There are NO address type flags for the originating number in the short message
header. All you can set is the receipient number and recipient number type.
AFAIK the only possibility do change the originating number (to the arbitrary)
text is to do it in SMSC. There are 2 ways that your operator may provide:
 - basing on your MSISDN number
 - basing on the message text
You will have to pay for both services probably. There may exist some public
gateways for such services in the serveral countries.
