2. Using a SIM Card Reader to Recover Text Messages

If you can’t really afford a spying app, you can buy a cheap SIM card reader from the market and use the target person’s SIM to recover text messages, phone contacts and email addresses stored on it. This can be done using the following steps:

1. Switch Off the target phone and remove the SIM card from it.
2. Insert the SIM card into the SIM card reader and plug-in the SIM card reader to the USB port on your personal computer.
3. If your SIM card comes with a software CD/DVD, install it on your computer. This will help you recover any of the stored text messages from the SIM and store it on your PC for later review.

It is needless to mention that this method has clear drawbacks as there are chances of text messages from being deleted from the SIM before you get access to it. Also this method can only recover SMS (stored on SIM) and not other text messages from messaging apps like as WhatsApp, Viber, Snapchat etc.

Therefore to overcome this drawback I still recommend the usage of spying app like mSpy to spy on text messages.
