How do I protect my Verizon blocked number when texting?

I was shocked to find that my Verizon iPhone blocked number was in fact revealed when I sent text to an Android user who was employing a little app refused by Apple named Mr. Number. I like to know that I am safe and protected and when and when I'm not. I like to have anonymity upon certain occasions when using my phone. I had always placed trust in Apple for ther supposedly having my best interests in mind as they control their world and the trade-off to us, their loyal consumers, was to expect a safe and well managed environment. I have found so many instances where this is not the case.
After finding that my blocked number was revealed to this Android user employing his Mr. Number app, I immediately did a search and ended up at the app store and downloaded everything I could find that promised to do a similar thing, though ultimately nothing did what Mr. Number does. I even paid for two or three of them and upon initial review, I found that not one actually even did what they claimed to do. I'll of course be spending more time with each to see if I've missed anything, but I have to say how very very dissappointed I am in Apple for not providing more security to its iPnone users when it surly must know what we are up against. Apple does in fact know about Mr. Number as after visiting their web site they state that "Apple doesn’t allow developers to build better calling and texting apps for the iPhone." I surly agree with this statement.
Apple! Please consider the vulnerability we have as you've not allowed us to protect our privacy sufficiently.
Are there any suggestions or resources, apps etc.., that I've not heard of? Any suggestions to making my phone more protected when it comes to my phone number and other information associated with it?
Many thanks in advance!

just assumed that I was being protected when using it. Not the case I find, by accident. So much for assuming...and not getting into the fine details with, I guess, Verizon as I pay them for the basic blocing service...or at least I think I pay...maybe ints included...
Caller number blocking { ie your number when you call someone } ONLY covers the CALL part of the service. There is NO way to block your phone number EVER when sending a text message.

How do I get my number to show up as a blocked number when I call

HOw do I get my number to show up as a blocked number when I call someone

I think you want to simply hide the caller ID and be anonymous, not "be a blocked number" because you wouldn't be able to call anyone.
Back when I did that, I dialed *70, waited for the next dial tone, and dialed normally. I forget which carrier that was. Verizon is *67 these days.
Search for "Verizon block caller ID" for example. Verizon has a page and I'm sure the other carriers do, too.

Not possible, once it's deleted it is gone.

Is the iPhone 5 (at least on verizon, which mine is) really unlocked?
The sim slot in all Verizon iPhone 5's is officially unlocked out of the gate. The phone will work just fine in the UK using any compatible carriers's sim.
If it will work in the UK, what type of sim would I need? I think I saw the mention of a nano sim- is that correct?
You need a Nano sim card which you can get from any supported iPhone carrier in the UK.
You don't need to do anything with Verizon but fulfill your existing contract.
Bear in mind, warranty/support will only be valid in the US, & the phone will not support LTE using any UK sim.

How to find out my verizon account number and pass code?

Recently I tried to port one Verizon prepaid cellphone number to another carrier. During the porting the carrier asked me to provide the Verizon account number and pass code. How can I get this info?
Thanks.

Just as SuzyQ stated, Verizon Prepaid account numbers should be your mobile number, and as for the passcode, unless changed should be the last 4 digits of your mobile number. If you need more assistance give customer service a call.

How do I port my Verizon Prepaid number to a new Verizon contract?

Right now I have the $35 prepaid plan and I'd like to update to a Maxx HD, which is up on Amazon for $20 with a new contract. However, the Amazon page is telling me that my number is not transferable. I don't know what to do here, can someone help?

I am considering a new post pay account, that was exactly the point of my original post. As I said before, i went to amazon.com, selected a phone, selected a new verizon plan, and put in my current number for a port request (which is with verizon prepaid). Amazon's website informed me that my number cannot be ported, and I don't understand why. So, to recap:
What I have:
>a prepaid phone with verizon
>a number that I want to keep
What I want:
>a postpaid account with verizon
>a razr maxx hd
>my phone number
My question:
Why is amazon telling me that my number cannot be ported, when I am going from one plan to another on the same carrier?

How to keep the Unlimited verizon data plan when upgrading to iphone 4s?

How can I keep my unlimited data plan when upgrading to a IPHONE 4s???
I tried everything!!! I have an apple giftcard so I want to use it through apple.com but It wont let me keep my unlimited data plan

The terms of your data/phone plan are solely determined by your carrier, in this case Verizon. It is up to them if they wish to allow consumers to carry over the existing terms of their plan. Hence, the thing you need to do is contact Verizon customer service and ask them to carry your terms over with your upgrade. I'm hoping if you ask nicely they may do it.
Hope this helps

HT201320 How do I delete the unread message number when I have no unread messages in my inbox?

I have a number attached to my mail folder which is 978unread messages, but I can't find any unread messages. How do I get rid of this number. Also I have over 1000 flagged messages but I have none. How do I delete these numbers.

In Mail Preferences/Accounts/each GMail account, set up the SMTP Outgoing Server for each account separately, going into SMTP name/edit/Advanced and specify the Username of each account. The Outgoing servers must be two different servers, authenticated by the Username and Password of each.
Otherwise, the GMail SMTP server will change the from address to that of the account where the SMTP server was setup.

How to display only contact containing a number when accessing from phone

Many of the contact in the address book, contain e-mail only data. These are very useful for mail but are distracting when you launch the address book to call someone. Is there a way to show only names that actually have a phone number, when you open the contacts from the Phone app.

Not that I'm aware of.

How to disconnect iPad from verizon phone number

I gave my old iPad to my son and would like to disconnect it from the verizon number it is associated with, so that he only uses wireless. How do I do this? Thanks!

1. If the iPad has a cell module, you'll first need to disconnect the cellular service through Verizon. Second, be sure Cellular Data is disabled on the iPad. Then disassociate other services (such as those below).
2. If the phone number is associated with the iPad only for FaceTime and iMessaging:
Settings - for each of the following, be sure your phone number is no longer populated:
Phone - "My Number" should be blank (or not available, depending on iPad model)
Messages
If he won't be using iMessaging turn the option 'OFF'.
If he'll be using iMessaging, turn this option 'ON', then
Scroll down to 'Send & Receive' and touch the field:
Your phone number should not be included. If it is, UNcheck the field
You should have an option of using an Apple ID or another email address - enter the information you wish to have the iPad use to send & receive iMessages
FaceTimeUse the same guidelines as above, for iMessaging
3. If your son will use his own Apple ID on the iPad, be sure to decide whether or not to change settings for Find My Phone (iPad). If you change the settings for this feature, you'll need to log onto www.icloud.com with your Apple ID and disassociate the iPad from your iCloud account.
Hope this helps!
