    I'd say believe to the bill unless your husband has 100% alibi on all 6 occasions.

    A good topic for http://www.itv.com/jeremykyle/be-a-guest/. They use lie detectors there ;)

    Had this happen to me only on my land line some years ago. Phoned BT to complain they maintained I had made the calls.
    The only problem was I was in Cyprus at the time with the Forces and my wife and young daughter certainly didn't make them.

    BT grudgingly refunded the charges. So it could be a mistake.

    thanks for replying, it is so strange these calls was at 10 in the morning and 4 o,clock teatime. i know my old man and sex lines at that time of day i just don't believe it,thinking about the dates he was at work some of the times. i have emailed orange asking them to look into this but don't hold much hope.it is affecting our marriage at the moment because i don't know if i can believe him i am all over the place i feel so hurt over this

    Come on...
    Don't make a mountain out of a molehill. Even if he made the calls, it's just a few phonecalls, not a big deal. The majority of men are interested in !!!!!! in some degree even if they don't admit it. How a phone call is worse?
    If the cost was significant it's a more important problem to think of than anything else.

    If your question is 'could this be a billing error?', then yes, of course it could be. Only you can weigh up the odds of that happening 6 times when you are absent.
    Assuming that the phone is SIM-locked (and if not, it should be), then no-one else can have had access without knowing the PIN.
    I don't think this is really a mobile phone issue; it's a relationship issue.

  • OK just spoke to orange and they have credited the account with the cost of the calls and changed his number free of charge they said it was possibly because his number was ported over from o2

    This makes sense only if the charges were for incoming premium texts, no for outgoing calls.

    A look in the call logs will quickly tell you if he dialled those numbers or not. Unless he's wiped the logs.
    I don't know of any way that a wrongly billed premium call could then appear in the call logs?
    Probably not what you want to hear, but you did ask the question.

    yes i did ask the question and no it is not in the call log, i don't think he knows what a call log is.this is a 60year old man that cannot even send a text.he only has a mobile for emergencies
