I know, I was wrong for breaching privacy but it's too late, I did it. I scrolled the history and back in April it appears he purchased a virtual phone number. I know this after seeing his texts log and doing further investigation. I asked him about it and he had no clue what it was about. He received a series of texts from a California number in April. When I called the number it had a recorded message which stated "Thanks for the call. Configure your number's voice URL to change this message. Let us know if we can help you in any way during your development."I can understand one SMS going to his phone by mistake by a certain number. But he received a total of 6 texts at 2:30 in the morning from this phone number. He said it might have been his mobile phone provider. But I called his provider and they didn't send these texts. They are a wholly owned Canadian company and the texts came from California.My husband is retired. He has a cell phone. He has an email. There is really no reason he would ever need a virtual phone number. I think this is suspicious. Why would he take on a virtual phone number??

I have bought a virtual number. Some apps (like LINE or Telegram) require a phone number for verification, and at least I do not want to give a "real" number.

You’ve been faithful sweethearts and each other’s strongest advocate for years and years?
He’s never cheated on you or any prior relationship?
Then why wouldn’t you believe this explanation?
However, if he has a pattern of cheating, if he is a known cheater, if he has cheated on you or his previous partners, well then yes this could be a huge red flag!
Has he been a faithful man all his life?

reader, anonymous, writes (16 July 2019): You confronted your husband about it. No-one here can read his mind, or know his motives. They may be purely innocent, and perhaps not.
Why would you presume there to be something sinister behind it? Does he have a history of cheating?
You probably haven't heard the news; but people receive robo-calls with local area codes; and they call you over and over. If you're foolish, you may call these numbers back; and you will open-up a can of worms. Sometimes all they need is a voice-response or callback, and you've authorized God knows what!
This is an age of scams and high-tech sabotage, and when you go snooping around on another person's phone; you could be authorizing or activating a virus or scam. Making their device vulnerable to any number of unauthorized electronic-intrusions.
You apparently don't trust your husband. You have already decided he's up to no-good. What can anyone here tell you without increasing your suspicions?
You had the courage to snoop and investigate behind his back, why don't you have the nerve to address your issues to his face? You probably won't believe him no matter what.
Keep asking him. That's how husbands and wives work-out their problems, my dear. Explain to him why you remain suspicious, and feel the first answer he gave you is inadequate.
In business, we use direct inward dialing (DID) (aka virtual phone number) to forward incoming calls to our mobile phones, desk phones, or designated-landlines; so we won't miss any important calls regardless of where we are.
Looking for incriminating evidence to pin on him only will create problems in your marriage. Judge him by his character. If he lacks credibility, has always been untrustworthy, and a proclivity to be deceitful. Then what good is snooping around and investigation, if you're not going to leave him no matter what you find anyway?
He's a grown-man, and really doesn't require your permission to have a virtual phone number, for whatever reasons he has.
Investigation is for the purpose of finding facts and/or evidence. With the intent of taking some form of action, creating a case, or argument.
What do you plan to do if you discover he's up to no-good?
If he has violated his vows many times before, and he has gotten-away with it, why start building a case against him now? You're both very mature people; and if you don't have trust in your marriage by now, it is quite sad.
You have no respect for his privacy; therefore, he will find a way to have it in spite of that. To tell you why would defeat the purpose.
How's that!
