Mobile Recovery

If you've lost important information on your mobile phone's sim card, we have the solution for you.

We are able to recover all deleted text messages of most commonly used mobile phones and recover deleted information (viz. contact numbers, sms messages etc.), quickly and successfully from the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM card), which is a stamp size card that securely stores subscription information, telephone numbers, text messages and other crucial information.

A report is generated that allows viewing date and sending time of text messages, in case the information is needed for legal purposes.

Data Recovery Services - Why choose the South African Experts?

When the company server (or your business laptop) crashes and burns, and your precious mail, files and other critical information remains inaccessible, you've potentially got a big problem... especially if you absolutely need to perform a data recovery service to retrieve that vital information and data.

What can add insult to injury is if you unsuccessfully attempt to perform this data recovery yourself (as many Do-It-Yourself South Africans will) and end up damaging your data even further or destroying it altogether. Being faced with the consequences of what the potential replacement costs then might be can be the very stuff of regret.
