One of the most frequently asked questions as a forensic investigator in the mobile phones is the possibility of recovering old text messages (SMS messages) which often can be a crucial element to solve the case. The actual rate of successful recovery of SMS messages (saved or deleted) depends on the volume of memory and the file system manipulation at the Operating Systems level but no study has been done to conduct an actual experiment to confirm and refute any given theory. In this paper, we systematically conduct an experiment on three most commonly found mobile phones during real investigations in the fields to find any temporal or spatial relationships between deleted SMS messages and newly arriving ones. The result showed the significance of proper handling of evidentiary phones found in the crime scene to avoid any accidental or nefarious permanent deletion of SMS messages which would otherwise be a clinching component to the case.
