I would like some advice on what can be downloaded from mobile phones.

I went through a nasty split with my ex girlfriend and during this time she sent malicious and nasty text messages to people from my pay as you go mobile phone.

I found out about this and changed my sim card so I had a new number.

She has persuaded some of the people that it was in fact me who sent these malicious messages and who was calling them late at night, and they have reported me to the police.

Today the police came and arrested me and have seized my mobile phone, saying they was going to send it off to have information downloaded from it.

I denied all knowledge as I have a new sim card in the phone and cancelled my old number with the network.

The network said that it would take 90 days for my old number to be obsolete when I changed sim cards.

So my questions are these.

1. Can they find out my old number now I have a new sim card?
2. What information can they download from my phone now I have a new sim card and a new number, will there be anything from the old number.

I have really been stitched up by my ex and need some help and advice.

Thank you.

Ice.

sorry you having such a trying time at the mo,if phone had a sd card in it then yes they could obtain whats on it,if no sd card then info is on the sim as you have changed sim then they can trace phone to what sim it came with when bought and if this was you then they can log where the phone was when calls etc where made,all very time consuming and expensive,this sounds like a spat not a hannibal lectar type crime,also not sure this is really the place why not get free legal advise,all solicitors usually do afirst hour free advise system

Thank you for an honest reply , more than I have got from other forums.

Basically it is a pay as you go mobile with a new sim card.

The old sim card is gone.

So with a new sim card what will they find on the phone ?

Will my old number be gone ?

Will calls and texts from the old number and old sim card still be on the phone ?

Thanks Ice
