Unfortunately, there is no way to view contents of any messages, AT&T doesn't store them to protect its customers' privacy. I apologize for the inconvenience. There are records of phone numbers, dates and times, but not the messages themselves.

Hello @edward1957 

 

You can get logs of dates, times and phone numbers, but not contents of text messages. You can get up to 18 months of those records in your myAT&T online account.

 

Thanks,

Dmitriy
