Hello there! That’s a fantastic question. When a text or call cannot be caught, any 999-999-9999 will show. This number could have been a shortcode or a number greater than 10-digits in your situation, as these are text messages (such as an automated text). I hope this information is useful.
What does a 99999 call entail?
Generally, if the caller ID is blocked on the caller’s end, their number will not appear. It would appear as an unavailable or restricted number on your phone. Three thumbs up. The answer is correct! Re: On one of my phones, I have a number – 999-999-9999 – that is showing up as an incoming call.
Is it possible to conceal phone numbers on your Verizon bill?
On a call-by-call basis, the vertical service code *67 masks your number from your recipient’s phone bill for your outgoing calls. Removing incoming phone numbers from your bill necessitates collaboration with callers. To block caller ID, they must dial *67 every time they dial your phone number.
Despite the fact that *67 keeps your phone number hidden from the person you’re contacting, it will still appear on the bill for the phone that made the call (Unfortunately, your phone provider will show the call on your bill when you make *67 code calls.)
Furthermore, repeatedly activating caller id blocking can be inconvenient. You can make all of your outbound calls private by changing your phone settings. Instead of your phone number, everyone will see “private number.”
The customer support center for your cell operator may be able to implement a caller ID block for the calls you make. They can’t do that for incoming calls, though. You can only request that the other party follow suit.
What does a text message from the number 6245 mean?
Don’t be frightened if you receive text messages from 6245; it’s just a generic number that appears on cell phones when you receive a text message, AIM message, or email that came from the internet. You may find more information about it here:
Calls that appear in the unbilled use as “999-999-9999” are also mentioned in your post.
When an incoming phone number’s Caller ID cannot be collected inside the applicable Verizon Wireless billing systems within the current billing cycle and the call has not been billed yet, the 999-999-9999 number shows. This can occur if the caller’s Caller ID was not transmitted at the time of the call, or if the caller’s service provider did not supply us with the number calling you. Furthermore, the caller may have activated “*67” to prevent his or her number from displaying on your Caller ID.
Please be advised that unless the number was purposely prevented from appearing on your Caller ID, you will be able to identify the real number that phoned you after your next billing account is received. If this is the case, the call will display in the call detail section of your account as “unavailable.”
As a result, while seeing unbilled usage, or usage that has not been processed through our billing system, calls with no Caller ID information will appear as “999-999-9999,” and when the bill prints, these calls will appear as “Unavailable.”
What is a fictitious number?
The process of misrepresenting information about an incoming call on the receiver’s caller ID display is known as caller ID spoofing. Scammers will alter the caller ID to make it look as if the call is coming from a local or well-known phone number, increasing the likelihood that it will be trusted and answered.
If you respond, the scammer may attempt to steal your money or personal information through social engineering techniques. These methods can range from asking you to press a button on your phone to more serious requests like asking for your Social Security information. While the latter may appear to be easily prevented, scammers’ tactics might be so subtle or deceptive that people do not question their authenticity or authority.
Given the increased popularity of robocalls, telemarketers and scammers alike appear to be getting better at spoofing. Individuals must instead learn to recognize and avoid self-spoofing caller ID. This could be the most secure method of safeguarding your sensitive information.
How can I send a text message to someone without it appearing on my bill?
CoverMe is a private texting app that encrypts text so that users can send private text messages without fear of them being revealed or distributed.

Using a CoverMe number for private texting is completely anonymous. Your phone bill will not show the secret text sent with CoverMe. You won’t have to be concerned about your phone bill being scrutinized. CoverMe is also a private texting app with end-to-end encryption. Regular text messages are sent through unprotected phone networks, and they might be intercepted without your knowledge. Private text messages between CoverMe users are very secure and protected from hackers thanks to the high level of encryption.

What’s the best way to figure out who owns a shortcode?
The U.S. Short Code Directory is the best place to go if you want to find out who owns a short code or if one is available. You can use this database to look up certain short codes to check when they were last registered and who registered them.
Consider the above example of “515151.” This short code was last registered on 9/17/2014 by KTLA-TV, according to the database. Although it is possible that it will not be available, the database will give you with similar short codes as well as their registration dates.
