I try to use Samsungs Private Share app and it gives me this error:
"You can't use Private Share because we can't read your phone number from your SIM, which we use as an ID. Contact the service provider for your SIM card and ask them to add your phone number to your SIM as the MSISDN."
I have talked to my phone operator 3 times and they tell me that the setup in their system looks good.
And when I look under "About phone" it says unknown phone number. I already got a new sim card, but no luck.
Any thoughts, guys?
Thank you in advance

I think it's a validation thingy, try this:
Open contacts, press the 3 dashesand select the gear on the top right (Settings on the contacts app).
Select "Share profile pictures"
It will ask youto activate profile sharing and will verify your number via SMS (kinda like 2 factor) after you do that the number will be verified and will appear on the phone settings.

Same with my s22 ultra. Esim number unknown. Sim 1 is ok. Please let me know if you find any solution
Try this.
Try clearing the data in Sim toolkit, network reset and clear the system cache from the boot menu.

I have the dash flashed to the Rogers wm6 ROM which is about 10x smoother/faster than the Tmoboile wm6...
But anyway, one thing i always hated with the tmobile was that if i was type alpha characters to find contact to dial, during my query, it would Automatically popup with (see below, dont know how to take a screenshot):
Dialer (Title)
Confirm
--------------------------------
Dial XXX at (yyy) - yyy-yyyy?
--------------------------------
Yes | No |
--------------------------------
How do i disable this? its really annoying because 99% of the time, the name that its asking to dial is incorrect and usually the same, ...ex. ill type the letters S A R for sarah, as soon as i see sarah in the list, this damn auto thing comes up saying (before i get the chance to select), Dial Chris at (xxx) -xxx-xxxx?
I was hoping this would go away with the rogers wm6, but alas it has not..
thanks for any help.
sim number
It try to dial number in sim card. example if you type ra, it also mean 3#. (dial number location 3 in sim). I solve it by delete all numbers in Sim card. Hope this help.
Ah that makes sense, is there any way to disable that without deleting my SIM contacts and using phone mem?
i don't have this problem and i have all my contacts backed up on the sim.
i don't know the solution... but just wanted to point out that i don't think you should have to delete all your sim contacts to fix. unless it has something to do with you ONLY having your contacts on your sim. i use the phone for my contacts and just have everything on the sim for backup only.
I try to disable SIM contact in setting-phone-call option but it does not help.
I'm not sure if it's only me, or everyone.
I have a Rogers s621 running on the brightpoint rom. If you start typing a contacts name from the homescreen and it starts with a letter that's within the keypad (w,e,r,s,d,f,x,c,v); and the 2nd letter is a(#).
The shortcut asks you if you want to dial that entry number from your contacts.
FOR EXAMPLE
You want to call your friend Darryl. From the homescreen you punch in D(5), A(#). Your phone will then ask you if you want to call the 5th entry in your phonebook and you have to say NO before you can continue typing darryl's name.
Maybe it's only me I don't know.

My stock with a few apps loaded Rogers 6 rom does not have that behavior.
strange, i guess it's either a bug or one of the many 3rd party apps that's controlling it.
the HTC ROM doesn't have this shortcut.
It's so dumb.
I have the new HTC rom and it does this. It's very annoying.
solution !
when this happens, it means that you have field number 5 of your sim card filled with darel's phone number.
so by field number on the sim car you can dial :
"1#" for the first number
"2#" for the second number
"3#" for the third
"49#" for the 49th number......
....
what you have to do is to copy the sim directory to the phone then you erase the sim contact list.
the you'll be able to dial darel number easyly.
Last solution : learn the begining of darel phone number, start hiting the number, you'll find the name.
sorry for my english.

I never thought of that. Guess I'm gonna erase the sim. Thanks again.
You could also try not erasing the sim, but copying contacts to the phone, then disabling the sim phonebook in settings>phone>call options. This way the sim is still backed up with all your numbers if the problem is resolved without erasing.

Tried that before i posted this thread, didn't work.
Deleted the sim contacts and everything's good now.
The weirdest thing is that this shortcut isn't even documented anywhere in the original htc manuals.
HI!
I have a HTC Desire CDMA through a small carrier called Bluegrass Cellular. I was having problems with my recovery so i ran RUU by US Cellular. Now my phone number in about phone is showing 0000002538.
It is obvious that the number is wrong. I have flashed the same RUU without any problems.
Now i cannot make calls at all. Most threads say use another phone to fix your sim card. Well my carrier dont use sim cards.
I know there has to be a way to fix it... I mean bluegrass has to put my phone number in somehow. I typed ##3282# and changed my MSID to the correct phone number but still have not fixed my problem.
Anyone have any ideas? I now have a phone that will not do any type of communication.
I just fixed it. I don't know how it fixed it but here is what I did...
I reran the same RUU... US Cellular (2.1):
http: // 2fastroms.com/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=87
Then opened dialer and dialed ##3282#.
Clicked "Edit Mode"
used my carriers password (usually "000000")
Clicked "Advanced"
Clicked "MSID"
Changed MSID to my 10 digit phone number
Clicked "Menu" Button
Clicked "Commit Changed"
Clicked "Ok" to reboot phone
And that fixed it. Good luck with anyone else with this problem!
and remember do this at your own risk! I am not responsible for any error it may cause!
well i just realized that that only fixed my issue where it cannot call text or talk.. But it however did not change the number back in "About Phone".
Any ideas?

My GSM phone has the same prob... but it happened when a moved my old phone number from my last phone over to my new sim card.... my about phone shows the number I had for 5 days before my old number replaced it, it is only a cosmetic thing. (the number it shows does not work by the way)
Ill look into it and if i can find any thing ill post here for you
I figured out how to fix it... I was like duh when u did. All u have to do is dial ##000000# (could change depending on ur carrier). And click edit mode. Then it will allow you to edit MSID AND MDN all in one page. Hope this helps somebody else!
I fixed it if you have the probs with GSM cards, pop it in a SIM reader and edit the "My Phone Numbers" field
How to put Phone Number in MIUI Rom? I need to Tikl and another Apps.
Thank.
Personally, I can't understand what you're asking for.
iR¡[email protected]!* via Tapatalk
I want to set my Phone Number in cellphone, because when enter in Status of Phone, my Phone Number is Unknown :X
is it important?
Sent from my LT18i
Sure, for programs, like Tikl need it, or only with facebook login ;/
For me is ;/ idk for you.
Have you tried this?
Settings - Call Settings - Additional Settings - Caller ID
Or maybe MSISDN isn't set in your SIM card?
To fix this, you can try an app My Phone Number.
You can set your phone number if you have an old phone lying around.
I used my old SE java phone to set my phone number.
The phone number will now show in Settings>About Phone>Status
MyPhoneNumber says "incompatible with other applications using the same shared user"
And im using MIUI doesn't have this option in settings :X
You need to put your SIM card in an iPhone or an old SE device that supports editing SIM number, Android doesn't support it.

Just like the tile says i cant activate my sim and it is correct, i can receive verification codes from them.....
Make sure you have sufficient balance in your phone account to send SMS for phone verification.
Try making a new MIUI Account and add the new account in the phone settings in "Mi Account". Connect account with your phone number by getting verification SMS sent to your phone.
For me it is the same ... I have 2 sim but can not send the verification sms to either of them ... But I have another problem, I run out of signal in both sims, I have to restart several times so that it returns to work accordingly.
What can happen...?
Thank you...
