One of my clients brought in a Uniden TRU9480 cordless phone and made an unusual request: can messages deleted from the phone's digital answering machine be recovered? My first response: No. But then she said...
The messages are from her husband, who died in a heavy equipment accident this past summer. She is left with 3 children, ages 4, 2, and 7 months. Her 2-year-old son accidentally deleted the messages. She badly wants the messages recovered so in future years her children can hear what their dad's voice sounded like. (Yes, she knows it will probably be expensive.)
I have experience recovering deleted files from flash devices like USB drives and SD cards. And there are many labs doing data recovery work on failed hard drives. But a cordless phone like this... I'm not sure where to start. I've sent an email to Uniden in hopes of getting a "wiring diagram" of the circuit boards, which might help a data recovery lab identify memory chips.
Does anyone know of a data recovery place that would take a job like this?
