Is it possible for random numbers to show up in your text history that you never texted?

I was looking at my husbands text history an came across these numbers with names of girls in his text history, he told me he didn't know wh they were an that he had never sent any text message or any other messages to these numbers, he tells me that his phone just randomly looks stuff up or send things an he don't know why. Could this be happening or did I really catch him texting or messaging these girls.

Normally I’m all for giving the benefit of doubt in these cases, but once is an incident, twice or more is habit.
I’m sorry you have to go through such a hard time now.

He has an iPhone 5c. I also found numbers like <personal info redacted>, +7 (626). Why would these type of numbers be in a text history? Anyone have any ideas

Look at his contacts and see if you find the girls names! They have to be there or their names wouldn't show up.

They were there at one time or another because of the name showing up in the text history with the number, but he had deleted them from his contacts now, an told me he's never seen that name before or how it got there

Everyone with a smartphone gets and occasional SPAM call and unsolicited text messages from time to time so “possibly yes” is the answer to your original question. The information regarding your husband and girls do not need to be posted here at iMore, and with that in mind, if you feel that extra-marital activity is taking place, please seek assistance from an attorney, a counselor or another professional who specializes in such matters. Thank you.

I’ve never had them as texts and certainly if I did they wouldn’t have ended up in my contacts ... I do get the phone calls a lot though!
