Can I somehow retrieve a saved voice mail message that my straighttalk carrier deleted after 21 days? It's a very important message that i was unaware would be automatically deleted...Please help!

Hi Viola

What Phone?
What Country?

Not enough info

Verizon's voice mail service accepts messages for you when you are busy, or just don't want to answer the phone. The basic service will record up to 20 messages, with a three-minute maximum per message. The messages are held for 21 days, after which they are deleted automatically. Voice mail is usually included when you first activate your service, and you can check to see that you have voice mail from the "My Verizon" account area on the Verizon website. Once you have established you have voice mail on your account, you can set it up by programming it.

Step 1Press "*86" and then "Send" from your phone on Verizon's network. "86" are the characters "VM" using the alpha-keys. Then enter your wireless phone number. Press "#" when you hear the greeting. Follow the prompts to set up your password, greeting and mailbox options and then end the call when you're done.
Step 2Press "*86" and then "Send" from your phone. If you're not on the Verizon network, enter your wireless phone number. Press "#" when you hear the greeting. Then enter the password, followed by "#." Listen to the messages and then press "7" to delete and "9" to save.
Step 3Rerecord your greeting by choosing "Personal Options," which is the number "4" key. Options include notification options and other greetings like "Extended Absence." Follow the voice prompts to navigate through the tiered system.
Step 4Verify your voice-mail indicator is working by accessing your voice mail and pressing the number "4" key. Press "1" to toggle the message-waiting indicator on or off. Listen to the announcement that tells you how it's set.

Unfortunately not without some difficulty. As the voicemails are stored with the service provider, some have been known to maintain archived copies on their servers. Again, they are notoriously difficult to get and will require a ton of letters and possibly even one from your attorney. Unless it is extremely important it will not be worth the effort.

Sorry for you loss Kelly...Have you tried to contact your network carrier? They tend to delete messages in your voicemail after so many days if you havent saved them, Hope this helps.

Sorry again for your loss and your son is one of the many unknown heroes. My heart goes out to you all x

There's no way that you can retrieve the deleted messages from the Trash because Yahoo is a free e-mail service. Message retrieval is an additional feature that you may only find in a paid e-mail service.

However, I would suggest you to check the Yahoo Support and see if they could provide help. Please check the link below:

Though iPhone uses quite a different storage mechanism, still you can recover deleted or lost data (such as text messages, voice mail, contacts, photos etc) with a third party specific iPhone data recovery software called Tenorshare iPhone Data Recovery. I used it to recover deleted voice mails from iPhone 4s and it worked.

Good luck!

When users lose their voice memos in their iPhone 6, they can have a look at their iTunes first, maybe they have synced the voice memos to iTunes, and the voice memos can be found in iTunes folder. If not, you may need to restore your iPhone with iTunes to recover deleted voice memos from iPhone 6. If you have updated your iPhone backup in iTunes, you will save the voice memos in iTunes backup as well, so you are able to get the lost voice memos back with iTunes.

When the restoring process is done, you will get the backup contents in your iPhone 6. The voice memos should have been restored to your iPhone 6 as well. However, as is known, there is chance that the iPhone 6 users will lose the newly added data in their device if they haven't updated their backup. At this moment, people will need a piece of iPhone data recovery software to recover deleted voice memos from iPhone 6 backup.

unfortunaltly no SORRY

Are you not able to retrieve new voicemails or only saved voicemails? Occasionally your carrier may delete old saved voicemails to make room for new ones.

If you want to save all old voicemails on your computer forever, you can sign up for a service like youmail.com

No. It is tagged as listened to.
