    Default Way to corrupt message viewing on ATT bill?

    My mom keeps looking at my texts on the AT&T bill. Is there any way to corrupt or encrypt these messages so that she can no longer view them whenever she pleases? It's been getting me in a lot of trouble, and it's none of her business to begin with because I pay the monthly payments for my iPhone.

    Its the 3G[S]

    ATT doesn't print your messages on the bill.... you can however view something like: "Text Message - sent to 555-555-XXXX - 10/5/09 14:32"

    But that's it.. she is reading the messages another way.

    Yup only time stamps dude. Your mom is joshing you. For legality reasons they can't disclose that information. She can't even call in and ask what the messages say because it's not possible on a consumer level. Possible on a higher level but not a consumer level.

    Lol, she totally just dug the info out of you. Probably looked at the timestamps and thought that is late bet it is a party. Oh now look they are asking to leave to a freind's house. Or like the other said, she is going through your phone in your sleep or have it setting there. Password that thing.

    Either passcode lock your phone or get the Lockdown app from Cydia.

    I think your main question should be why your mom thinks she has the right to unknowingly go through your personal property.
