You can't hide from the bill, so my recommendation is to clean up your
act and pray your boyfriend still likes you.

Cant be done, and even if you hide the paper bill it can still be scene
on line.

No, there's not. Now, go tell the parents to play nice or you'll send
them to their rooms without supper.

There are workarounds.
1: if you have your own landline at home, you could forward calls to your
boyfriend. Many landline phones can be set up for "Selective Call
Forwarding," so whenever YOUR cell phone calls the number, it gets forwarded
to the boyfriend, while other incoming calls ring on the landline as per
normal. Of course, there are monthly charges for this service, but it is
only a couple of dollars. Your cell bill will show that you called your
landline number--it will not show that your landline forwarded the call to
another location.
2: You can talk to anyone for free using your computer (you have to be at
home or have wireless internet access to do this). Microsoft Messenger is
one free program that you can use to do this--but you both have to be at
your computers and have Internet access, in order to make the connection.
3: You could get another cell phone, billed separately so your parents can't
get to see your calls. Again, that costs money.
4: You might find it less frustrating to trade in your boyfriend for another
model . . . :-)

All true, of course. But the point of doing any of this would be
predicated on allowing the parental units to continue their
inappropriate behavior, or whatever it is that makes their kids ask
these sort of questions. In my world, for me to do anything that
furthers someone else's inappropriate behavior is unacceptable.
Naturally, the choice is theirs rather than mine.

Just be aware that this will most likely cause the calls to be billed as
regular airtime. If the couple both have Cingular phones, this method
will NOT allow them to have the calls billed as mobile to mobile.
In addition, the caller ID info from the called party MAY still pass
through to the receiving end and wind up on the bill as a received call.

You're correct--I was not thinking about free M2M, but rather for some way
to connect without the called number appearing on the calling party's bill.

That is certainly true. I was under the impression that the OP wanted to
have no record of the dialed number to appear on HER bill. If the intention
was to block the call information on BOTH bills, then my suggestion will not
work. If I understood her post correctly, Mama and Poppa aren't too keen on
her having contact with her boyfriend, and it is HER bill that she wants to
protect. Of course, if the boyfreind calls HER, then she's going to be
"SOL."

They might have a family plan where the parents pay the bills.
