Please I need help with my phone. Tracfone actually ..so, got a message that the phone service Ive had since Ive been a phone user. Lotsa years!!!! Anyway, got a message that google message was going to take over our phone service in July, so why not do it now. Ok did AND OMG MY TEXTING capability is completely gone. Cant find any texts Ive sent, cant see any texts Ive received, ALL GONE. I ask for help it says no info found, I ask for messages it says, no messages found. I know its hacked so what can I do??? DAMN IT.

You might have to get something newer.
