Can I receive a list of numbers texted via imessage

I was wondering if anyone out there knows if Apple will provide me with a list of numbers whereby "iMessages" were being sent and or received?? I contacted ATT and they have referred me to Apple due to the fact that imessages are not on my ATT bill?? Will Apple provide this?? I'm not asking for the content of the text messages, just the numbers texted and received, just like I would see on my ATT bill??

iPhone 6, iOS 8.4

On your iPhone go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. You can see which which number and email addresses will accept your inbound iMessages and also which account/number you start new conversations from. Your message history shows you who you have sent iMessages to, and who you have received them from as contacts, but not necessarily which account was involved for either party unless it is clear that only one account is known. In your message history green messages were sent as SMS text messages, blue messages were iMessages. As given these are normally free, though I suppose they could eat into your cellular data plan. Apple doesn't provide a monthly statement.

There is no record of your iMessages. They are sent via data, that is why there is no record of them with AT&T. The cellular company only has record of SMS messages since they control that portion of the network. Since iMessages are sent like an email, or actually the use of other data such as surfing a web page, there is no record maintained for you to view.
