[Q] Settings--> About Phone--> Status --> My Phone Number is showing as unknown
In Settings--> About Phone--> Status --> My Phone Number is showing as unknown
i am a newbie tried installing a terminal on my rooted android phone(2.3.7) and have checked getprop there are many properties available but I don't find any property that stores the sim phone number in this list.
could you please let me know where the modification has to go for changing it ? Application is available called "MY PHONE NUMBER" but unfortunately not installing on my cell
if some one has any idea how this can be done please let me know
thanks in advance
cheers,
Ravi
I don't think there is an option to enter phone number in SIM card in Android (correct me if I'm wrong). I entered mine in a SE K550. Number is displayed now in Android.

I followed this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=14949609&postcount=4. This was for stock ROM.
The method mentioned before (settings>call settings>gsm call settings>additional settings>my phone number) is for CM-based ROMs.
Hope this helps.

The easiest way to do this is to insert the sim into an iphone if you have one easily accessible, go to Settings>phone>my number ---> Here you can set your phone numb and save it.
Now if you insert the sim in an android phone, you will be able to see your number.

I doubt if that was caused by the Eris Market fix. Not sure what to try except maybe turning it off and back on? Try *228 option 2 to update roaming abilities?
Help Please, Internal Phone info shows wrong number
My Optimus V shows my phone as having the number XXX-XXX-XX0X vice the actual XXX-XXX-XX8X under Settings/About Phone/Status. (If some one calls the XX0X that gets a business somewhere, if XX8X is called they reach me). My online account at VM is under the XX8X number too. I want to correct the "My Phone Number" to XX8X (from the XX0X). Does anyone know which file stores this information so I can edit it with root explorer or otherwise fix it?
Thanx Very Much
(tried the question thread but no response there.
Cm7 roms you can just change it in setttings
Settings > Call settings > Additional settings (for GSM) > My phone number.
Please note that the Additional settings menu may not work for some operators.

Bummer no "additional settings.." option on my OV. Thanx anyway. I may go to CM7 sometime soon and will use that method.
Do you have stock ROM or a custom ROM? If you are on stock ROM you should be able to use the activate app to rerun activation which should fix it. If that doesn't call VM and they can tell you have to change it since you may also need to change your msid number. If your not on stock you will probably have to backup your current ROM, flash a stock ROM to fix it and then you can restore your custom ROM

Happy new year to all in XDA! whell now, the question: i use a rom based on V20A (brazil) and when i enter in "About the phone -> Status" i can see my phone number and operator! it only say "Desconocido"(Unknow) in spanish.
I test some rom based in other version and have the same bug, how i can fix this? or how i can add the info of my operator in venezuel "Digitel"?
why i need that? because i can put my photo to the sms system and other thing related to my profile, like sync with facebook, twitter, etc...

Okey, that because
1. Your cellular provider dont give your phone number on your SIM (hardware)
2. Android dont have 3rd application that have access to change your phone number (as i know, CMIIW).
What can you do for having your phone number on your status?
1. Use another phone like sonyericson or nokia that can give access to give "my number" on SIM card (i dont have specific knowledge about the series of phone)
2. Move your sim from android to another phone.
3. Give your phone number on setting.
4. Move back your sim to android, and check what you have done...
Edit:
This someone that success used another phone to change "my phone number"

hi Aarush,
?
even i ve the same problem, how to fix it?
The "My Number" info is stored on the SIM-Card, not the phone. Reseting the phone is not gonna delete it. Try with another SIM and see if it's still there, it shouldn't be.
Thanks mate. I belived this is solved. Use any other phone to edit own phone number in sim. Like Samsung champ I didn't try but it is possible to change.

Hi,
I am having trouble with My Samsung Galaxy S2 (ICS 4.0.3) Sim alert and mobile tracker.
I go to Settings -> Location and security -> Find my mobile and everytime I try to check SIM CHANGE ALERT it says in progress but it doesn't check so I am unable to check or set up the other two options (Alert message recipients or remote controls) so can't track my mobile with Dive.
I have a samsung account and I am signed in...
Can anyone help me out - be much appreciated.
Thank you.

Maybe you should try to remove your sim card, reinsert it and try again,,,
If it does not work, check other security options for any errors..
Yes, i have tried that...but nothing changes....
I had this problem the other week. If I remember correctly, I had to delete the Samsung account (don't worry, there's a bug in Samsung's ICS 4.0.3 which allows you to remove it without doing a factory wipe!), then re-add it, and go into Samsung Apps->My page->Downloads to check that it's working properly.
Oh, and it should go without saying that you need a data connection (3G or WiFi) and your Samsung account password...

Yes it's works ! Thanks for your help cowbutt....
we just need to remove and re-add the samsung account...
1. just go to Settings > Accounts and sync then remove your samsung account from there....
2. then go to Settings > Security > Find my mobile > check the menu "SIM change alert" then insert your samsung id and password...now the menu is checked.
for menu "Remote Controls" same as step 2.
if one of the above menu checked will automatically add your samsung account to account and sync menu.

Yes , I tested this feature on Samsung Galaxy S2 GT-i9100G, it works and It really sends the IMEI number.
But if you checked the source of the message it will be definitley , the phone number.
so you have both IMEI and Phone number.

Thanks
