secret mobile phone

Just found the password for DP's online bank and read through his statements and it seems he has been putting the odd payment on a t-mobile phone which is strange considering to my knowledge he only has an orange phone.
So other than having an affair, why would he have this secret phone? or am I jumping the gun and could these payments exist for another reason? I am trying to build a portfolio of evidence against him and do intend to leave so please don't ask why I'm still here. How can I find the secret phone? any ideas how I can delve further into this?

contract laptop?

McDreamy · 21/04/2010 13:07

Dongle?

LaurieFairyCake · 21/04/2010 13:07

Whatever the reason it exists and he does not want you to know about it or he would have shared that with you. That in itself says something strong about the state of your relationship.

Reasons: secret child with phone - he puts credit on, sex phone chat, affair, downloading porn, secret job......

Poor you

Have any dc's been asking for one?

LoveBeingAMummy · 21/04/2010 13:08

It could be fraud, he mihgt not hvae noticed them.

Could it be a work phone that he has to claim back?

tbh i'd think it was an affair if it were me.

You could try logging onto t's website, don;t know if that might help?

McDreamy · 21/04/2010 13:08

Why have you decided to read through his online bank account? Have you got suspicions?

GoldenCoral · 21/04/2010 13:14

Yes, many suspicions. He would not have a company phone and all the DCs are on orange. Internet is all done through landline.
It doesn't make any sense.

Aw GoldenCoral I really hope it's not what you think Are you going to ask him?

GoldenCoral · 21/04/2010 13:18

no because then he'll just be more careful with whatever else he's hiding. I want to know everything before I go. Where would he hide a secret phone?

Very close to him I guess. In his briefcase, inside coat pocket, at work?

deleting · 21/04/2010 13:22

does he know you're going?

Malificence · 21/04/2010 13:22

In his car, I'm sure I remember a post by someone who had taken the door panels off to find one! In the garage / shed - it's going to be somewhere at hand I imagine, unless he keeps it at work.

Does he have a work coat / bag etc.

I found the secret phone in a small compartment in the car. Could you bluetooth?

GoldenCoral · 21/04/2010 13:24

No he doesn't know yet. He thinks he's successfully pulling the wool over my eyes.
I think he'll keep it at work but surely there must be something around to do with said phone?

OP posts:
GoldenCoral · 21/04/2010 13:25

No, no laptop. (as far as I know!)

Bluetooth good idea but I'm sure he'll have it switched off if its at home. I would.

Try looking under the seat in the car. Know a few who do that

Scorps · 21/04/2010 13:27

Car, tool box, suit jacket pocket, fishing box.... I am well versed in this mine used a credit card to top his up.

starshaker · 21/04/2010 13:27

Its also possible that there isnt another phone and just a sim card. Thats if his phone is unlocked

Malificence · 21/04/2010 13:28

Unless he's got an online account for the phone that you guess the password, it's unlikely you'll find any other evidence, it'll probably be a cheap PAYG phone so no bills etc. How large and how regular are the payments?

Karmann · 21/04/2010 13:28

Or the spare sim could be in the back of his existing phone (not where the sim card should be but held in place by the back cover IYSWIM.)

GoldenCoral · 21/04/2010 13:31

I only found one paymet for £5 but I could only get the statements to go back to last month. Didn't want to stay on his account too long incase he tried to log in at work.
Extra sim card could be possibility. Thanks.
Finding his username for tmobile site would be difficult as he uses tons of different names for his "secret" stuff and they're often random.

While we're on the subject of snooping, can anyone recomment dating sites he may be on? I have suspisions there too and have searched a couple but it wouldn't suprise me if he was on some "fuck buddy wanted" site.

GypsyMoth · 21/04/2010 13:51
