The length of time a cell system retains a text message varies by carrier and can include the details of the message or just the message content:
Verizon: Retains text message details for up to one year, but only keeps the actual content for 3–5 days. Verizon Messages stores the last 90 days of messages.
AT&T: Retains text message details for 5–7 years, but does not keep the content.
Sprint: Retains text message details for up to 18 months, but does not keep the content.
T-Mobile: Retains text message details for 5 years, but does not keep the content.
