Cellular Phone Forum / Country Specific / Australian Group / April 2004Update on Logging of SMS content by carriers
http://www.thesundaymail.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5936,9179105%255E2765,0 0.html <snip> Telstra retains customers' SMS messages for up to 28 days, during which time the company can access the full text of messages sent and received by Telstra mobile phones. An Optus spokeswoman said the company kept full text messages for three days, while transactional information was kept for the duration of the billing cycle. Vodafone Australia said it did not retain the content of any phone calls, text or picture messages. It said it kept records only of the time, length and destination of calls and messages, to assist with customer billing. <snip> Article continues.

The fact they were caught only displays to me that the checks and balances are working, and that appropriate logging occurs on any request to access information. Companies and government agencies store information. Anyone with half a brain already knows this. Why does it have to be spelt out to people? SignatureKwyj.
