Don't underline number in messages

If in the body of a (text)message a number is displayed, it is underlined and you can click it. A pop-up comes and ask if the number is correct and you can dial that number. Is there a way to turn this feature of or limit it to SMS messages only?

[Q]Forward select numbers to Google Voice.

Is there a way to choose a contact that whenever they call it is forwarded to my google voice number.
IE: this company somehow got a hold of my cell phone number(unfortunately not my GV number) and calls me about 3-4 times a week. They don't leave a message or anything. So i am looking for a way to be able to forward this contact to my GV number with the "this number has been disconnected" message.
any ideas?
Thanks.

this is how I've done it:
Set GV as your voicemail, then add the contact with the "send to voicemail" option on your phone (view contact, menu > options and check the send to voicemail box) and of course mark the number as spam on GV. works for me just fine.
otherwise, get a blacklist application. don't always work but they are nice in most cases.

[Q] Number in Text field?

When I'm texting someone, i sometimes get their phone number at the top of the text field and by their name in their text bubble. It's not with every contact either. I thought maybe it was because they have multiple numbers attached to the contact but even ones that have just one number so it. i dont want it to show it at all. any ideas?

it shows up if you have an email address for them too. if all you have for that contact is a mobile number you may want to go into your contacts & see if they were linked to anything else

Go sms pro private box: not working cause of the +1 area code

Dear all,
I am having some big trouble with go sms pro private box. I have the paid version. I added from my contacts all the contacts that I want to be private. It happened that when some of those contacts text me the message and notification are correctly private, while for others they are received in the normal folder (and have a standard notification). I double checked and the contact name and number were correctly displayed on the list of private contacts but the text appears in the normal received text message list. Only one slight difference: the number saved in the contact list is always different from the number on the received text underneath the name, and the difference is related to the international american area code. I was not able to figure out exactly which is the problem but basically sometimes I receive messages with the right name but the number (lets say 999-999-9999) shows up as any of these three
999-999-9999
1999-999-9999
+1999-999-9999
So basically if I save my number as 999-999-9999 sometimes I dont get it on the private box and it shows up with the rite name and with 1999-999-9999 or +1999-999-9999. Very wierd. And things got more complicated: I did a trial with my roomie: if I save his number as 999-999-9999 his texts do not go into the private box, and they show up with his name and 1-999-999-9999 underneath it. If I save instead my roommate number in my contacts as +1999-999-9999, in that case his text shows correctly up in the private box but with NO NAME on it!! So I cant do this since I have no clue who is texting me and I have to search everytime who that text refers to. I am driving crazy. Nobody had experience with this?
Thanks

Messager's name not displayed even when sender is entered as contact.

Why do some messages not have contacts' names on them, just phone number that they were sent from, even though they are entered as contacts?
