Block my number on responding to MMS

So I think somebody picked up our email in Roberto engineering to get my telephone number they sent me a spam message but also included five numbers on either side of mine. Which means that 10 people in my immediate locale, my neighbors… Got this piece of trash. I would like to advise the sender, That I have connections with the FCC, department of commerce, and multiple Law Enforcement agency's.

Along with the group messaging of course I have his telephone number, supposedly. And included email. So I just wanna respond back to his text but I don't want him to know who it came from how do I hide my number on an outgoing SMS or MMS??

A quick accurate answer is so appreciated. And also the consequences. I.e. if I remove my telephone number it looks like I'm only allowed SMS it still may have my telephone number attached? IPhn Newbie ~RAPon

Makes sense I figured it would work like that something I guess the pay-as-you-go Sim card would have to be addressed to a particular phone carrier. That makes sense to AT&T doesn't like you to have two working cards for the same phone, and I should have a different number in which case they would watching to buy that second line.

I guess I could go the way of the burner phone.

hey!...I have a Google phone account that's probably the best way

I didn't Think of ! Thanks

Can you check my post at all I don't quite remember saying that I studied policy and protocol of the FCC I know a couple. At least they used to be and big tech violates thoseWholesale every day. No sure enough I did I didn't claim to be up I want all the latest legislation or even the old legislation. So I'm gonna say that was really helpful but there's no button for that. Too bad

You can hide caller ID on phone calls but not on SMS/MMS

Buy a pay as you go SIM.

If you actually have "connections" with the FCC, I'd think you would already be aware that it is against the law to hide or obfuscate the sending phone number in SMS or MMS messages...
