    No, they can still see your number. You need a special app to block your number when texting to prevent the number from being shown to others.

    If you have an iPhone you should be able to go into the settings and turn off caller ID so when you call or text there should not be anything there.

    Just make sure they don't have your number saved and then turn off Caller ID in Settings > click on the green Phone icon when you scroll down > Show My Caller ID > Off.
