    Is it possible to download and print SMS's from an iphone 4?
    I need it for a legal case so it would need to have the details of the number that sent it.

    You can forward them as an email to yourself, then print that.

    How? Would doing so not remove the original sender of the texts?

    I could have sworn i heard before a text message cannot be used as legal evidence in court. Thats why guards dont just take phones off drug dealers and arrest everyone in their inbox. Its actually very easy to fake a text message.

    It would. I regret, I didn't read the OPs question fully.

    There's an app, that sends a message to yourself but you can fake who its from.and what it says, so I guess it makes the message untrustworthy.

    I have seen text messages used in evidence in Court. AGS have very good software that can download a phones information and print off all communication information it's called EnCase if I remember correctly

    Any ideas what context it was used?

    Id say if the guards checked with phone company and there was a text at time of car crash it would stand but if someone was accused of buying drugs just by proof of a text message it wouldnt stand.

    I have seen SMS messages used in harassment case. Also seen phone info including SMS and location as part of a robbery investigation. The recent tiger kidnapping used evidence gathered from phones. I remember a big drugs find where if I remember correctly either calls or texts showed a connection between the big guy and the find.

    I agree if the only evidence was a single text and no other evidence it would not be enough. But as part of overall evidence say a guy arrested with drugs but says it was personal use but a tick sheet and phone texts show he may have been dealing then that evidence may be allowed.
