In the settings->status->My Phone number, the phone number is not getting displayed. Instead its just showing "unknown". do anybody have any idea why this is happening?
somebody please reply this?
Mine did not display initially, but displays recently. Not sure what I had done.

I have ported my number from 3 to T-mobile and the porting went ahead yesterday, and everything is ok in terms of calling, receiving calls.
However when I check Settings, About Phone, Phone identity, to old number (T-mobil) shows up.
I have switched it off and back on, I've removed battery & sim, but still old number showing.
Thoughts?
Same for me...not overly bothered tho
it's because the new SIMs come with their own number programmed into the SIM.
You could change this on Windows Mobile by using the SIM manager and in the menu you had an option to change the 'My Numbers' stored on the SIM.
Don't know of any way to do this on Android.
Anyway, just save your number in the contacts list in 'Me'.
It really is nothing to worry about, but you can go ahead and dump the SIM into another phone to change the number if you really want to....
It's annoying when you know it's wrong isn't it?
Mine read 'Unknown' so I took my SIM out, jammed it into my spare WM phone and programmed it in SIM Manger as mentioned above.
Android still reports it as 'Unknown', I can't win
Yes I definitely want to change it... uhhh So no app for Android does this yet?

Depends. Personally, this wouldn't bother me in the slightest. My last windows mobile phone said unknown for the whole time i had it. Made no difference to me whatsoever. but that's just me. I have other stuff to get annoyed about
I guess it just can't read it from the SIM for some reason if it's still showing as unknown. And AFAIK there is no app for it. Although maybe someone else here knows otherwise?
I don't know if it's going to be an issue eventually, i can still receive calls and make them, however, when i look in the settings. My number doesn't appear.
when i go in the information menu *#*#4636#*#* my number is blank as well.
Is this the same for everyone?

I have the same exact issue. *shrugs* someone at t-mobile said it was okay. I work for sprint, it doesn't sound right to me. Keep me updated and I'll keep you updated.

Mine is showing then phone number, do you have the updated sim card? And are you running a custom ROM?
if ur # isnt showing im guessing its something to do with sim card
Well they changed my SIM card when i bought the phone. That's all i can say, it's a different sim, the chip itselft is half the size than it used to be.

It won't cause any issues but it does have to do with the sim card. My phone says the same thing and has a new sim card as well. Call customer care and see if tech support has an answer for this.

Was the same for me (Telus). Some googling revealed that CM7 had a GUI option that could update the SIM card so I flashed that on my old Desire, put the SIM in it and set the phone number. Swapping the SIM back into the SG2X now correctly shows the phone number under My Number.
My number didn't show until I called a T-mo CSR and had them get rid of that blasted "web guard" crap. I noticed my number showed up sometime after the CSR intructed me to reboot and the 4hrs they said to wait for changes to take effect.

this solution worked for me :
go to the contacts application
touch menu ( lower left button = )
more
settings
own numbers
menu
create
enter your number
optionally enter a name
touch save
power off the phone
power on the phone
verify the change by going to menu > settings > about phone > status : phone nr or *#*#4636#*#*
I don't think this is normal, but... Is it normal? because it hasn't been recognizing the phone number from the time I first started it up..
Nevertheless, I can still do anything that a normal phone would do.. like text, 3g, calls. It doesn't affect any of my day-to-day uses at all.
(some of the text on the screenie's is in Japanese b/c I use Jp language settings)
Thanks in advance
It's normal.

Are you sure it's normal? Mine displays my number in the "My phone number" field.
My phone number is 'unknown' according to my gnex. Always has been that way. Probably sim and/or carrier related.

Yeah as long as your IMEI shows, you're good to go. Mine displays my number but its most likely related to the carrier as the person above me noted.
Hello there,
Recently my Lumia 900 displays all incoming call numbers as unknown. I recently upgraded my phone to 7.8 and it was working fine for couple of days and then this problem started. BTW: It does not matter whether the caller is in my address book are not still i get unknown.
please help.
sounds to me the problem is on the carrier's end.. have you contacted them regarding this problem?

I did, they tried to "reset" the account/profile but that did not help and strongly believe this has nothing to do with the carrier.
I tried the same sim card on the iphone and it works perfectly - displaying all incoming numbers
Any other suggestions?
My wife had that problem, and it took ATT Changing her phone number to fix it.
I refurbished the phone using Nokia Care Suite which fixed the issue,
Hi, I have a ATT Note 2 and I keep getting the error "Phone Not Allowed MM#6" every time I turn it on. I can press the OK button and get to the home screen and use the phone normally except that it cannot send or receive texts or calls (emergency only). I am on the Solavei network and has been working fine for a few months, but the other day it just stopped one morning after I woke up.
I bought it from a store and he has assured me it wasn't stolen or anything like that. And the Solavei customer service could not get it working after several resets and whatnot. They sent me a new sim card which I have not received yet, but I am not very hopeful about that working... My WiFi works and I actually get signal bars but again, no 4G, no calls, no texts...
Is there anything I can do in the settings or anything? My phone does not have any custom roms or anything like that, just the regular ATT/Samsung Android 4.1.2. The only thing I changed on it was the option to enable the T-Mobile bands (Youtube: How to Enable T-Mobile 3G/4G AWS Bands on AT&T Galaxy Note 2 SGH-i317!). But I also tried without those bands and that didn't work either...
Please help, thanks in advance!
Try a complete factory reset with Odin. But that error sounds to me like someone reported the IMEI as stolen

Thanks. If in fact it was reported stolen, is there any way around that?

Go into your local store with the original recipt. They should be able to either tell you who reported it or give you a refund

Agreed. ..
Any reputable seller. .(retail store ) is obligated to sell legally or don't sell at all..
The days of sneaking around carriers with stolen merchandise are quickly becoming a thing of the past...g

there can be two reasons.. one is when you tried to change the bands on your phone there are more possibilities your IMEI on the phone would have corrupted and that is reason you might be getting that message, and second reason can be some one reported the phone stolen and it is blocked from the service provider end..
to validate that check your phone IMEI by dialing *#06# if that shows your valid IMEI then your phone must have got blocked by the service provider or incase if the IMEI shows some thing like null or 00/0 then the phone IMEI is corrupted, I can help your fixing your phone IMEI if it corrupted.. let me know if you still having this problem
Thanks everyone. I called up ATT and they confirmed that the phone was reported stolen. So I took it back to the store I got it from and he said that sometimes this happens so the company can get the insurance... Regardless, he reset and rooted my phone and it works again. My IMEI number shows up as well. Now the only thing is that I am not able to get all of the T-mobile bands back. Does anyone know about this?
