Sometimes, the number saved on the sim card is not the same as the phone number attached to it. It is possible to edit to change what's saved to the sim card. Some apps read the number from the sim card and it can be a minor annoyance when it isn't your phone number that it displays.
I've seen people suggest that to put the sim card in an old Nokia or iPhone and edit it on the other phone, but I recently found out it's possible to edit in Android 7.
Go to settings
Double tap 'Sim Cards'
Double tap on the 'Sim Slot' that sim card is in.
Double tap 'Number'
It becomes writeable, you can enter the phone number that you want saved to the sim card.
Press 'OK'

Hopefully, this will be helpful to some people and they won't be rummaging through cupboards trying to find their old phones.
This may with dual SIM versions but unfortunately on my single SIM G5 there's no SIM card option in settings. If you have Xposed framework installed there is a SIM number changer module or if just rooted there is a very old app I dug up on XDA years ago which still worked on lollipop or thanks when I last had cause to try it. Else it's Nokia tools...

I know this is old, but it's still relevant.
Thank you for writing this, I confirm it works fine on a Moto G 100. Just took my SIM from my Pixel 6, edited it with the Moto G100 and put it back in the Pixel 6, and the number has changed.

telephone number sending
Does anyone no of a wm5 application that when the sim card is changed it texts the telephone number of the new sim card to a predefined telephone number? Even better if it could be stored in memory somewhere.
does IIWPO work on wm5?

Hi everybody
I'm wondering if any of you know whether it's possible to dump the contents of a SIM card in the phone's memory, then to be able to use the phone without the physical sim card present.
I'm engaged with two providers, to which one belongs a SIM card, and I'm forced to open my phone and switch cards when I want to switch from one network to the other... that's really unconvenient !
The point would be to have both SIM cards dumped in my phone's memory, and choose one from a software option.
I'm using a WM6 flashed HTC P3300, if that's of any use.
Thanks a lot !
I never heard about virtual SIMcard in unit memory - but you have standard solution - dualsim ( you can find different solutions - but check before buy - not all working proprly with WM phone .

thanks for your answer
this not exactly not what I need, but I'll check in that way too
No that's pretty much exactly what you need.
You want to be able to use two carriers simultaneously (or at least psuedo simultaneously) without opening the phone and manually changing SIM cards.
As far as I know this is the ONLY way to do that. And it's still not perfect. Like he said make sure the device you get is 3G compatible or it won't work right. Also if you look around they have a device that looks like vice grips with a small cookie cutter welded to it. This is what you need to cut the sim chip. you can try with a scissors but try explaining to your wireless carrier why you need a new sim card.
Also it's tough ordering over the internet because you need to make sure that whatever you get will actually fit in your specific phone (they are all designed to take a standard sim chip but NONE are "designed" to take one of these things. some work in some phones but not in others. The newer ones (which you'll need since you need 3G) usually have an "automatic" setting which basically switches back and forth between carriers without you touching it.
Good luck!
Or u can use Super SIM read here http://www.nowgsm.com/GSM6in1.htm
i also wanted to do the same thing - has anybody tried such a dual sim adapter in a treo by a chance?
also, the sim cards are definitely v2 as they've been issued within the last year and have 3g compatibility;
i'd really love to hear if it worked for somebody before i go ahead and cut the chip out of my sims
Hi all!
I wanted to enjoy everything that my HD2 has to offer so today I made the switch to a provider, which offers me 1GB free traffic/month.
Great and all.. but, since I made that switch, a "1" is appearing on top, next to the connection status icons (on windows mobile).
I'm pretty sure it has something to do with my connection, because as soon as I toggle off "phone" at the wireless controls, it's gone.
Can anyone explain me what it actually means? And maybe, how I can get rid of it?
Thanks in advance
Pyr0wl
I think when the "1" is present, that means that your Line 1 is active. Same goes for other active Lines.
Atleast, with iWireless, that's the situation.
[iWireless also allows a Data Connection whilst on the phone too, so I'm assuming AT&T phones also have the "1".]
Okay, with the info you provided, i went off to scour the internet, and I found some information.
It seems indeed, that the number on top, indicates which line I'm using And, if i press the "#" on my keypad, I can switch from line 1 to line 2. This is called, alternative line service. All it does, is mapping two different phone numbers to your SIM card.
Now i'm just looking for a way to disable this, because, i don't have a second telephone number mapped to my SIM
So I was HALF way right. Pretty good guess.
I'll do some research and see if it's possible to disable the "Secondary" Line, though, I think it may be a SIM Function, not device... as you did say in your first post that you switched carriers... which means a new SIM.
As most people know, tampering with the SIM Card (Excluding your Contacts & Web Settings) can be a bad idea...

right on bro thanks for all you have and are doing
Did some research, and found out that it CAN be disabled but you have to speak to your provider about it.
The actual Service Name is called 2-in-1 Sim Service. See HERE for more info. Though that article is quite old, it seems many providers now support 2-in-1 Sim Service for Business customers that wish to have a Business Number AND a Personal Number all on one device.
I called my provider and asked about this service, and they said it is, in fact an optional service, but it's pre-configured on the SIM Card. At the moment, my provider only has one style of SIM.. so I can't remove my Secondary Line availability.
I recommend talking to your provider about the service to see if you can disable it.
Hope this helps m8.

I noticed on my Moto X Pure (USA) that the SIM tray looks like it would support 2 SIMS + Micro SD on my SIM tray, but one of the SIM holding slots is covered with plastic... Is Motorola artificially limiting dual SIM in the US? I wonder if the internals in the phone itself has the hardware for supporting 2 SIMs and it would be possible to modify this SIM tray to hold 2 SIMs or import a SIM tray from a country with dual SIM models? If the ROM on the US version wouldn't support it, I am sure a custom ROM could be made to support it (if my theory is correct).

Interesting thought as I travel on a yearly basis, I'll be looking into this and get back to you when I receive my phone
Hmm. Use my VZW and Project Fi at the same time.

until we get a teardown of the phone, showing both sets of SIM contacts. we won't know.
I was wondering that when I first put my sim in. Some other people said that the Brazil and south american version of the style has dual sim capabilities. Would be pretty cool if we could just pop out the plastic and use the other slot.
Sorry folks, it does not have contacts for the second SIM slot.
You can see I circled the SIM 1 contacts but there are no contacts where SIM 2 would be. I circled the two locations where the SIM 2 contacts should be.
I've seen a review of the Pure that shows the tray as having 2 sim slots. So I'm guessing the Style does, the Pure does not.

When I receive a call, the phone number in Call History is in format +1 514-XXX-XXXX(Space between 1 and 514) so when I call back the carrier block the call. I have to the write down the number and manually type the number by taking out space and dash to make a call go through. It's so annoying to do this every time. Even if I save the number by taking out space, it still there. Any solution to fix this? Can I replace default Dialer and Contacts App.

That’s Normal and how it’s supposed to show up, on income calls for both T-Mobile and AT&T anyway for me. And never have any issue calling it back. Spaces shouldn’t have anything to do with calling it back. Now sometimes having that 1 there might throw off the Carrier. But the spaces won’t do anything.

It’s like this on both iPhone and Android.

I don’t see any issue with having spaces as spaces wouldn’t have an effect on it. What message are you getting?
The spaces are Normal

It says "This call is blocked". When I input the number manually without space, it works. I insert the sim card into another phone which format has no space (+1514XXXXXXX) and it works, which mean the space is the problem. Do you know how to replace default dailer? Just to try and see if it works with new dialer.

You can try looking In the play store. Make sure you don’t have any international dialer helpers enabled.

I just want to inform that I found the solution. Just flash Custom Rom and it's fixed.
