Judging by reports of (unrelated) trials, all SMS messages seem to be retained for long enough to be retrievable by the authorities. I presume they are kept by the phone company and disclosed on production of a court order.

Re: Data collection in government
There are companies offering tools & services for managing corporate mobile phones, logging such things as phone calls & text messages.
These records can then be used as input for billing (e.g. for technical, legal or medical advice) or retained for compliance purposes, e.g. logging a stock trader's contacts with clients.
