Redirect SMS from specific numbers to email

How is it possible to redirect text messages from specific numbers to email or some other means of viewing them? When I view the phone log, there are no texts from my number on my soon to be ex-husbands phone. It shows an Internet data exchange, but no text message. Yet he receives texts from other people, and their numbers appear. How is he able to "hide" messages from me, and still view them and respond without my number showing up on the phone log? Does he have a second phone he's forwarding to, an email account, or some app? Like I said, its only my messages that are "hidden" because he's somehow able to keep his girlfriend from seeing them.

iPhone, iPhone OS 3.0.1

No, it's not possible to automatically forward texts. Perhaps he's just deleting the messages from you once he reads and responds to them. If I thought someone was going to be snooping on my phone, that's what I'd do. Well, no, actually, I'd put a lock on my phone to prevent the intrusion. Phone numbers of people he's exchanged text messages with would not appear in the Recents log. That's not the way it works.

I'm not talking about on the phone itself, but on the phone bill. When I log on to AT&T, I see our account with phone calls and data/text. If I call him or he calls me, the call is there. But there is no record of a text from my phone to his, or vice versa. I KNOW I am sending and receiving texts from him, but the phone bill only says an Internet/media data transfer has occurred. Yet, if I text him from a friends phone, that text appears. He somehow has just my number redirecting elsewhere, and I can't figure it out.

Do you both have iPhones? If so, then the messages may be getting sent as iMessages and wouldn't appear on your bill. In any event, this is really more of a carrier billing question. If the account is in your name, call your carrier and ask them.

Best of luck.

So anyone using iMessages won't show up on the phone bill, but all his "friends" who are showing up have something other than an iPhone? So if I turn iMessages off, they should appear with my name again?
