There was a code for an old Nokia that i had 3110...
The code for hiding out going calls on my t68i is #31#, so there must be one for sms??????

#31# is a generic GSM code, it doesn't just work for Nokia. It doesn't actually hide your number to the network, just informs the network that you are hiding your CallerID for privacy (they still know you called the number, for billing and policing).
SMS does not have the same facility, it doesn't use the same CallerID facility as a voice call. Your number is sent to the SMSC and it is used to show the receiver who the sender is, the SMSC will not hide the number from your phone to reduce the threat of nusience texts (especially considering how many texts are sent every hour).
Why do you want to hide your number? For hoax and abusive texts or sinister threats and blackmail??? If you use a SMSC connected from your computer, you can send text that does not contain your telephone number (try one of the services on the internet).
