The singer, who has been with boyfriend Lou Al-Chamaa for five years, insisted that men are cheating if they send raunchy messages to anyone other than their girlfriend.
"Is it as bad as cheating? Yes, as it could lead to something else - why did they have a girl's number in the first place? There's obviously some intention," she told More. "It's a dumpable offence, for sure."
The 24-year-old revealed that she makes an effort to keep in regular contact with Al-Chamaa, despite her busy schedule.
"We're always communicating. I love Blackberry Messenger!" she said.
"I'm a romantic but I like to be private about my romantic life. I like doing stuff such as going for meals. I think you should show your appreciation all the time."
Lewis released new single 'I Got You' on Monday.
