There isn't an easy way to disguise SMS phone numbers.  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;Mobile applications for Facebook and Twitter are good ways to send messages that are not tied to a phone number. Other than using email or mobile applications, I am not sure there is a good solution for your request.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/218353015398884058/8547334956495368588/comments/default/124881675223314696'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/218353015398884058/8547334956495368588/comments/default/124881675223314696'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.anneadrian.com/2007/09/sms-and-instant-messaging-advantages.html?showComment=1230686463584#c124881675223314696' title=''/><author><name>Anne Adrian</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/10353479928793096415</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13064369120958642285'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.anneadrian.com/2007/09/sms-and-instant-messaging-advantages.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218353015398884058.post-8547334956495368588' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/218353015398884058/posts/default/8547334956495368588' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218353015398884058.post-4082107698445015490</id><published>2008-12-28T12:58:58.739-06:00</published><updated>2008-12-28T12:58:58.739-06:00</updated><title type='text'>Question re: IM and SMS pros/cons.

This is acceptable, but I'd rather not have all the phone numbers/times/dates I'm texting show up on my cell phone bill to company. I'm generally communicating with others on Blackberrys or iPhones. Its all on the up and up; just prefer a little more privacy. Thoughts as to best platform to use rather than standard cell phone company SMS?</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/218353015398884058/8547334956495368588/comments/default/4082107698445015490'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/218353015398884058/8547334956495368588/comments/default/4082107698445015490'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://blog.anneadrian.com/2007/09/sms-and-instant-messaging-advantages.html?showComment=1230490738739#c4082107698445015490' title=''/><author><name>Anonymous</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://blog.anneadrian.com/2007/09/sms-and-instant-messaging-advantages.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218353015398884058.post-8547334956495368588' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/218353015398884058/posts/default/8547334956495368588' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218353015398884058.post-4365689919977659702</id><published>2008-09-25T02:15:20.636-05:00</published><updated>2008-09-25T02:15:20.636-05:00</updated><title type='text'>The advantage of sending bulk sms in business is t...</title><content type='html'>The advantage of sending bulk sms in business is the speedy delivery, cheap cost, time saving factor and a guaranteed delivery to the recipient.

The benefits of SMS are so great, and there are a lot of cool companies out there supporting SMS.  I'm a real estate agent and I use, www.HouseFront.com when I'm with clients to show them home information.  So texting works for business purposes also.
