Is there any way to mask incoming calls or outgoing calls for a specific number on a T-Mobile phone bill? I ask because of a very complicated situation between my girlfriend's parents and I. Essentially, I want to be able to call my girlfriend without them knowing. :X
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

outgoing calls no. but you can block the incoming calls by blocking your number before you call her. Or she can call and request to have itemized billing removed from her account
*Note- by removing itemized billing the change will not be effective until the next bill cycle.

Thanks for the response, but I have another question: How do I block my incoming call on her phone?
*EDIT* Is it *67, as per a "normal" house phone? And, if I do use this, it will NOT show up on her bill at all, or will it say "Private Caller" with the mins used?

best way is to block from your phones. menu>settings>In Call Setup> My caller id>Next call only>hide id
Or yeah *67 will work.

Hey, sorry for keeping this going...but I need more help. You say you can't stop outgoing calls from showing up on the bill, but then you say I can block incoming ones by blocking my number before I call her?? So is the method you posted in the response above this one is the method I would use to call her so that the call wouldn't show up on HER bill?
Thanks again!

Yes this is the method you are to use to call her to make sure that it doesnt show up on the bill, I prefer the Hide ID method. Will show up blocked number/name on her phone and on her bill.

Oh, so you can't erase it completely then?? Will it still show the minutes we talked and everything? They might know it's me if it says blocked number and for xx minutes.
Anyways, it's better than nothing; thank you so much!

Cannot erase it completely unless she cancels itemized billing. but again change wont take effect until next bill cycle.

I am in the same situation with my boyfriend. I am an adult, but still financially dependent upon my parents due to college. We've been using the blocked call method for around a year now. My parents just switched cell phone plans, and never brought up anything about blocked calls appearing on the previous bills. We're on a shared/family plan. How do I know if my parents' billing is itemized? I only accept blocked calls from my boyfriend during unlimited hours on evenings and weekends. I was hoping that calls during unlimited hours didn't show up. Is this true?
(I apologize, but I think I posted this in the wrong section since I use LG/Alltel.)

Calls during anytime will show up on a bill unfortunatly. Billing is automatically itemized when an account is started so unless someone calls to change that it will always be itemized.
