I doubt the provider intentionally texted you to cause you trouble, sounds like she was just following through once you had been verified.

I'm a  little surprised to be honest, if my SO was to intercept something like that and the shit hit the fan at home, i don't think my first response would be me on TER posting about it.  I'd be deleting anything and everything and staying far away from anything to do with hobbying....just saying.

I'm a big believer in coded text messages for confirmations even  if the fellow has indicated it is ok to call/text via a cell phone.  Most of my clients think it is cute and silly but they all appreciate my extra level of security each and every time I do it.   I can't tell you how many clients have said it is ok to text them and I find out later they forgot their phone, or their SO was very interested in their texts and they are relieved at my extra caution.   For example, I'll text something like "Please confirm your appointment with ComEd by either going online or calling our main number".   And then I or my assistant will email them that I sent the coded confirmation message.  That is an easily explained "wrong number" or an error with ComEd to the SO.  I have a half dozen of these I use just to be careful.   I do also agree that if you are a gentleman in this hobby, you need to be extra careful about knowing where your phone is and I'd stick with the old adage deny deny deny (as in wrong number).  Nobody on our end wants to intentionally cause a ruckus for the fellow.   It is most certainly bad for business so it was probably an innocent error on her part.    

Oh Boi.....

I text w/my ATFs all the time... Sometimes they initiate or vise versa but it's your responsibility to make sure when it's appropriate times to text/call or communicate...., in ur original contact to the providers , you should of stated: do not text/call, only contact me via pm's, I'll get back in touch so until then please no communication of sort.. Etc the list goes on...... We don't know your situation, if ur single married, gay, str8, Bi.... Whatever......... But qWe're just responding to your request on a timely courteous manner....  But as you stated in ur post: your D-Ass left ur phone open for spouse to see.... Don't blame the provider for doing her JOB!!!!   GOOD LUCK!!!

No problem from me. I'm not Married.
