Retrieving deleted text messages

Hi, I would like to retrieve a few deleted text messages from my old Sony Ericsson Vodafone. I found a website that claims to be able to:

"Recover a mobile phones deleted text messages using this PC/SC sim card device & SPECIAL forensic software, which is used for extracting and decoding all the available data stored with in electronic devices such as mobile phones.
This package comes complete with some special 'Forensic' Software that is able to investigate any SIM Card*. A detailed report of it's findings will be generated,
which will display any SMS TEXT Messages on the SIM CARD and more importantly, any DELETED Text Messages!"

Do you think this would really work on my phone?

Thanks

Probably not. All the old SE phones I had only let you save messages to the SIM card on an individual message basis. By default they were saved in the phone's memory where such a service will be unable to recover them from.

Thanks for that Roush.

If I want to start saving texts to the SIM, how do I do it, and also, how can I view what's on the SIM?

It depends on what phone it is. A lot of phones no longer offer the option to save to the SIM card as there is only space for 20 text messages on a SIM card, and no other types of message can be saved there.

It's an old Sony Ericsson Vodafone. I know that my contacts are stored on the sim there (I found that out by accident - I'm not very good with technology as you can guess!).
