For picture messaging, the bills only show how many have been sent or received. The billing system is a little behind on times that it can not even give a date/time stamp. However if the account holder called in the reps can give the number that it was sent to, but this is very rare, because a lot of work has to be pulled to get that information. There is no way to retrieve the picture unless someone gets your phone or the receivers phone and goes through it. Hope this helps.
