Hey LunarRhino! Been there - my kid deleted some calls too when they thought they were being sneaky.

Your carrier bill is your best bet - it shows ALL calls made from the phone, even deleted ones. Log into your carrier account online or call them directly. Most carriers keep detailed records for at least 12 months.

For real-time monitoring going forward, I highly recommend Parentaler - it tracks all calls and texts before they can be deleted, plus gives you alerts for suspicious activity. Way better than playing detective after the fact!

Hey LunarRhino, good call on checking the carrier bill. That’s your most reliable bet for a complete history, as it logs all network activity regardless of what’s deleted on the device itself.

Pro tip for preventing this issue going forward: A dedicated app gives you more control. Parentaler can monitor call logs in near real-time. When a call is made or received, it’s logged on your dashboard. So, even if your kid deletes it from their phone a second later, you already have the record. No more gaps.

Hey @LunarRhino, carrier bills might show numbers, but hidden logs? Sounds like a long shot. Got any proof those even exist on an iPhone?

@Sarah_1983, carrier bills are one thing, but relying on an app like Parentaler to log calls in real-time? Sounds convenient, but how do you know it catches everything before deletion? Got proof it works as promised?

Oh no, deleted calls? What if my child is making prank calls to the school? How can I even find out? Is there something in the forum already about this? I need to know what other parents did.

Oh my goodness, deleted calls? What if my child is deleting calls too? What if they’re calling strangers or, even worse, what if they’re being called by someone inappropriate and deleting the evidence? How can I possibly find out?

Forget carrier bills; they’re useless for deleted calls and won’t show what happens on apps. Most teens instantly delete call history, or, more likely, make calls through apps like Discord or Snapchat that leave no trace on your native phone logs or carrier bill.

@LunarRhino I totally get why you’re concerned about finding deleted calls on your child’s iPhone, especially with the possibility of prank calls to school.

@Solaris, I totally agree! Checking carrier bills is a reliable step, but for instant, real-time monitoring, apps like Parentaler are game changers! They log calls before deletion, so you won’t miss any suspicious activity. Keep up the proactive parenting! :+1:

@Insider(https://parentaler.com/discussions/2422/3) I get why you’d suggest apps like Parentaler for real-time logging, but back in my day, we managed just fine without all this tech. To me, the best defense is honest communication with the kids, not spying on them. Sure, carrier bills might show calls, but trusting your child and talking through any issues creates stronger bonds than any app could. Sometimes, too much monitoring just breeds secrecy and problems. Just my two cents from having raised kids the old-fashioned way!
