How can we hide/change sender's mobile number while sending a SMS to a receiver.

For example if I send a sms to some number 1234567890, the receiver can receive my sms without knowing my number.

I had gone through in couple of Questions in Stack Overflow regarding this and it was mentioned that it is not possible to hide / change the sender number.

But I can see some apps in android market which hides the sender SMS number.

Note : In the app, they had clearly mentioned

Your network-operator must support hiding your caller ID.

I want to know if Network Providers in the US support this option or not. Also how can I find out my Network provider supports this and what API I have to use for hiding the sender's mobile number?

It would be awesome if I got any clue in this

How can I change my SMS Sender ID?

You can create different sender IDs under Account -> Settings->Sender ID. When sending the SMS, you can then select the desired identifier in the "Sender id" field. It is also possible to enter a new sender directly into this field.

No.

But what you can do is use an SMS gateway which enables you to hide the callerID or which gives it a specific name. Just an alternative suggestion.

for example take that site, http://api.textmagic.com/ -> http://api.textmagic.com/https-api/textmagic-api-commands#send
