    Another way, then, is to get an account with a cellular
provider that is non-Telco company, or differant than the land
line provider that the husband works for, and still use an alias
second party to purchace the service.
    In most areas there seems to be more than one provider
of cellular service.  Furthermore; in my area there are a couple of
providers of landline phone service, allthough not in the same
neighbourhood at once, she could move to an area with the differant
company if they have the same setup.
    Even though he still may be able to get a number through
his contacts,  and of monitering numbers that he may be watching,
it may provide an extra layer of protection of his
getting an address or a list of numbers that she has been calling.
