reading another's cellphone inbox?

Hi rouwel23! I think it is not ok to read anybody's inbox unless you have the permission to do so. In some cases, people is fine with that kind of behavior. I have nothing to hide and my husband is welcome to do so but he never reads my inbox. He only reads them when I show it to him and that goes for me too. I guess, it is just respecting other people's privacy even though they are vvery close to you. Just my thoughts friend. Take care and have a nice day.

I read my husband inbox. that's because i have his permisson. then again even if i didn't have his approval i would still read it because I'm his wife and there shouldn't be any problems.

I think its a pretty bad habit, though i have it. I sometimes happen to read them when i have another phone with me. I'm trying to get over this habit.

I don't think it is ok to read one's inbox whether it be email or text messages. Everyone has a right to privacy if you read thier private messages without thier permission you are not respecting them very much. -Amber

I read my step sons cell phone messages. He lost it within our house and my son found it. It was a great opportunity to get to know what is going on in his life and what he discusses with his friends. I learnt a few things to about girls in the age group of 13-15 as well. Was very interesting.

yes, it is an intrusion to their privacy if you read their messages without their consent. I only read another person's messages after they give me their consent. If they say no, or they give restrictions as to what I may read, then I will respect that. I wouldn't want to have someone reading my private messages without me knowing about it. It would feel like a betrayal of trust.

i dont read another mobile inboxes since i dont want others to do that to my inbox too, i want them to respect my privacy and i can only demand it by showing them example.

i read my honey's inbox, and he reads mine as well, coz we dont keep secrets from each other.. its all in the level of trust...

I never read messages from others inbox..I feel its not good to read others private messages without their consent..only if my friends ask me to read messages i read but dont like to read personal and only those wonderful quotes or any nice forwarded messages.. Some of my close friends do read my messages but they always ask me whether they can read..i never mind them reading my sms..

I have never read anyones inbox msgs without them showing me. I know alot of friends who have done it to their boyfriends though. Personally, i wouldnt want to incase i saw something that upset me.. then id be kinda bummed that i made myself upset when i didnt have to be. Also...if you find something that you dont wanna see then it bugs you and you ask the other person bout it..they might get mad for snooping. Its to much of a mess i find.

well, i read my boyfriends messages all the time, sometimes when i see it empty i ask him why its empty, its really bad, and can affect our relationship, but i want to do it and want to know whos hes dealing with. he reads mine too. so no problem

I never read other's inbox without the permission of the owner to do so, yet, i can easilly borrowed cellphones from my friends.. I have my bestfriend who always reads my inbox, yet he's the only one i allow to do it, because im open to him, and so he is to me, that's why, we enjoy each other's inboxes, ahehehe!! But it's only between the two of us, especially whe we deal in texting with girls, hahahaha!!!!! ^_^

oooowwww.... i think it's kind of rude to read any message from an inbox other than your inbox, but there's no harm if you read it with consent. Try to put yourself in to their shoes, what would you feel. If you really want to know what is up with your partner just try to ask or have some conversation. Don't invade his/her privacy besides if you'll think about it doing that is just a low point for someone in a relationship. It's insulting on your partner's part coz it seems that there's something wrong with the "let's trust each other" part of your relationship. To others, like brothers or sisters or friends, it's the same, intrusion is the perfect word for it. Any ways, i hope you won't get mad or please try not to be offended about my thoughts. Well, to tell you the truth i did it once with my brother and he got mad about it. after that i did not do it again, coz i thought that what if my brother would also do it to me, i would definitely be mad about it.

no, because i trust him ,i think trustment is important between us.

Its common for us to read each others inbox rather my husband several times is the person who actually opens the messages when received and reads them and deletes them if he finds that they are of no need. I too go through his mobile many times. I dont find anything wrong about this. Yes i dont check into the inbox of anyother person except my husband. If i do this then there would be a guilt feeling that i am invading his or her privacy.

Well, it depends on the owner of the cellphone if he or she would allow other people to read his or her inbox. In my case, I read my boyfriend's inbox, but he gives me permission so there's nothing wrong with it.

actually i waana say privacy , my foot!! but suddenly i think of this hypocratic society of whom i am a part of (bloody hell) actualy privacy can be wrongly used too tell me all here whats to remain private between spouse even among siblings if thers is any thing , that is , if you aproch with a answer thats setback in thier relation ship that there is some private talk looking at the other side as i said about hypocrisy of this society they do lot of goosiping. they gossip like goose literally. they just make a ant into elephant and discuss sorry gooseep!! what i think is word privacy is in existence 'to some extent' from this hypocrisy

I dont want to read other's inbox because its not a good hobby and it is not fair also so i never read the msgs till now and also dont read in the future also.

I would never read anyone's inbox. I'm not that paranoid. If they cheat or whatever, they will slip up eventually. I don't see the need to go around playing "private detective" trying to see who they are talking to and what they have said. I'm sure their inbox is just as boring as mine. I have better things to do with my time. I would say this is not a healthy behaviour nor healthy relationship. A relationship should be based on trust.

At home, we do read messages of my sisters and my husband. That's how we are close to each other. We have an open communication and have a good relationship. We don't need to hide anything to each other that's why we are used doing it. I think it depends on your relationship. Some believe that its a private property and anyone should respect no mater what your relationship is...=)
