I had this but fixed it by taking the SIM out and editing advanced-special number- in my old phone and adding my number.
My phone number now shows instead of the "sim card unavailable".
Yup agree with above poster... shove it in a dumb phone, edit your number then pop it back in your smart phone and it will be able to 'see' the number
Great tip. That's been bugging me for a while. Thanks!
I have a htc touch dual will that do it ? Thanks for replies

hi
i need to save my number to a special/my own number??
or i need my to save my number and edit the name to something special??
How would you edit your number using a dumbphone?
It does work, but there should be an application to fix this , it is funny that a "smart phone" can not handle "stupid tasks"
Wanted to know how to do this also. Cheers
I used a blackberry on the service provider store to edit it and be able to use taptalk...

LOL...good one...
yes!!!
thats exactly how its done... I had the same problem , removed the sim, put it in an old SE phone, edited the number and now it shows up in my X10i...
FYI: Mobile number is never pre-stored in SIM card given by your mobile operator. The SIM card only contains IMSI (International Mobile Subscriber Identity) which is the ID of the SIM card it self. And the phone does not know what is its phone number as well. And that is why that you can actually ask the mobile operator to change your phone number, without requiring you to change SIM card.
So you need to manually write your own number with other phone.
PS: Mobile phone eavesdropping/tapping hardwares also cannot see your phone number, only IMSI as the phone send their IMSI to mobile network. So movie that shows that they can sniff and see your phone number in their hardware, its fake.
i sold all my old phones

Hi All!
I have 2 contact list. First on XDA II memory, and second on my SIM card (this list i using with old phone like Simens S35).
I have a strange and BIG problem. All names of caller who make call to my phone will be not displayed. I can see only incoming call number if caller information missing on SIM card contact list. (but caller information may be include in XDA II Contact's)
Contacts information have format like +7 (921) XXXXXXX (or other +44, +49 ...)
What the problem?
How i can see caller information from my XDA II contact list at incoming call?
Any body HELP
With best regards, Maxim
P.S. Sorry for my english
most cellphones have both room for numbers on the sim card and in the phones internal mem
so if you cant solve it any other way you could always delete the content of the sim card and just use the contacts on your xda and your phone
Example:
I have record on my SIM like "Piter Mobile +7 (921) 1234567" and record in XDA II "Piter Gabriel +7 (921) 1234567"
Piter calling on my phone... I see "Piter Mobile". If i delete this record from SIM contact list, i can't see "Piter Gabriel". I see only "+79211234567".
What's problem?

Pls check numbers at SIM and at XDA carefully. Think you have different numbers at both devices.
No. Phone number from SIM and from XDA contact's is identical.
Suppose I know You use your XDA with Nokia? SIM is not inside your XDA? If so you have to receive information (address book as well!!!) from your phone via bluetuth or irda. I.e. if you dont have contacts at the SIM card your XDA will display numbers RECEIVED FROM YOUR PHONE. i THINK
No. I use at same time only ONE device
Now XDA II. SIM card into XDA
Draft! Im not crazy
I have a real problem. All standart metod to resolve already tested (may be :? )
hmm How you delete record from your SIM?
Will test on my Xda the same. Maybe smth find
To add/delete numbers to the SIM card, you can go to the SIM manager app (built in).
It will allow you to export numbers to your contact list as well. To make a number go from a contact to the SIM card, you need a third-party program. Pocket Informant (best PIM there is, IMO) can do this, don't know of any others that can off the top of my head.

I've got an MDA Vario with T-Mobile, and when I first joined T-Mobile I was given a temporary number until my old number (then with O2) switched over to T-Mobile. This was all ages ago and went well, but when I look at received text messages, it still displays the old temporary number in the 'To' field. Although it's not a big deal (when I send messages or call the correct number displays), is there a way to change / update this? Is the old temporary number somehow written into the chip? Thanks
Well, thats because the texts were "sent" to your temporary number. It really isn't an issue or something you can change, because the text was sent to THAT number, not your real one.
I guess if it bothers you that much you could get the txts re-sent to you now you have your real number back..
No they weren't. They were sent, and are being sent to my current number, and the phone still displays the temp one that was initially issued with my new sim. No one ever knew the temp number or sent anything to it, it's a display issue.
Ah sorry I misunderstood. You could try going to Programs -> "Sim Manager" and choosing Tools -> List of own numbers
That could be the problem.
I had exactly the same issue...I spoke to TMob customer services and they said the only way to fix this is to send a new SIM coded with the ported number. They then said that this would cost £10 as there was nothing actually wrong with the old SIM. I argued the toss and they sent me a new SIM for free which fixed the problem.
check my programs, don't have a sim manager, is it standard?
Ah, it came with my O2 XDA Mini S.
I don't know how to change it without that. Most normal phones have an "own number" change option, (Sony Ericsson, Nokia) so if you have one of those hanging around try using that to change it and seeing if that helps. However, the other poster may be correct in saying its hard-coded for T-Mobile users.
Thanks guys. ran a search for sim in help, and it actually mentions sim manager, so find it weird that it's not included!! I guess I'll just have to live with it, or maybe I'll contact T-Mobile...
Resolved
Checked the manual, sim manager can be accessed by going into programs, contacts (you get the choice of conacts or sim manager). Surely enough, it can che changed from there, and texts now arrive with the correct number displayed. Thanks lozzd
No problems glad you found it.
I've recently changed my phone number, changed sim cards, and flashed the latest AKU3.2 ROM i found here.
While going through the settings, and tweaking things to my liking, i went to "Phone Options" and noticed my old number is shown on top!
how? the sim is gone, the number is gone, and the phone was hard reset before and after the ROM upgrade.. it just doesn't make sense
even when i open an incoming SMS message, the "To:" field on top shows my old number, while the message was in fact sent to the new one!
where can i update this?
the only thing that came to mind is SIM manager, and "List of own numbers"
it has 3 slots, and the 1st one has my name and my old number.. i tried erasing it, changing it, etc.. all failed.
the number just wont change
tips anyone?
anyone?
Yes u are correct that's where it's getting the number from. You will need to delete own number from SIM with SIM Managers. No idea why it fails though... Try adding new number and then try deleting old number... unless for some reason your SIM is somehow locked by provider.
i tried replacing the number, deleting it then adding the new one..
deleted it all together.
still, i click save.. then i refresh and the damn thing is still there
i wonder if it's a fault in the sim application
but i tried my other phones (mainly Nokia's) and couldn't even find the option :S
Test on other WM5 device if u can... from a friend or something.
as far as I know, if U change number via PAC code, its more less something very similar to call divert, your SIM should be active to both of numbers, try to call your old number. it was mentioned here a while ago. user writing about this wrote something that the your old no is stil with your previous operatro..... dont remember
how do i add my number to status on htc magic
when i go to settings>about phone>status
it says my phone number unknown
is there a way to mod it
thanks
If you have a vodafone sim the problem is with the way they build them.
See here
thanks for the link
took this from it
However there is a solution, you need a sony ericsson mobile phone, pop your sim into it, then...
Address Book--->Options--->Special Numbers--->My numbers--->My mobile
You can put your number in that field, it will populate the required field on the sim card so it will appear on every other handset.
but did not work lol
I think this is kernel related, I did a search and found no answer...does anyone know where to look or how to change this so that my number shows? The reason I'm looking for this fix is that some apps required it..thanks for your help
...thanks to wolfpack612
Under WM, go to sim manager from your contacts, most roms have it cook in but if yours doesn't, just do a little search and you will find a cab.
...once under sim manager go to tools and from there you will be able to input your number..
...save changes
...reload android, go to settings and verified that your number appears under my number. If is there it lucky, but if it does not show
...delete data under your android folder and start fresh this will solve that issue.
Once aging thanks to wolfpack612

I have the same problem. I got a temporary number for a day waiting for my number to get ported over, and now under settings it shows that number. So for apps like tikl I have to use that stupid number. It might something the carrier can change I'm just too lazy to deal with them about it.

I'm using a sense build n I been looking at system files to see if I find something but still no luck..I don't think is a service provider issue, it seems to be build or kernel

i was able to change my number to the correct one. google htc sim manager. it's an app for windows mobile, and it allows you to change the phone number saved on the sim card. now my right phone number shows in phone identity.
