How to Send a Text From One Phone That Looks Like It Was Sent From Another Phone
When you send a text message that looks like it came from a phone number other than yours, it is known as SMS spoofing. Unless you have an iPhone running the SMS Veil app, it is impossible to send an anonymous text from your cell phone. You can, though, easily send anonymous texts from a website designed to keep your identity protected.

Tips & Warnings
The recipient will have no idea whom the text message came from unless you entered a return phone number or email address. The recipient can block receipt of any further anonymous text messages, so you may only be able to do this once.
While SMS spoofing can be fun, do not use these services to impersonate another person without her permission.
