If you made a backup before deleting them... :

Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup


No backup? = No recovery, sorry.

The only way to recover a deleted message is to restore the device to a backup that was made when the message was on the device. If you do not have a backup, you cannot restore the message. Understand that restoring to a backup will delete all current data on the phone and return it to the condition it was in at that date/time.


Given the additional information you provided, I doubt that will happen, since backups are written over each time you create one. There is no way you could recover 4 months worth of messages. I don't even want to ask how you could "accidentally" delete 4 months worth of messages.
