If you can't afford an attorney, you have a right to have one provided for you--that is your Constitutional right. Do NOT deal with this situation on your own--either retain an attorney or ask the court to appoint one. There is no way to predict what will likely happen from what you write--there are too-many variables, including the value of the wire, the personality of the prosecutor, how hard the phone company pushes, etc.; however, bear in mind that a felony could potentially result in a year or more in jail and also creates a criminal record that will impact future employment, credit, rentals, etc. You want an attorney to help your husband--a lawyer's assistance will maximize the chance of a successful defense, or at least negotiating to a much lower offense and punishment your husband could more safely plead to. Get an attorney before pleading or doing anything.
