Is it possible for your parents to read your text messages?

Question

I am under eighteen and under my mom and dad's phone plan. I think that they may be reading my texts, which are very private, and I am nervous. Is it possible that they could be reading them online somehow, or are they just doing this by taking my phone when I am not looking?

Answer 1

Out of all the carriers i have heard none keep text messages. billions are sent all the time. I would think they are sneaking your phone when you are not looking unless there is something new i haven't heard of.  

Answer 2

Yes, it maybe very possible that your parents maybe reading your SMS text messages under the circumstances of yours. That may also depend on the phone plan or the company providing it.

If you are concern that your parents maybe viewing your SMS text messages when you're not noticing, try locking your phone with a PIN code so that they will not be able to even access your phone.

Hope what I've noted would help.

Answer 3

I'm sure there is a way that they can contact the phone company and get the messeges, but I don't know what kind of cruel parent would do that :/ I've only heard about people checking text messeges on like, political scandals and murder mysteries.

My parents can't check mine, though. I've got my phone and text messeges locked with a passcode 8)

Answer 4

i heard you can see the text messages you send on your phone bill but i'm not sure of that........

Answer 5

The only way to do that is if they are taking your phone.

Just delete any messages you don't want them to see.
