of memory on which they are saved is rewritten, the longer you wait the higher the likelihood of getting new text
messages, app updates or who-knows-what saved to the same location, obliterating them forever.
