how do I find out who a mobile no belongs to?

maindrain

My husband has been texting other women, some not in a good way, I have a copy of his bill but without access to his phone. which I wont get, its just numbers.

Im looking for creative. even sneaky ways of identifing who the numbers belong to, bearing mind that some of them will be legit texts for work or friends, so I dont want to give the game away with them.

Any suggestons gratefully accepted

thank you

You could try searching on Google perhaps, if they've noted a number down somewhere publically they may come up (for example, I had a wrong number call me the other week and found out the name and location of the caller because they'd signed some online petition using that number).
Don't know if Facebook has a 'find a friend' feature using a mobile number?

But if you know he's been texting other women, does it particularly matter to find out who they are?

If you think some may be friends and family, check them against any address books you may have in paper or online.

Otherwise, you could ring them and ask for someone with a random name and, when they say they aren't that person, hope that they'll give you their real name. You might want to get a new pre-pay SIM card so it doesn't come back to you.

Why not ask him?

Erm... What exactly will you achieve if you manage to identify them?

The problem is with your husband, not the women at the other end.
They may well be single and have thought nothing of exchanging risqu! texts.
He, on the other hand, knows exactly what he is doing.

If you want to confront him, just do. Knowing who they are is just a detail.

j.e.j.

you could ask over on the phones board, - they might know of possible ways of identifying a mobile number.

If you only have his bill, and dont even know who the numbers belong to? and that they are saucy texts to other women?

If you know he's been texting other women from another source, doesnt that help you ID them.

He has confessed to two of them, as I saw the text about sex by accident.

however looking at his bill I think that there are at least a couple more, texts late at night, when he's out etc.

I want to know as we are supposed to be going to Relate to sort things out, but Im not sure if there is any point continuing with the relationship.

I do know the problem is him and not the other women, but both the women I know about know me too.

I once had a little spell in PI work some time ago just when mobiles had started to start getting popular. My boss was asked to get a name for the mobile phone owner.

I called the number and introduced myself as being from XYZ supermarket and would like to do a quick survey if she had time and in return would send some XYZ vouchers.

I asked some questions relevant to XYZ supermarket eg could you rate our prices out of ten, one being disatisfied and 10 being very happy.

Did ten questions and then thanked her for helping and could I take a name and address to send the vouchers to...

So he is being underhand and you want to fix things by being underhand also.

Time to talk about everything calmly with the person who knows.

If he's confessed to two of them, whats the point in checking any more ? Time to get rid.
