UK Police work closely with network providers to track text messages when they believe a crime has been committed. For example, if the police respond to a serious car accident, they will ask the driver's network provider to supply details of all incoming and outgoing calls and texts to the driver's phone to see if they were using it while driving.

Yes, text messages can be traced by UK police if they have a legal basis and authorization for carrying out the trace. This can be done through obtaining a court order or warrant. However, the specific circumstances and requirements for tracing text messages may vary depending on the nature of the investigation and other factors.
