Cell phone forensics
A phone holds a detailed record of a life. When you have the right to examine one, we recover what is there, including deleted data where it can be recovered, and explain what it means.
UpdatedWhat can be recovered
- Text messages and chats, including some deleted conversations.
- Photos and videos, with the dates and locations stored in them.
- Call logs and contacts.
- Location history and app data.
- Signs of spyware or tracking software installed on your own phone.
What comes back depends on the phone, its settings and how long ago something was deleted. We will tell you what is realistic before you commit.
Whose phone it has to be
We examine phones that you own or are legally authorized to examine, such as your own device, a company phone you issued, or a device covered by a court order. Going through another adult's phone without permission can be a crime, and it can ruin the value of anything you find. If you are not sure, ask us first.
Worried someone is tracking you?
If you think a partner, ex or anyone else has put tracking software on your phone, we can check it. If you are in danger, call 911 first, and use a phone the other person has never had access to.
Questions people ask
Can deleted text messages be recovered?
Often, but not always. It depends on the phone model, its settings and how much time has passed, so we review the device before promising anything.
Can you check my phone for spyware?
Yes. We can examine your own phone for tracking or monitoring software and tell you what we find.
Can I bring you my spouse's phone?
Only if you have the legal right to examine it. Accessing another adult's phone without permission can be illegal in Arizona and under federal law, even within a marriage. We will talk through your situation before any examination.
