Found this weird app on my phone (CQATest). I went into it and found a Sim menu where it says my phone iccid doesn't match my phone iccid. i was under the impression that the phones do not have iccid numbers. i thought that iccid was sim only? anyone have any idea what this is?
I'm trying to find an answer to this too. I have a MOTO G though, but same applies as what op said.
Trouble is, because of this paypal app does not work.
This is because i ported my number to another provider and the temporary number is stored in phone settings (about page).
How do I fix this?

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
Hey Guys, Need a little help!
Ok, I bought a G1 from eBay (I know I know bit risky!). Recieved it today, put in my Sim card (Orange UK), and it's opened up into the setup (login to gmail blah blah time settings), got into the phone mode, but it's not picking up any network on my SIM card
I can get internet (After inputting the APN settings..)
I have looked on the "About" status, and noticed the telephone number is: 07********58622#
I don't know where the 622# is coming from, because it isn't my phone number!
I go to the Network Selection, Choose Orange, and it says "Your SIM card does not allow a connection to this network"
Any idea's?
when you call your number does your phone ring? and can you place calls with your real number showing up? if yes then i see no problem
Nope, I can't ring out, and I can't recieve incoming calls.
That number is on your sim card, not the phone. It shouldn't effect service though. Infact Mine was 00000000000 until a few months ago when some app wouldn't work because that number wasn't correct. Call TMo and say "google phone" when you get someone tell them you need your sim card updated.
Hi, thanks for that information, bit I have tried it in another g1 and everything worked as normal. Guess it's a hardware fault or a IMEI block
I have the same problem, and I don´t find de answer
I purchased my X1a on eBay more than a year ago from a Californian who claimed the phone was unlocked. I turned to Canada's Rogers for a GSM SIM, and it has worked beautifully since, ... except that Rogers' coverage is darn bad here in Newfoundland. Sick of it, finally I gave Rogers notice because Telsus looked up its ESN and claimed they'd be able to support it on their HSPA network.
However, come today ... Telus installs their SIM, and the ESN is rejected. The guy behind the desk makes a call, and Telus central states that the only reason can be that the phone is still locked(?) Is it possible that it could have been locked to ATT and it just happens to work with Rogers? The phone doesn't have any thing on it to imply it once belonged to any US carrier.
Please advise ...
TIA & cheerios from the Avalon Peninsula
Has Telus completely made the switch to GSM yet? I'm from the US, so sorry for my partial ignorance If they're still in the works, from what you said they're using ESN (which is a CDMA serial number); the Xperia doesn't have an ESN, it only has an IMEI (GSM standard).
One major reason it might not work is because each type of serial number has a different amount of numbers in them. ESN DEC (or MEID DEC) uses 18 numbers, ESN HEX (or MEID HEX) uses 14 letters and numbrs, and IMEI uses 18 numbers. ESN and IMEI are incompatible, while DEC and HEX are interchangable, since they're both CDMA standard. Maybe mention this to them and it'll jog their memories, and give you more specific information

Thanx for your response
The Telus guy I first talked with took the battery out and looked up the # in their database and stated it would work. Today's Telus guy used the Xperia's OS to find the # indicated. The number, referred to by the OS as IMEI, actually has 15 numbers in it. The only difference from what's reported behind the battery is 35774202-003213-8(?)

The serial number printed on the phones will occasionally have dashes or spaces interspaced in the numbers, because it makes it easier to input than having a long string of numbers.
So, they confirmed the IMEI, and yet it still doesn't work? And it worked for a Roger's SIM just recently... I could see an issue activating the phone on a new account, because their system won't have the X1 in it, but that shouldn't stop the SIM from reading. Hell, AT&T has no idea what the X1 is, and my account says I'm using a Motorola flip phone XD But the SIM works wonderfully. Assuming it's a brand-new account, see if they can enter a different IMEI in their system to start with (here in the States, I'd say you should just get a free subsidized phone from them, but put the SIM in the X1)? If the SIM is rejected, it can mean it isn't activated... so it could be just the initial set-up IMEI. Sorry if that was a little confusing, I had random ideas popping up everywhere
Well, that was my only guess. If that doesn't work, I'm stumped

You should be confused!
I printed your 1st response and thought I'd swing by the Telus store on my way home. As it turned out, another Telus store was closer and was not affiliated with the previous. I told the woman my story, showed her your message ... and then she immediately took the SIM out of her phone and put it mine ... fired it up, and then reports "It works OK with my SIM(?)"
The previous Telus store had given me the SIM originally tried, so this woman puts it in and reports "It works OK with your SIM(?)" ... and then proceeds to sell me my month-to-month plan.
The moral ... well, I don't know what to make of it, except to believe that the 1st Telus store did not really need to check with Telus central (or their affiliated central) to see if my SIM would work. IE, it simply works! ... go figure ...
Thanx 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!
I just purchased a used H811 Tmobile LG G4. Popped in a Tmobile SIM and it's working fine.
However, to my great surprise, the IMEI number displayed from Settings or by dialing *#06# does not match the one printed on the label behind the battery.
Tmobile rep actually said that this might be due to CDMA support on G4, which requires a different IMEI.
I am not so sure this makes sense.
Does anyone's IMEI number not match like mine?
Thanks in advance.
Can't check right now but I believe the one in software is the one that cell companies see and block if needed. The printed one is for hardware repairs and such. Though they should be the same number. I'll check later and report back.
Phone was blacklisted and someone changed imei so it would work. Both numbers should match unless the phone has been tampered with. Sorry
