Phone App and its Number and Number Porting

Hi all,
I am getting number ported from another network onto T-Mob. When i first got the phone i was given a temporary number which is no longer in use as my old orange number has been ported today. Now in the Phone application my old number is displayed. Is this likely to change or do i have to do something on the phone to force the change???
Tar very much

Couldn't find it myself either, somebody else finally told me where it's at
Start > Programs > SIM Manager > Tools > List of Own Numbers
First number listed there - tap that, and edit it.
Edit: soft-reset after change required - just power down (hold the on/off button for a few seconds), then power back on

Erm, there is no sim manager on my phone. I have the T-Mob MDA Vario.
lol

This is starting to bug me now as when i look at any of the text messages i have sent out they all have the from address as the old number.
Has anyone got an idea how to fix this without a hard reset??? :?:

Okay, for some reason sim manager is not in programs, so i had to run it manually by browsing the phone and going into the windows directory.
Can now edit the blasted thing. :roll:

Phone number on Today Screen

Hi, can anybody tell me how I can get my phone number to automatically appear on the Today Screen (eg. from SIM) without me having to type it in, or include in contacts?
Thanks

Enter it under Setting into Owner Information. Then under Settings go to Today and to the tab Items. Here you can choose which items should be shown. Tick the box Owner information.

Thanks, I know that's an option, but as I'm continually swapping sims, it's not a workable option (especially as I can't remember the numbers)! Surely there's a way to get the number from the SIM. It worked on the Magician.....

There is a desktop plugin which can solve your problem. It can display the text defined by yourself according to your different IMSI. But it is in Chinese. Pls visit:http://bbs.pdafans.com/thread-181236-1-33.html

Thanks. Any chance you can post the file here?

Install mystk.cab first, then copy patch files to \windows.

Default SMS Picture?

In the Messaging app when SMS Message are threaded it displays a picture from the person the message was sent by, and another picture that is next to the SMS that are sent by Me. In the CM6.1 ROM the default Picture is a Grey Box...
Is there anyway of changing this?

I wish, this bothered me SO much at first..

Handcent allows it in the settings fairly easily well worth the small price to support good product that enhances my customization.

In CM, go to Settings -> Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number and put in your phone number.
Then make sure you have a contact with the picture you want to see in your contacts list associated with the same number.
And presto, picture.

This actually works...
Wish it would pull the picture from facebook like the original Slide ROM does, but at least the annoying gray square is gone..
Thanks for the help

Hi guys. I am also having this problem, admittidly with an HTC Saphire. I can't find any way to input "my number" anywhere. In settings "about phone" it says, number unknown and is greyed out. Anyone know how on a Saphire. Then maybe this would also fix my SMS picture problem.
Cheers, just in case.

The only downside I've found is that the setting doesn't stick through a reboot (so you have to put your phone number back in after each one). Upon checking, there's a bug tracker issue for that problem on the CM bug tracker so *shrug* hopefully it gets fixed some time soon.

Solution.
There is another longer thread somewhere on this, and the solution works, I have just done it.
Basically the sim card needs to be programmed with "my number". On my Magic, when you go to about phone, it would say number "unknown". Magic doesn't allow you to change this. Put your sim into another phone; I ended up using my girlfriends Backberry; and navigate to additional settings, or whatever, until you find Sim Card actions. Then in there edit sim card to show your phone number in international format (+44(leave out 0)**********).
Once done, pop card back into your phone, and as long as you have a contact with your number and picture logged away, then voila.
Works on any phone that allows you to edit sim card.
Hope this helps.

Madam*, I owe you a cookie.
*lol, couldn't find thanks so I clicked on your homepage...
Also doesn't need resetting after a reboot, however I had to reboot to make the pics stay after re-entering the messsaging app.

[REQ] Fake Phone Number

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I have a few apps that require a "phone number" in order to work - one of which is the verizon remote control application. Does any one know where in the android setup the phone number is stored, and how I could go about just adding a random number to it so that when I am on my wifi and the cable box checks for allowed numbers it can match?
Thank you

Same here, it will be great to use Whatsapp on my NC. Anyone??

try textfree - a free texting app that assigns a phone number to your nook -

Well, if the textfree thing dosent work, you can (from the home screen) click menu > settings > call settings > Additional Settings (under other call settings) > my phone number. Hope this helps the number you set shows up in the about tablet menu
EDIT: Im running CM7, not sure if this works on other ROMs

Thanks!! I will try both suggestions!!!

[Q] Setting My Phone Number

Hi!
I'm extremely happy upgrading from Windows Mobile to Android! But when I go into the settings, it can't find "My phone number" and it can't be set, either. Googling indicates it could be set in an older phone, but I've tried that without success.
Googling also says a lot about the mobile operator "pushing" this info to the SIM card. But my operators support didn't understand neither the problem nor any solution. They just claim everything is OK on their side...
Thanks for any hints!
Best regards,
Knut

settings - call settings - scroll way down to 'additional settings' - my phone number.
At least thats where it is on cm7 roms.
If you also add yourself as a contact using that same number, with a contact pic, it will use that contact pick for you in txt message threads once the 'my phone number' is set.
