Is this possible to hide/Change the sender mobile number while sending sms in android?
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

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
