    I hate the callback number. I don't like the fact that when I send a text to a friend, at the bottom of the message is my callback. I know about the temporary fix, but I want a permanent one. I don't text people who don't know me, so they already have my number...it just seems kind of stupid.

    Ahhh, the dreaded callback number.

    Ask your friends to turn it off. It can be found in their settings usually. Sometimes SMS settings.

    To turn yours off, go to Options > SMS > erase the callback number > Save.

    If you pull your battery or reboot your phone, it will come back, just manually delete it again. It's a pain, but you can correct it.

    So there is no permanent fix for my callback number? That is insane! How could such a simple step be overlooked by BB?

    Ok well thanks for your help anyway lol I am in total shock that there is no fix for this. This is the first phone I've ever had without that ability. Maybe I should send an email to RIM asking them to include a fix in the next update lol
