Text Question for you WP8 Wizards

[stmav]

Guy I work with has a 920 and wants to know if there is a way to not have text messages show up in the band at the top of the screen. Thanks.

No, its part of the WP

Here's another thread on this subject:

Some people took the "What are you trying to hide?" position which I personally think it's absurd. Ideally one would have the option to disable that text banner.
