It's a bit of a long story so I'll just give the pertinent information.


Last fall a client bought me a cellphone as he knew I had lost mine. He had already opened it and had bought and inserted the SIM card and then gave it to me as an "early Christmas present". I've known him for a long time and always trusted him so had no reason to think anything weird of it.

But, shortly afterwards I realized that he was the one person I could not text. When I would try to text him, nothing would happen. Not even a failed message text. Just nothing. This went on for a couple of weeks - he could text me but I could not respond. Then one day it returned to normal. He said it was because his number was in my contacts and for some reason it was screwing up. But I recall I had other numbers in my contacts and did not have a problem texting them.

I no longer have the phone and there is a bit more to the story now but I just want to know what you guys think. I want to trust that he has been truthful but there have been some issues and this one in particular keeps nagging at me even though it happened a while ago.
 
He may have blocked your number as a precaution?

Some phones don't send a message when that happens, but the blocker is still able to send messages.

Maybe but I don't see why he would have blocked my number. He was e-mailing me almost every day and kept texting me asking if it was working yet.... He kept asking me to keep trying to text him.

And I had no problem phoning him. (He would ask me to phone because I could not text him).

Maybe its this that could shed some light on the issue/ maybe not... but since you are reluctant to share...we'll never know

Just one of the many cellphone spyware solutions available. Maybe your phone was set up to not visibly log outgoing communication to his number. For example you can set up a phone to automatically forward a "daily digest" of activity such as calls, txt and email. He gave it to you all set up, so it could definitely have beenr rigged. Take it to a cellphone store to get a wipe and software reinstall.
 
It does seem suspicious if it's only his number that you couldn't message.

Definitely something to do with a setting (or some sort of hidden app) on either yours or his phone.

Yes, he set it up and then gave it to me - I admit that bothered me a bit.... The phone is long gone but I am just wondering.
 
Frankly, it sounds creepy that someone would give you a phone to use. What is wrong with you using your own phone? Even if it's a privacy thing, he could have easily asked you not to text or call him because his SO might have the phone. Even if he wanted to give you a phone as a gift, then why open it and have the SIM card already installed? Even if you trust him, I would decline the phone just in case he has malicious intentions.

A sure fire way to find out how many calls, texts and data was used on the phone would be to check the bill, but that doesn't help you in this case.

I've known him for a long time so I have trusted him but I am starting to wonder lately. He does not have an SO.

I lost my phone again recently (I am bad at losing phones. I admit it, LOL) and he was very quick to give me his old one even though I had already told him that I was no longer comfortable with accepting a phone from him. He assured me that I could go get my own SIM card and do a factory reset so I accepted it.

he could also have set up this new one to listen in on all incoming/outgoing calls

WTF! You mean this "gentleman" could be monitoring all of Miss Croft's incoming and outgoing verbal and text messages?

Advice to Miss Croft: Destroy the damn phone immediately.
 
We could speculate till we're blue in the face, or you can cough up the dough and get someone to look at it that knows this type of software. Anyone who's a bit computer savy can scan the phone for any apps and tell you 100% what was done to it.

lol how is this news? not only that you can listen in 24/7 on the phones microphone, view the camera, know the exact location. And the hilarious part is that everyone paid big money to essentially allow others to spy on them. But thats a whole different story

Doing this might also give you a degree of peace of mind if it comes back clean, or the ability to protect yourself if there is some spying app on the phone.

You need to be more careful with your phones. There is a risk of ID theft but also compromising photos. Get your phone GPS protected so you can trace where it is. (That is how that guy found his stolen phone. Unfortunately, the Somali killed him.)

True story: I took some compromising pics of a young lady (young but over the age of 21) on HER phone. Sure enough, she lost the phone (and the pics on it).

Definitely buy a new SIM card so that you have control over the account. One thing many people don't realize is that a factory reset is not a reliable or secure way to actually erase a phone. If you must keep this phone from your client, then you may want to follow this site for detailed instructions on how to do a true reset so that no data or unwanted programs are on the phone.
