Abstract
Abstract Disclosed is a method for retrieving a deleted short message in a mobile telecommunication terminal. The mobile telecommunication terminal has an additional data area, for indicating whether or not the deleted message is retrievable, in a start address region of each short message storage block within a memory. If a user demands for retrieval of a message, data in the data area identifying retrievability of the message retrieves only the short message retrievable upon the user's demand by referring to the data identifying whether or not the message in a message storage block is retrievable.
