I have Alltel and they called and they were told if they wanted to read my text messages they needed a court order and yeah. They can always go through your phone and read them. Alltel bill doesn't tell you what the messages say but they do tell you the time and date they were sent. Hope this helps.

Answer 5

So lets say your provider is Verizon Wireless. This is what they do:

Go to any Verizon Wireless store

Tell the Verizon people thier personal info, ssn, ect.

The Verizon people say "What can I help you with today?"

Your parents say "I want a complete list of *your number here*'s text messages.

The Verizon people say "Ok, from when?"

And your parents answer.

So, yes, they can read your texts.  

Answer 6

Yes they can til you are 18 yrs old!

Answer 7

all parents can see is the time the txt was made, when it was sent, the number it was from, and if it was incoming or outcoming. They can't read any of the txt. Trust me I've accessed my bill b4 to check!Good luck and hopefully I helped!
