Can you make sure an abuse counselor's name or phone number will not show up on your cell phone bill even if you erase it from the memory if you know that your abuser takes care of paying the bills?

Answer 1

Erasing the number from the memory won't erase the number from the bill. And I'm assuming he goes through that list with a fine tooth comb. I would assume that when "stranger" call abuse counselors they don't get much info. I'm sure they don't volunteer who they are, what they do and that you are calling them. For the future, go to a Dollar Store, Wal Mart, etc. and get a calling card. You'll have the "privacy" and "portability" of a cel phone but you'll be calling an 800 number and then the counselor's number. That won't shot up on the bill. Your other option is to buy a cheap TracFone (you can get them for as little as $19.99 now). ~ T The above post is a good one. I volunteer in British Columbia for an "Abused Women's Center" and all calls are private and the number comes up at "private" and not under the name of the Women's Shelter. However, don't bother with the card, simply use the phone of one of your friends or relatives. YOU SHOULD NEVER email friends about your problems, nor use your cell or personal phone at home because he could very well find out. He can't be around you 100% so plan your escape (that's what is) very carefully and realize once you put yourself in the hands of a counselor at an Abused Women's Center they will take good care of you. You will go to a "Safe House" and no one knows where you are unless you make the mistake of phoning a friend or family member and telling them. You can tell them before hand that you are going this route, but you'll be gone for awhile and not to worry. I would like to make it very clear that ANY abuse calls that come into the Center are taken very seriously and an appointment is made (if the situation is dire you can go right into these centers for help and get it!) The reason many of us don't discuss too much on the phone is because we are well aware the abuser can find out information through conversations. Discussions are kept between the victim and the counselor. Good luck hon
