In settings I Cant See My Phone Number!.. I Dont Know Why!! Can some One Help Me With This!!
But you can make and receive calls? Did you try using the dialer shortcuts to get to hidden phone status and network info?
Post a screen shot of your About Phone page from the phone Settings if you don't mind.
mine is also like this, and it was like that on my old htc magic too. it doesnt stop any functionality but it is odd.
just create a contact called me with your number.

But It Didnt Work!
Mines been like this since day one. Made me have to remember my number right away. I always thought it was odd too. Also, is it normal for your voicemail number to be different? I also get calls from tmobile asking for whom I assume to have my number before
Oops, didn't see what forum I was in. maybe someone still knows.

In my case, the number shows up in My phone number when i use a T-Mobile SIM...
When i use a Vodafone SIM there is no number (as mentioned in the OP)...
My Handset is original Unlocked - CSC : I9100XEUKD1
Find an old skool phone (Sony Ericsson K800) this should have a menu for your own mobile number, enter it here. This will save your number directly to your SIM and it will appear on your SGS2.

Hey man i dont think your imei no would have changed unless you have been doing something naughty
to the network issue you have you should try flashing the csc for your county, you can find them in the dev section. the csc holds carrier information and details for mms and keyboard languages and such.
when i flash my csc for the uk when my phone reboots i will get a pop up menu that will let me select my vodafone contract as my network.
Hey Crucio,
Nothing naughtier than flashing a custom rom
I have flashed the indian rom version as thats where i am. flashed the csc also that came with the stock but imei doesnt change back. Request some more information on how to change the imei or reset the phone so i can work. Holding the phone of my dreams in my hand and not able to do anything with it.
Regards,
Vijay.
Hi, I have the same problem. It is like that when you get duplicate of your sim or replacement sim. Confirmed with my network.
My sim is not a duplicate or replacement. It is working on my N8 and in another Galaxy S. Not working on my Galaxy S2.
No number in my settings either. Would of been nice to have it showing up.

I have the Korean version of SGS2. I can make phone calls, receive phone calls, connect via mobile internet and receive SMS but I can't send SMS. Will changing my ROM allow me to send SMS?
The service provider I'm using has the following bands
Service Provider GSM Frequency Band 3G Standard 3G Frequency Band
Globe Telecom 900 MHz/1800 MHz W-CDMA (UMTS) 2100 MHz
Thanks!
The M250S uses a different messaging standard from what i've heard. You can try changing ROM and see if that helps, if not then there's probably nothing much you can do unfortunately.
What ROM would you recommend for M250S?
The usual reason why MMS will not send is no details or wrong details for the Message Centre Number incorrect for network .

That is a possibility although I can't find a way to change this on the Galaxy S2.
Another possibility is the "unknown" label in the Settings>About Phone>My Phone Number section but I can't find any way to change it.
Got it! It was fixed by changing the My Phone Number in the SIM card which was done via CM (on my nexus s).
Thanks for your help guys!
P.S. Is there a way to close this topic?
More details please I have the same problem!
Hello all and please help,
I have the same situation with my korean SKT carrier phone m250s which I am using in South Korea. Every time I root my phone, I lose the capability to send and receive mms messages. Can someone please elaborate on how to fix this problem? It seems like there is an answer here already, but I'm not sure how to proceed and what exactly to change.
Much thanks

Are you able to view SMS messages that are in Korean? If so, could you tell me what ROM you're on?
Most recently, I rooted the phone with the red pill kernel and flashed litening rom 1.1 ics. Again the same issue arose. SMS worked fine, but for mms, it would say download, I'd press on it and nothing would happen. Installing and running handscent took care of this problem, but I still get the stock ssm/mms message that says download and it doesn't work!
I'm wondering if skt has fixed it so that when a non-stock firmware / kernel is detected, they disable mms, or imei file is changed.
But to answer your question, yes, I can receive and send files in Korean.
U should stay stock... Only one option use thirdparty apps like GO Sms Pro or so...

SGS2 saying unknown number in Status My Phone Number.How to fix it? I am able to make calls and receive calls.
Insert your sim card into a dumb phone that has the option of setting your own phone number and then put it back in the SII. It will show the number you have set

I have only 3 other phones other than SGS2.Nokia N900,Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and Samsung SGH-J800
Then check if any of them supports that option. Android can't detect sim number by default.

and One more Question SGS2 shows once every 1-4hrs saying Refreshing Sim (Only with Vodafone when I use my different Sim it says nothing)
Can any one Help with my 2/1 questions
Never encountered this sim refreshing on my device, most likely a faulty sim card. As to your first question, i don't really know how can someone in here help you more than providing the right info. I told you what you need to do. Just get/borrow a phone which has this option , set your number and it will work. Guess no one in here could give you a phone, so you have to look for it in real life.

Thanks Just now remembered Samsung SGH-J800 have that feature and checked closely and it was there.Changed sim and entered number...I think that sim Refreshing might be because of unknown number
Nope, been using my phone for 2 months before setting the number, not even once have i seen sim refreshing.

You can change phone number in sim card details using cyanogenmod, in dialer settings menu.
Hey guys,
After switching to Giffgaff, my phone number says unknown in 'about phone'
How can I fix this?
Although not important, as everything works as it should - its just very annoying to see 'unknown'
Mine also says this, but functions perfectly well. I'm on Vodafone.
I'm not particular bothered so never posted about it, but if there is a solution, I wouldn't say no.
Giffgaff is unknown as it has no CSC entries is my guess .
Does not even work with a O2 CSC .

fyi my phone number is unknown. Its been like this since last phone. I think thats normal.....

The orange sim I came from displayed my phone number perfectly.
I wonder if pulsar knows a fix, he's a giffgaffer aswell. Hmm
put your sim card in a phone like something old i did it in a samsung tocco and you can edit the sim card number put it back in your sgs2 and it will appear then, it worked for me.
Neither does mine but i cant say it's ever bothered me although my Irish number does show.
screenshot of my Giff Gaff
I've never had the phone number in "about phone", so for me it isn't a problem, but i'd be curious to know why.
Operator H3g Italy
Likewise but not an issue as it's in my head.

Try this
Go to contacts, then contacts at the top of the slide bar, then push the menu key.
You will now see options. Go to my profile, put you mobile number there etc. It should now show after a reboot.

Thanks, but didn't work.
Still shows as unknown.
I have a feeling this might be network dependent. Mine's never been displayed and it's not an issue. As long as your IMEI is OK you shouldn't have any dramas.
ive already told you how to do it

I don't know why everyone else keeps posting. This is the commonly accepted answer, and the one I used too (though I used an old Sony Ericsson).
And in the time I took to make this message, I see E_Goldstein has stated the same .

Thanks, I missed your message as someone moved my thread. Lol
It just so happens, that my dad uses a crappy Samsung tocco mini, I tried your suggestion....
IT WORKED! (+1 given)
The number I typed in, is the number that's showing.
So, rather than reading my number (which it isn't doing), its showing whatever I typed on the Samsung tocco as my own number.
But not bothered about that, as my number now shows on the sgs2 woop whoop
However, if I changed my number (which I wouldn't) - I'd have to pop it back into the tocco and manually change it. Lol
I changed the number with an old SonyEricsson K800.
But the question now is:
Is it sure to have the phone number memorized in "about phone"?

And if I do not have an old phone to use?
A possible solution could be to do a Nandroid backup of your current rom, flash CM7 or CM9, put your phone number in, then restore your backup. I haven't had to do this as I use CM9, but I don't see why this wouldn't work as the number is stored on the SIM.

you guys are for real? Lol.
Easiest fix is using cm9, open dialer than its properties, and enter your number lol.
Don't remember if stock ics have the option in dialer, on GB at the moment
Hi Guys,
I am new on SG2. I'm using stock rom, ICS 4.0.3 and I found out that my phone number in Settings is "unknown".
I noticed this problem since I bought it on store but I didn't ask the store staff why this thing happen.
Can anyone give me an advice what's wrong on my phone? TIA. :fingers-crossed:
you didnt flash or root etc ?
can you receive calls and does it connect to your provider ?
I've NEVER had my phone number appear there since day one from the first stock, unrooted Gingerbread ROM out of the box. It's never really bothered me. I think it has more to do with the way your provider's SIM interacts with the device than anything else.

I just change my kernel version to speedmod but this problem happened since the day I bought my S2 on store.
Yes, I received calls, messages and signals from my provider.
What do you think is the problem?
phone number got stored on your SIM, if you didn't got one from your carrier, just flash cm9 and from dialer settings add your phone number. After that it will show on every Rom every phone, until you change your SIM.
Yep Atifsh is right. Either flash CM9, change it/add it (dialer/settings/additional settings/my phone number), then go back to whatever rom you were using if you want. Or....get an older dumb phone which has the ability to edit your phone number/save it on the sim; put sim in dumb phone, add/edit number, put sim back in SGS2. Profit.
Thanks guys. Can you give me a link to the best CM9 Rom I will use? TIA

May Be your IMEI number is Flactuating check it after call or before , or reflash the stock,if still the problem exist it may be your service problem
