Fake text from my number?
My partner received a text message which appeared to be from my number as it showed up in his conversations with me. However it did not appear in mine and I am 100% certain I did not send it. My handset was next to me in my flat as I slept (I live alone), no one else had access to it.
My question is, could someone have hijacked my number to send that one text message?
The content of the text has put my relationship at risk and I am worried someone has something against me from being with him so I really need some answer to all this!
I am going to contact my carrier/network, but would like some more information!
Any help would be much appreciated! Thank you!

Someone used caller ID spoofing to make it appear that you sent the text. If it becomes an issue, your provider can help you sort it out. See below:
