M Phone number is showing as 000000000000
any ideas how to change this?
I think it's carrier dependant, can u tell us on what network you are? I'm not 100% sure though
all the s3's I've seen don't show it in Lebanon
I'm on t-mobile uk which is now showing as ee, (everything everywhere)
its a SIM card thing I put my SIM in wife's old iPhone and now on gs3 shows number

Yes it's written on SIM card, some roms can't write it down on the card, the solution if you absolutely want this is to put your card in an old/another phone.
With my previous phone the number wasn't readable, now I have it.
Thanks for the replies, its not that important, but i may swap the sim over sometime .....
thanks
Hi
I have the same problem, I did put my sim in a different phone and edited the number but it still shows the wrong one in my phone. Any solutions?

Did have a search but could not see this anywhere so;
Not so much dual booting as dual personality
I recently gave my number to a friend and looked in about phone/status to get it as I can never remember. Mt friend could not call me and I have just realised that the telephone number the phone thinks it is, is not the correct one. Can this be fixed? How did it happen as I am sure it was the correct one originally.
try to turn off your phone, remove your sim card, re-insert your sim card then reboot.
I have this too, also can't fix it. But I think it is carrier related.

Yes did try this but still the same. Left the sim out for a good ten minutes as well.
Plenty of threads on the subject. Stick SIM in an old dumb phone and change the number there, it'll then show the correct number when put back in your smartphone.
My sister bought this phone off crag list and it look brand new, it even have the original cover plastic. But when we put in the tmobile sim card, it doesn't see it. Do we have to do a reset or something , anybody have any advice ? Cause I'm pretty new to wp.

I had this happen to me too. Call T-Mobile and tell them you need to activate an HTC Radar. What they do is associate the phones IMEI number to your sim card. I don't know why they have to do this with this phone and not other phones, but you do. Also, your sim may not work if it's an older sim. They make ask you for the model number for your sim card and replace it for you.
Hi folks,
I got a branded T-Mobile handset Monday this week. I have unbranded and changed to the newest stock rom / changed CSC to BTU.
Just connected to Kies and another update was performed which updated the modem to LH1 but I have noticed a strange issue.
Under status it is reporting my phone number as all zeros.
Attached a screenshot so you can see what I mean.
Not noticed anything wrong yet, but it does worry me in the sense if the phone is reporting the incorrect phone number then I may have some service / billing issues somewhere along the line.
It is only information menu. It reads phone number from SIM card. If you have any old phone just put your sim there and set 'my number' in settings. New phones didn't have option to programm numer on sim card.
Don't worry about it if you can't change it.

So strange. So how does my phone even function without the sim reporting the correct number? lol
Weird problem.
Re installed the firmware and will do a factory reset, see if it makes any difference

It won't. Like the guy answering your question already said: "the number is on your SIM card" so doing factory reset won't make any difference.
The number you see is called MSISDN-number and it's only being used by a very small group of apps like walkie-talkie apps. I wouldn't worry about it. If it worries you, try this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.lytsing.myphonenumber
Didn't work on my phone though, but you can give it a shot. Mine's wrong too. I just don't think the problem is big enough for the hassle of having to fiddle with a microsim to regular SIM adapter, let alone find where it actually is.
Actually, the MSISDN number is the one stored on the SIM card. The last digits of the MSISDN may, or may not be related in any way to your actual phone number. The only entity that translates the MSISDN to your phone number is the carrier. In any case, you have nothing to worry about.
so i'm trying a fix a galaxy note att branded i717 note. my friend bought it craiglslist. here's what happens.
phone simply will not accept ANY att sim card. either "active" sim or fresh unactivated sim. same goes for tmobile sim cards. in both cases it will show "no sim/emergency calls only".
fine. i was under the impression that it should ask for some unlock code after inserting tmobile sim card, but it doesnt do that. clearly other MVNO sims didn't work either. note - both att and tmbole sims are 89014xxxxx
interestingly i had a foreign sim card (NON 89014xxxx....). => this works! instead of "no sim/emergency calls only", i simply get no service but no errors either!
WHAT is wrong with this phone? blacklisted? hardware fault? flash a different rom? any ideas?
Possible Sim card port damage...
A common problem with this device ....however, without knowing the history of the device, it becomes very difficult to diagnose...
But I'm leaning toward the Sim slot being damaged, as we have several threads on the subject ...g
From craigslist? Why?

well there's your problem, i hope you didn't spend too much on it.
I think he paid around 310. But the phone was in like new condition. If the SIM slot us damaged then why it would only reject tmob,att ones? It should reject every sim.
thx for ur responses. Appreciate it

I think I can help. Try resetting your phone, reinstalling the rom, or there is a bad thing going on with your phone. Are you sure itbis from AT&T? If the SIM card slots do not work, gently use a cloth to clean them. Is it a micro SIM card or did you cut a regular one down yourself? thank me if anything I mention fixes the problem.
hi, thanks everybody for posting. some strange things happening.
I tested two Tmobile MVNO (ultra and ptel) sim cards, both work! I didn't try simple mobile yet.
i found ONE tmobile and ONE at&t sim card that gets read properly. then i tried few other att/tmobile sim cards and they are rejected. !!!??!!!
I think i need to go the debug mode and change some settings there? *#197328640#
clearly sim slot is not broken. imei is not blocked.
Hi there,I had a problem makes me quiet confused. Recently I did buy previously used galaxy s7 edge.The phone come to me as new condition.First I notice missing label on the box where is says serial number,imei,bar code etc...Only other label on the box says europien sim only.Switch on the phone and everything seems to be ok,until I did not put in my sim card. Phone did recognize sim card and network provider but was unable to connect to network.Try with few more sim cards from different country's and network provider but the result was the same.Here comes the funny part.In the phone settings>about the phone there is a serial number and imei number.Both numbers don't match the type of the phone.Even the imei number.On the internet under this imei I find completely different phone.Model of this phone shows as 935fd.This sopostu be a dual sim but it's not.I do have this option for the second sim inside the phones settings but there is no way how to put the second sim in to the phone.Only one sim fit there and one memory card.Root count one.Previous owner maybe somehow manage to flash different model software,or something.What I will like to know if there is a way to fix it.Bring back the phone to it's original condition so I can used for the phone calls also.Thakns for any future respond.Hopefully I make my self clear about the issue I got
