How do you set 'My Number'?

[Guest Spies]

I know you can use other phones to set it as it can't be set on the Blade, I have a Nokia N73, would I be able to set 'My Number' on the sim using this phone? If so which menu options do I go to, I tried this morning but couldn't find the option in the settings menu.

It doesn't work, hence asking how I set it using another phone.

Hi... I took my SF's sim and put it into my old phone and set the "my number" from the menu there, then put it back in the SF and TaDa! simples.

Where in the menu is it? I looked all around my Nokia and couldn't find anything like that. On my iPhone I found the My Number bit, but it doesn't appear to write it back to the sim card.

I'm using Vodafone but a friend just told me that Vodafone don't store the number on the sim, you do it via a network request which no other network does.

You can with a different rom, i unlocked my phone and moved to giffgaff months ago and always had "Unknown Number" on the about screen. However after i flashed CM7 on the phone i was able to change it, i'm now back to 2.1 because of the bugs/batterylife/performance and obviously it shows my number still.

On Nokia try

Menu> contacts> options> special numbers> My numbers> My mobile> edit

Not sure if its the same for all Nokia's but thats where it was on some old one i used a while back, dont know which model it was and dont have it anymore but worth a look to see if its the same on yours :D

Contacts, options, just has sorting options.

Sorry that didn't help! I was using an old Motorola L6, Mainmenu:Settings:Phone Status:My tel. Numbers and then changed the first line. Maybe you could try another phone?

Boo was worth a shot sorry it didnt help, if google does not bring up any answers for this then you could either borrow another phone for 10mins and do it or get a sim card reader online for about £8 (its like a usb stick that u stick a sim in) and use a bit of software to edit the sim :D

i just used my phone number app on cm7 rom and worked fine. could you back-up your rom, upgrade to cm7 to use this app then restore?

My Phone Number appears to have worked for me - well, its still stored after a reboot of the phone anyway....

Market says it only works on 2.2 and up.

[Guest That-Guy]

Put my giffgaff sim in an old Samsung u900 and then back into my San Francisco and it sorted it :D

'My Phone Number' worked fine on JJ9.

[Guest Alecto]

My Phone Number worked fine for me with FLB Froyo 10b thanks :D

Please confirm, if on CM7 it stored the number after a reboot? For me it doesn't, using either My Phone Number app or Additional Settings in Call Settings.

Already checked *5* other phones at home to try and set it hard on the SIM.

Results - nada.

Both nokias are dead (N70 not charging at all, 6310i doesn't show anything on the screen, backlight only), LG KU990 doesn't have such a setting, both Omnia phones (i900 & i8000) running WinMo don't have it as well. There's still my brother's HTC TouchPro, but as it runs WinMo too, I've already lost any hope :D

Take care! When I used the sequence above, it takes you to a screen that allows you to change the Service Centre number for sending texts. :D

Using FLB Froyo r8.
