If you are sending SMS messages via a GSM modem interface, then it is not possible to hide or change the sender phone number.

This is not a limitation of NowSMS ... this is a limitation of sending SMS via a GSM modem ... there is no place in this protocol to insert a sender phone number. The sender phone number is automatically inserted by the mobile operator when it receives the request from the modem to send an SMS message.

If you are using an SMSC interface other than a GSM modem, then you can insert a "&Sender=xxxxxx" parameter to specify what sender address should be applied to the message. (This requires that your SMS provider supports this ability ... your provider may limit what sender addresses can be used by your account.)
