Dial Prefix, or copy paste from text

[meyersdvm]

I get phone numbers sent via text messages. I need to dial *67 to keep my number private when calling clients. On my BB I would copy and paste from the text and then add the *67 prefix. On the Hero, I can't edit the number once on the dial page. I have tried to copy/paste with the *67 sent in the text, but the Hero doesn't recognize the * as part of the number and only copies the 67 part of the prefix.
What apps or workarounds do I have?
We don't want to block our caller id completely, only as needed.

Thanks for any suggestions. I want to love my Hero, I just have to figure this important function out.
