If I set my Nokia 6400 to "Send my caller ID = No", when I send a text
message can he reply to my message without seeing my phone number?

I'm on T-Mobile in USA. He's using a Blackberry (I don't know what service
he's on) in USA.

Thanks.

No. The caller ID setting is for phone calls only.

Get a phone that does e-mail instead of just texting and use any
throwaway address you want.

That setting only applies to voice calls. Your number will always be
sent out with any text messages you send.
