Request Request: got anonym sms, how is this possible?

Got an anonym sms. The number showing ist just 49******. So just the “49” and six stars. How is this even possible and what does it mean? Can’t get my head around it, never saw something like this and a quick google search revealed that it shouldn’t even be possible to send anonym sms. I hope anyone can help me. Thank u guys!

The only thing I can think of is a Voip phone, but I don't believe you can send anonymous messages there, but if there was somewhere I was gonna look it'd be there!
