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.

Try to Just Clean Cache And Dalvik!! If IT Still Doesnt Work Then Flash A New And Latest ROM
HI Mehta,
I did that a few times and i also flashed the latest firmware for India. i also found out that somehow the phone's imei number has changed. and i have absolutely no idea how that happened. Pls help me with any information you might have.

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.

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.
Hi there, so yesterday I rooted my previously straight out of the box T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 using the xwkdd_insecure.tar (with odin and superoneclick - I am a complete noob by the way, but this seemed to work after I followed a YouTube video), so that I could then unlock it to use 3 Mobile (in the UK) which I am on - I had bought this phone brand new and sealed from eBay (someone's unwanted upgrade). I then went on to using the free ChainFire sim unlock app, and seems as though now my 3 simcard can be used fine. Then I went on to flash it by th using this file first - I9100XWKE7_StockKernel.tar - after seeing another YouTube video to purely debrand it but this only got rid of the yellow ! logo which appeared after rooting it, that is all.
So I then went on to using this method http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1064894
in order to debrand it of all T-Mobile stuff, sjuch as the T-Mobile logo and trademark tune which came on after switching the phone on, and get it like a standard sim free/factory unlocked phone if you know what I mean. I used this file as mentioned in the link - I9100XWKDD_I9100XXKDH_I9100XEUKD1_HOME.TAR
The latter part of the guide goes on to entering #272*<IMEI># or something like that, but I have tried that all of the other alternatives and all I get is "USS code running" and like 2 seconds later the error message
"Connection problem or invalid MMI code" appears. I basically can't enter anything in my phone dial with # or whatever. What is wrong?
I have also noticed that whenever I call someone a message saying "Conditional call forwarding active" appears, but then proceeds to make the call okay. I have tried to disable and fiddle around with the call forwarding settings, but again, error messages come up when doing so.
What exactly is wrong and how can I fix it - I am a bit of a noob with all this....? It is surely something to do with all that stuff I have mentioned. Please help me as I honestly don't know how to go about fixing this. What is the most straightforward thing to do which will stop these messages?
Thanks in advance.
Any ideas guys please?
I think that in the code, where it says imei, you have to insert your imei number?
Not 100% sure though.

Hi mate, yeah I know that sorry I should have been clearer, I mean if I type in any code with # pretty much that message always comes up, like for finding my IMEI with #*06# though I can find it another way, and for speeddial etc
the combination is *#number code not only one of them or the other way round... (eg.: *#06# for imei)
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.

oh and While I was reading your post Mobile light glowed again saying refreshing Sim data.Looks like it is Sim Problem
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? I'd like to know how to fix this
Thank you
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 .
jje
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.

Even for me is not a problem but just a curiosity
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
I've been searching all day for a good solution for this but can't seem to find anything that works for the S2.
I've seen some people have an issue in Android where the phone number will show up as Unknown in the My phone number field in the About phone status screen. I have a similar issue, but different. My phone number shows up 11 zero's instead of unknown.
As my previous phone was an Iphone my sim won't fit to try write my number to the sim. Is it the same issue as the unknown? and has anyone found a fix while using an S2? I've already updated the ME contact with my number and still no luck.
There seem to be a few apps that use this number to display information about you including Kies which return this 00000000000 number.
It doesn't stop the phone from being used, but it is started to be an annoyance that I guess I could do with out.
Any help you could give would be great.
Thanks,

My phone number is also Unknown. Maybe i'm not reading it right, but what's your problem?
Sorry I must have left out the most important part. How do i get my phone to show my correct number?
Thanks

I got that, but since I've got the unknown number maybe you can do something extra when you got number displaying there. So my question was needed to be like: where do you need it for?
But sorry I don't known how to get it there.
