The signs of cheating that individuals had to look for several years ago when they believed their spouse or partner was having an affair have certainly changed a great deal over the last several years. Infidelity was once a problem that only occurred in 'real time'. In today's world however, the places that infidelity occurs and the signs of cheating that a person will need to look for have changed dramatically. There are continuously more individuals all the time that are engaging in affairs behind their partner's back both on the World Wide Web (online infidelity), and with the use of their cell phone.
Because of the many advancements that have been made in the field of technology and the changes that have occurred in the signs of cheating, effective ways that have become available to assist people in catching cheating partners have also changed.
Signs of cheating on cell phones would include when a partner has erased text messages, call logs, address books, caller ID information, and all other types of data that could prove they are in fact having an affair with another person behind the back of their spouse or partner.
If you believe that your partner has erased text messages and other forms of data because they are trying to hide evidence of an affair, the first step you should take is to contact an experienced private investigator. They have the specialized tools and the extensive knowledge that is required to recover erased text messages and other data that is commonly erased from these devices when infidelity is occurring. Some of the helpful information that can be obtained when a cell phone forensic investigation is performed would include deleted logs of calls that have been made and received, SMS, sext and text messages, entries that have been made and erased in the cell phone's address book, caller ID, graphics and photographs, and other data.
Before trying to recover erased text messages from a cell phone, it is important to note that you could actually damage and destroy the data on the cell phone if you attempt to use devices known as SIM card readers. Successfully obtaining the needed evidence you are looking for very rarely occurs when SIM card readers are used. The best and most effective way of recovering erased text messages and other forms of data that people tend to erase when they are cheating with someone else is a cell phone forensic investigation.
