Privacy: Caller ID and Text Messaging Previews

How do you turn off Caller ID,Voicemail and Text Messaging previews on the home screen of the iPhone so everyone can't see your business in case you put your phone down for a few minutes.

Thanks!

The only one that really "gets into your business" is SMS. In the passcode settings you can tell it not to show a preview.

You could also go into Settings>General>Auto-Lock and set it to 1 minute. Not a perfect solution, but it could help.

Even when auto-locked it will show the Text Message when it is received by lighting up the screen.

I for one have the pass code enabled and it works like a charm, only showing the sender but not the message.
