Why in the configuration of samsung Kies, I do not see my phone number? I amrece the number of another person. It's very strange happens to someone else?

I've just had my number ported, but the Universal is still showing the old number under Start > Settings > Phone
Where does it get that number from and how can I change it to the correct number?
On my MDA PRO there is a sim manager app in the contacts folder, you start that and from the menu show your own numbers and edit it there. If your O2 rom doesn't have a sim manager then you 'll either have to flash with another operator's ROM which does or put your sim into another phone that can access the SIM and edit your own number. You may get away with calling O2's CS and asking them to send you a SIM update which will change to the old number for you automatically, not sure if the universal can do this though.
Your pre-port number is stored on your SIM and will always be there. Just ignore it, but the reason is this...
When you port number 1 from network A over to network B, to replace number 2, number 2 will always be your main number. Network A will always own number 1, even though they have given it to network B for you to use instead of number 2. Even if people call your number 2 (which has been of course replaced with number 1), they will still get through to you. And, when people call you on number 1, the call is routed through network A, before it goes through network B, who in turn connect it to the subscription they have on their system as number 2.
I know there's probably an easier way of explaining it, but it's very late, so sorry if the above sounds a bit daft. It is true though.
:lol: no, that makes sense, thanks
Just having a look through my old posts and came across this one. Don't know how it works in Ireland but seems to be different here. Every time I've ported, the number that was being replaced has been switched off, i.e. if you were to call it then you get the "You have dialled incorrectly please try again" or similar error. As far as I know you're not identified to the network by a phone number stored on a SIM card, but by a unique code on the SIM, when someone calls you the call gets routed by the prefix of the ported number to your old operator, who then forward it to whoever they ported it to. Your present operator when they receive the call then check the phone number against their list of numbers and connect the call to the SIM code that the number is registered to. As I said in my post you can change the phone number that is stored on your SIM card using SIM manager on the universal, as I have done on mine, and if you were to put the SIM into a different phone it would still recognise the numbr change and report your number as your ported one.
Bit of a long post but in essence saying that the pre port number doesn't need to stay on your phone, you'll still get calls to your new number.

This is an easy one to fix:
Start > Programs > SIM Manager
Tools > List of Own Numbers
Change LINE 1 (which I think you'll find is your old number) to the new one you've had ported.
You should now find that the phone app reports the correct number
hmm, i try to register at samsung website, when i fill my imei number, they said that it already registered
both of them
i did bought this one from another person though, so its 2nd hand
is it just me? anyone else can register?
When i open the contact menu at the very top it says myself with someone elses phone number i am assuming it should be mine.
Yes i did buy the phone from another shop wondering if it was his/her number that sold it to that shop.
Yes i did change the original number to have my old number and do not remember the original number that came with the current sim that i use now.
All in all you should be able to edit the damn thing it lets you edit the name but not the number and you can not delete that entery.
I had a similar problem.
I ported my old number through my contract (T mobile).
However when my number ported it still stated the original number the sim card came with.
Solution:
I fixed this by using my girlfriends Dummy phone (Not smart phone) i edited the sim card number to my ported number, put it back into my xperia play and it worked.
Hope this works for yourself.

Hi, i recently portde my old number when i moved from t-mobile to three uk, and although it's worked fine, i.e. if i call my number which was originally on t-mobile), my phone rings. and if i call out, people see the correct number. text messages and the like also work fine. but in the settings menu, under device status, it shows the unused three uk number that was the original number of the sim i'm now using. also this unused number is diplayed in kies. is there any way to fix this so that it shows my actual number again?
I have the same issue.

Have you tried removing and reinserting the sim card and rebooting?
I haven't but have unlocked boot loader and wiped it since and still the same
I have a similar issue but where my number should be, it says, "unknown". According to T-Mobile (my carrier), it's because the SIM has yet to receive an update, which I can't get until I return to the US on Monday and should get as soon as I log on to their network.
