How private is the kik app on iPhone?

I want to text with this girl via SMS I'm afraid that my parents will find out because all the texts and phone calls go to the bill right? So I downloaded the kik app And I'm ready to text this girl! But I'm afraid that they'll still see her number in the phone bill! How private is the kik app?

It's pretty private. It shouldn't show up and you can turn off the notifications so that if your phone is asleep, they won't show up

Her number won't show up

I LOVE kik, it is a nice way to chat! It is really private, only thing it shows is your display name. However i do find i have people added on my list that i didn't add, when someone finds you they can automatically message you, which i had a few times. However you CAN block these people if you don't know them or want to talk to them by going to the gear, privacy, then block. Then you find the name click and block.

Nothing is going to show in the bill because the method of delivering messages in kik is via the Internet, unlike the regular SMS's which go through the operator's gateway provider and therefore show in the bill.
