Hi all,
I have had a google nexus one since it was first launched and I am loving it to bits, however, it has never displayed the correct phone number of my sim card. I have no idea why and I have done everything, inc resetting device. When I call another phone that displays the correct number so I am at a loss at the moment
Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution?
Now running andro
id 2.2 and this has not resolved this issue. I am on 3uk network.
Thanks in advance
same here, on stock froyo
The phone number is stored on the SIM card. There are no menus within Android to change it. Hunt for an old Sony Ericsson phone (eg K800i), stick your SIM in it and that should have a menu option to edit your phone number.
Unfortunatly I have no other phones to do this so I will leave it. It does not cause me any problems to be honest... Just more of an irritation.
Thanks anyway... I think I can live with it
You could replace the SIM card with a new one from your provider.
search for 'me in message app' or 'me in messaging app' I forget what the topic is called.
All solutions are in there...

3 network recently prevented me using my payg sim so I switched to O2 and transferred my old phone number. But the phone still displays the number which came with the O2 sim card. Is this hard wired into the sim card or is there any way I can change it through the registry, or whatever?
Any help appreciated
What do you mean by "The phone still displays the phone number which came with your O2 SIM card" ???
Where does the phone display it? Make a screenshot but xxx out your phone number for privacy reasons!
Isn't the Phone Number set in Settings, "Owner Information"?

Mine does exactly the same, if you go to Sim Manager it displays the original sim number and not my tranfered one. No great shake though, unless you dont know your own number.
But just found that you can change this.. In Sim Manager go to Menu_Tools_List of Own Numbers, then edit voice line 1.. Job done.

That information you can edit yourself. I am not surebut I do believe it is somewhere under SETTINGS -> PHONE ...

Most cool. Did that restarted, after removing sim + battery, and voila it worked. Never noticed 'Sim Manager' before. You would have thought that Settings the more appropriate place for it
Most obliged - I like to be tidy/organised Knew this was the place to ask
At first I opened thread a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4468480) regarding not getting prompt for a sim unlock code using a gophone sim. I got around that by trying another (international) sim I had laying around, so was able to then use an unlock code to unlock my phone.
At this point, though, I am still stuck, as I am not able to connect to the AT&T network using a gophone sim.
sim works fine in a different phone
The ROMS I have used:
"The HTC ADP 1.5 CRC1 ROM" from
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=538456
cyanogenmod 4.0.4
To note, no APNs show under settings>wireless controls>Mobile Networks>Network>Access point names when I put non-tmobile sims in. When I add one, it still does not show up on the list. I have also tried clearing the data partition and tried setting up an APN during the setup procedure - no dice - the APN I just edited and saved does not show up.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
I can say I don't got any, other than it don't like your go phone, I am afraid that if you get it working at this point, it might go kaboom in spite.
Those g1s are some finiky creatures, beware they attack if startled
FIXED!!!!
I dont know if this is new for gophone or anything .... but apparently "new" gophone accounts are tied to the IMEI number that you first start your account with. At least this is what they told me when I called into the gophone service center.
Anyway... I worked with a tech who seemed quite knowledgeable. I convinced her to change to IMEI number linked to my account and change it to the G1's IMEI (to note - I honestly answered every question asked of me, such as the phone being an unlocked G1 I bought on ebay). At first it did not take - I waited an hour to see if maybe it was something that just needed to propagate thorough AT&T's network. The tech called me back. Because it did not work, she changed it back to the original phone on the account. I then asked her to please change it back to the G1's IMEI and please just leave it - I would wait a day to see if that helped any. She changed it back to the G1's IMEI and then I told her I would continue to play with the phone. Right after our call ended, my phone all of a sudden connected to AT&T's network.
I hope that this helps someone out. I know that I am happy as I can finally get playing around with this thing.
Thanks to those who offered advise.
Hey I'm having a very similar problem with my Dell Streak 5 and my GoPhone SIM card, I've even gone through the IMEI process with support from AT&T and I guess they successfully changed the IMEI linked to my SIM card to that of my new Dell Streak 5 but it's been 4+ hours and it's hasn't been "updated" in their system. Though the IMEI is now correctly linked to my Dell Streak 5 I still get no service and cannot connect to any network. I'm stumped!
Hi all, first time posting on the site, been browsing for ages, anyway, just managed to put android on my HTC HD2, replacing windows, works a charm thanks to the posts on this website.
Just abit stuck, cant find anywhere on the phone that I can change my mobile number, I migrated my phone number onto a different sim card as I lost my phone, so when I view the ME button in a text or call I make, its coming up with the sim card phone number and not my phone number, anyone else found this issue

Can anyone answer this? I don't have a problem right now. I'm just interested in learning how this works.
On my Note, the number shown in Messaging > Settings > Message Centre is +6596197777 which is the correct number for Singapore where I live.
However, the number shown by the code string *#*#4636#*#* > Phone Information > SMSC: > Refresh is "06915669917777".
Why are these two numbers different? Is the second one a different format?
Why I'm Asking
I came across a number of posts on various forums describing problems with sending sms (while still being able to receive) and I had this problem myself for a while.
1. Many posts said that the way to fix this problem was to get into the testing menu with *#*#4636#*#* and input the number in the SMSC: field and hit the "Update" button.
2. However, when I tried entering +6596197777, it returned "Update Error"
3. If I leave the field blank (it's always blank by default), and hit Refresh then
"06915669917777" appears.
4. I was able to send sms messages successfully with this number BUT WITH NO number entered in the Messaging > Settings > Message Centre.
5. I assumed (probably wrongly) that the Message Centre number was embedded on the SIM card when supplied by the telco.
Thanks in advance for any help with how this works.

i had similar problem with miui on my samsung s2, for me helped like this: put another sim card, send sms and than put back that main sim card. Maybe it will help
Hello sacentre,
I had a similar experience with my x10 when i updated to gingerbread 2.3.3. I tried messing with the settings, and after a lot of factory resets and google search, only one thing solved it. I can't guarantee if this will work for you, but here it goes.
1. Go to your local ISP and ask them to replace your SIM with a new one. (the reason behind this is that there might be an issue with old SIM cards, even if they are only a few months old) In most countries they allow you to keep the same number.
2. Power down phone and remove the old SIM card.
3. Power on the phone without the SIM card.
4. Power off phone.
5. Power it on with the new SIM card inserted.
The above did the job for me. If all else fails, factory reset.
Hi, thanks for the replies.
It's one of those things where the picture gradually evolves over time and is far more complicated than I'd thought (no surprise really). It's interesting though. As I said at the start of the thread, I can send sms correctly but I'd like to know more about how the software/firmware works and what these damn numbers mean.
The trick of putting the SIM card into another phone and attempting to enter the Message Centre number there was suggested a couple of times on the forums.
When I took the phone to my telco, that's the first thing they tried after I asked them to check and/or replace the SIM card. This confirmed my assumptions that
1. the number is embedded on the SIM card by the telco when supplied with the mobile contract.
2. the phone reads the number from the SIM card and the number should appear in the SMSC: field in the Testing menu when the Refresh button is hit. This doesn't happen. Even when I tried it the first time, all I was getting was "00" but later the different number as I describe above appeared. It works however but I still want to know why the number is different from the one in the Messaging app.
The staff at my telco had no knowledge of the Testing menu and emphatically claimed it was a third party app I'd installed illegally until I got one of them to key in the code on their own phone and see the menu for themselves!
Neither they nor I noticed that the phone's Messaging app did not have any Message Centre number entered at the time. I was still able to send sms with no number entered.
I learn a little more each day thanks to contributors on these forums. Thanks again.

dont ask me why, and its slightly embarrassing, too, but on my sim the "own phonenumber" is set to the number of my gf.
well i know the own phonenumber is stored on the sim, and theres no way in stock LG skin to change that, but is there an app out there or another possibility other than putting my sim card into a different phone to change my own number?
i changed the sim, the new one showed "undefined", and after putting in the old one it was still the wrong number
I actually looked this up for my previous phone a while back. Only thing I found was, put your sim on a very old phone, change own number from there... and pop it back into your phone.
Android seems to not be able to change the own number on the sim.. not sure why!
