ZenFone SMS Recovery – Get Deleted Messages Back

"I accidentally deleted whole conversation of text messages instead of two specific messages from ZenFone 5. How do I get deleted messages back from ZenFone? They were not backed up by cloud. Will the SIM card help?"

No! The SIM cannot help because it only stores information to connect to your carrier. If you don't have a backup you're most likely out of luck. But thankfully, Android Data Recovery will help.
