    I know that text messages can be pulled to view what they say. My daughter uses an IM app. On my att site I can see where she used Internet/MEdia and when it was sent and received in the same place where I can see all of texts. I'm assuming that this is the IM app, of course, and I was wondering if att could pull what she's sending and receiving just like a text?

    No - since IM apps use 'the internet' there is no way to track these messages unless you install something on the phone itself. Depending on the phone you may be able to find an application that can do that.

    Too many messages are sent for a carrier to keep track of the contents of individual messages in real time. Pursuant to court orders messages may be retrieved from archives.

    Actually many carriers including AT&T don't even store any text messages. If you really want to see what your daughter sends on her phone, ask for the phone and check what is in the phone's memory for IM's. Unless she recently cleaned it out you should see the info on there.
