Okay, so here's another thing and I looked this up real quick to make sure I'm telling you the truth, right? It says, I asked the question, do phone companies keep records of your texting even after you've deleted them off your phone? And the answer is yes. And there's a, let me see here, deleted text from your phone does not erase it from existence. When you delete a text, your phone just removes your local copy. It's likely throwing away your personal receipt, not deleting the transaction from the system unless the data is overwritten. Forensic tools can often still recover it. What your carrier keeps, most cell phone carriers keep metadata, meaning who texts whom, when and how long, for months or years. When actual message content, what was said is usually not stored for long, if at all, unless you're using SMS based system, not iMessage or WhatsApp, et cetera. You see AT, well, these don't matter to you because you don't have any. ATD, Verizon, and Sprint. But law enforcement can request this information with the court order even if texts are going on the record of communication remains. So there you go. Now you know. Okay, Rogers, which is Canada, is AT&T. They use AT&T software and AT&T things. So just so you know. And I just never thought, I mean, I know things. I know things are kind of around forever on the computer and internet anyways, right? Because there's data recovery services. You know, where that pisses me off a lot of times is they can only recover so much or sometimes they can't. And then it's like you die and they recover things you don't want them to recover. So you know, that's where, that's a crazy one for me. But otherwise, I guess I kind of know that, right? Like how hell, even radio transmissions can be retrieved, especially somebody's paper. But even radio transmissions don't disappear forever. Right? You never know. Someone might be hearing this very thing right now in a serious time delay, like years from now. And they don't know why they're hearing this. So you never know, right? It's just your voice, it's not a paper trail, but a voice trail. But yeah, I know about paper trails because it's used all the time for bringing someone to the forefront for one reason or another. Usually doctors are dead, right? Because you would usually feel like, well, I'm not letting anyone search my phone or any of my stuff. But then where that would happen is if it's kind of done against your will. But yeah, I kind of knew things are never lost. Just like things you say to your Alexa or whatever, there's a log somewhere. I just never thought of it afterwards. I have a certain conversation and it's usually, in text it's usually just a glimmer, a glance, you know, just really quickie. I never thought of really revisiting it again. Usually if I need to revisit it again, I phone the person. Wow, that's all crazy stuff.
