Can you do this?

Say someone is texting me and they're sending it from private..and I have no clue who it is. I have sprint, so could I take it into the sprint store, and they find out whos texting me. Could they find out the number everything?

I think it's a good idea to take your phone back to the Sprint store and they might be able to pull up whoever is texting you up.
They might just get the person's name and phone number in their records if they're a Sprint customer. I'd say go ahead and ask the Sprint people and maybe they can find that out.

If it's bothering you, you CAN trace the number.
I'm not sure how, but if you go to the store they're bound to tell you who can trace it if they can't.

well I think you can dial '''*69''
then it'll tell you what the phone number is [even if the person txting you made it private...]

how can you made your text private from your cell in the first place...

I thought you can't
