How To Use Phone Records To Catch A Cheating Partner

07/2/2009 - Relationship Is your partner cheating? Maybe you do not know for sure, but you suspect that they are. You need proof before approaching him or her. Suppose you are wrong and he or she is not cheating. The accusations may damper or kill the relationship. One way to know for sure is to use phone records.

Spying on your partner or hiring a private investigator may be out of your financial realm. One inexpensive way to gather information is through cell phone records. Cheating partners usually use their cell phone to communicate with their romantic partner.

Most would rather use their cell phone than a home land line. To a cheater, the cell phone is safer. No one in the house can pick up another line to listen in and it is easier to conceal his or her conversation. Knowing this fact, you can use it to your advantage.

In general, cell phone companies keep very detailed and accurate records. Most cell phones keep a call log that can be easily viewed. They usually record the number, date and time of incoming calls, missed calls and received calls. If you have access to your partner's cell phone, check the call logs. You may have to take his or her phone into another room in the middle of the night to check it, but if you get the chance, do it.

Check the call log for frequently repeated numbers or names that you do not recognize. Look for repeated outgoing calls to the same number as a cheating partner may have to call their other love because they may be married or have another partner as well. If you partner is calling the same number repeatedly for no good reason, then they may be cheating on you.

As well as checking the call logs, check text and picture messages on your partner's cell phone. Even though these can be deleted easily, most people do not take the time to do so. Look at the picture or media file, as there may be pictures of his or her other lover on their cell phone if the phone is a camera phone.

If you have access to the cell phone bill, you can check the records in more detail. If you are married or live together, you may have easy access to the cell phone bill. Look for repeated numbers or text messages on the detailed bill. If you do not recognize the repeated number, make a note of it.

You may want to call the number to see who answers. If you are using your partner's cell phone to redial the number, the other party may recognize the number and think that their lover is calling. He or she may answer with "hey sweetheart" or "hello lover," so be prepared for the shock. At this point, it is not hard to figure out what is going on.

If the cell phone bill is not detailed or itemized, you may be able to go online to get the information or you may be able to request an itemized bill from the carrier.

If your partner seems secretive when talking on their cell phone or hangs up suddenly when you enter the room, then cheating may be happening. These are just a few simple methods to catch a cheating partner using phone records. There are many more methods to use to catch a cheating partner.
