I am married but have been seperated for a few years. This past Friday I saw my wife for the first time and am trying to reconcile with her.
Fast forward to today. Her son calls me and asks if his mom is there. I said I didn’t know where she is and asked how he got my number. He mumbled something about his moms phone and as I was driving I just said “Sorry, I don’t know where she is and maybe she was at work”.
Just now I saw her sons number calling my phone again and I just let it go to voicemail. It was a message from my wife telling me “That was pretty damn dirty thing I had done”. HUH?? WTF?? So I call her on her sons number and he answers and tells me I’m going to jail. To jail for what??? What the hell are you talking about?
My wife has a prepaid Verizon phone and I have a prepaid Net10 phone. Somehow her phone got forwarded to my number. When I called her number it went to my voicemail.
How is this possible? I did not forward her phone. It’s Monday and I haven’t seen her since Friday. I certainly didn’t do anything to her phone when we were together. I talked to her Sunday but I was pretty whacked out from some muscle relaxers because of my bad back. She accused me of being drunk but I wasn’t. Those flexirils just kick my butt. They do the trick though.
I just don’t understand how her phone got forwarded to me unless maybe she got drunk and did it.
Needless to say she has basically told me to eff-off. This is bullshit. I love her and wouldn’t do anything to jeaopardize our realtionship.
And your question is, how could this have happened? Yes, it has to have been done at her phone, it seems likely either by her or your son, or at her phone company itself. You cannot have done it remotely.
OT: give up on the reconciliation for the time being, dude, it’s not going to happen soon from what you say here.
Well, it seems on a prepaid Verizon phone, you activate phone forwarding by dailing *72 and the phone number you want the call forwarded to, if that helps.
If someone wanted to set you up to be hated this is not a bad way to go about it. The bottom line is if you never had her phone and do not have her acct password you could not have done this from your end. It’s impossible. If you still have her acct password from when you were together there is no way you are escaping suspicion.
I really don’t understand how somebody you are supposed to be getting back together with would jump to the conclusion that you would do something like this–something so completely obvious. There’s just no reason for you to have done this. What would you accomplish getting all her calls?
The kid saying “You’re going to jail” makes me suspect that he did it. That’s just too over the top for this sort of thing. But, then again, I don’t understand calling and leaving a message like she did unless she was absolutely sure you did it. Just that alone made me think the son had something to do with it.
How does the son feel about you and a possible reconciliation with the mother? I’d go with the son as well but dealing with it could be a tough one, mothers and their sons and all that …
Thanks all. They did turn it off and hopefully set a pasword on her account. I know for a fact I did not do it. I really hesitate to say her son did it. We were never the best of friends or anything but I don’t see him doing anything like that.
On the other hand though my wife does live with a man that calls her his girlfriend from what she says. She swears she sleeps on the couch and they don’t sleep together. Who knows. We stayed at a hotel last Friday night and parted Saturday morning. I spoke to her on Sunday and that was it. I was working Monday when I got a call from her son asking for his mom. I had no idea how he got my number but apparently he had called his moms phone and got me instead.
I know on most cell phones I’ve had you can call your own phone number from a different phone and usually press * to access your voicemail and if you have a password set you enter it. Can you access the call forwarding menu through that option though???
I guess my vote is either my wife did it, her boyfriend did it or her son. Yes, it appears there is not going to be any reconciliation. This really hurts me a lot but there seems to be nothing I can do to fix it. Maybe I’ll forward this thread to her. I doubt it will do any good though. Perhaps it just wasn’t meant to be.
Be sure you are not misunderstanding what I mean by “account password”. This is NOT the password you use to retrieve your voice mail. This is a password or “security code” for the entire phone account. You cannot enter your Verizon account over the phone to make changes without entering this code, or without giving it to an account representative if they are making changes to your account. If you did not have the physical phone in your possession, or this security code, there is no way you could have made the changes you are being accused of. She can call Verizon the confirm this.
Well I certainly don’t know any of her passwords. No idea how long she’s even had her phone because she’s had several different phones/accounts since we seperated. I just called my phone from a different one to go through the voice mail and there was nothing in there that I could find that would allow me to forward the phone. But mine is a Net10 and hers is Verizon. The only calls that I even received that were for her are the two I mentioned that came from her son. That was Monday. The only time I had access to her phone was before we checked out of the hotel last Saturday. If I had done it then I would have been getting all of her calls from that point. I don’t know how many calls she receives but you would think she must have had some calls between Saturday and Monday.
MODS: Please close thread. Now that I know how it works (and it sounds typical of any phone I’ve ever had as far as activating call forwarding) I feel vindicated. Wife-less, but vindicated. This is so fucked up. damnit. Why are women so unreasonable? DON’T ANSWER THAT!!
