I've just Ported from Orange UK to TMobile using my Tmobile Vario II phone.
The PORT has gone through successfully and people are successfully ringing and texting my Orange phone number which is now on T-Mobile.
However, when ever I look in Outlook, the To or From Address is still listed as my original T-mobile number. Also if I check the Telephone number in PhoneAlarm it states my phone number is the original T-mobile one.
I have soft reset the device with no affect. I have also uninstalled and re-installed PhoneAlarm with no affect.
I know it's a small thing but I want the correct phone number to show.
Any ideas on what to try next? Will a hard-reset work?
Thanks
Mike

Hi people,
Sorry to bother you with this, but I bet most people don't post until they have a problem!!!
I've just taken the plunge and updated the ROM on my O2 XDA IQ, and now it won't send or receive SMS! It gives me a "SIM is not valid" error message.
Does anyone know how I can fix this? Or explain why it is giving me this error message? Is it because of the CID being different? Or the region of the ROM I put on?
Thanks for reading!
G
are you using a different sim network? i guess your phone is still sim/cid locked.
I switched to Orange, and was able to send SMS fine for a week before I changed the ROM, so it's not a problem with the SIM. Is there a way to change the phones CID back to it's original value (I made sure I noted it down before changing it to the Super-CID)?
im not sure about that. your device should be working properly. try to go over the procedures again.
Did anyone manage to sort this out? I have the same problem, with an orange sim. Cant send or receive text messages, calls are fine. The sim works fine in other phones, and other network sims work fine in the IQ. Tried both the SP5 rom and the 8310 with no luck. In call options it doesnt have the service centre numbers, but if I try and change it, it doesnt save just goes blank every time.
I would revert to the O2 rom but cant find that anywhere! I have all original CDs with the IQ I find it disgusting they dont provide the ROM. That would be like buying a PC from the shop with a windows CD!
Try to call/ask Orange Customer Service then ask for their Text Messages Center Number..write it down. Then on your phone, navigate to Start - Settings - Phone - Call Options - Text Messages Service Center, then enter the number that the Orange Rep gave to you.
That's the problem of sim being not compatible with the rom.
U need the latest rom from orange 2.0.14.0 for spv c600, on this rom this problem is solved by orange, but I don't think you would be happy with it.
Hi
I purchased my new phone a little while ago now, its an unlocked phone but was orignally on orange, I'm using a pay as you go o2 sim card in it. I found all setting for this and everything works, mms, email, IE, and GPS.
The only thing im having slight trouble with is the balance of the phone, when I send a txt or use the phone to ring some one the balance is displayed in a little message box at the top, when I ring the number 4444 I can hear the balance but the most useful feature is being able to type *#10* and view the balance. at the top in the msgbox. Anyone with a o2 will know what im talking about. When I type this number in all I get is failed and not the balance. Now I wrote to o2 about this and they said that it was basically because I had an unlocked phone and it wouldn't pick this number up. I already kind of knew this, but they provided no tech. settings, files to change etc to change this. Is there any one who knows how to get round this problem and the steps that I should take.
I guess firstly that flashing the phone to the stellars firmware would get rid of this problem, (cross fingers.) is there any reg hacks or anything like that which could be used, I do with some expert help here.
TIA

Hey all,
Not sure if anyone has run into this, or has an idea on it so I figured this would be a good place to ask.
I have a G1 with JFv1.31 on it, and recently ported a number over to replace the number I had on the phone. After a few days, inbound calls and texts are correctly going to the phone at the new number, and outbound texts and calls show the new number correctly in the from/CID.
However, in Settings -> About phone -> Status, the old number is still shown under "Phone number". After doing some reading, this is the number that's used to auto login to T-Mobile hotspots, and will cause issues still showing the old number there. As far as I've read, this is generally changed by an OTA from T-Mobile, which I imagine won't work on my rooted G1.
I've tried wiping the phone, but the old number is still there. If this can be changed via an OTA update, I would imagine it's possible to change myself since I have root access - the only question is where and how? Has anyone ran into this or came across where this data is kept?
Any help's appreciated.
Thanks,
-Dan

I ran into this myself, but I'm not sure how to change it on the g1 itself. I just threw it in my old razr to change it

Thanks for the response. Unfortunately I had switched from Verizon to T-Mobile to get the G1, so I don't have any other phones that use SIM cards. Were you able to make the change on your Razr yourself after switching the SIM or did you have T-Mobile send an update to change it?
Thanks,

I was able to do it myself. There's a way to change it lurking somewhere in the settings on the razr. I couldn't tell you where for the life of me though. It took me a little bit to find it when I tried.
I bought a Samsung Jack i637 about a month ago
All the incoming calls show as Unknown. I put in my SIM card to my old Motorola Q9h (with WM5.1) and it displayed perfectly.
I have tried bunch of things here on the forum but never found a solution that works. An word on how to do it?
thanks
Bump. I've scoured internet for a week now.
Paying $20 via paypal to whoever gets me the solution
I too got a AT&T Samsung Jack last week (and I am also on Rogers) and some of my numbers show up as "unknown" too...but not all of them. I have observed that till now all the international incoming numbers are showing up as "unknown". Previously on my HTC Touch (with cooked ROM) all these numbers showed up without any problems. A couple people on Rogers are showing up as unknown too. But majority of my contacts show up just fine.
I have not seen any solution for this anywhere yet either. BTW I upgraded my ROM to Windows mobile 6.5 and its still the same.
UPDATED
I´ve just been using the HTC ONE X for about 4 days and I´ve been receiving hundreds of repeated msgs from my carrier. They say "Vivo RJ 21" (Vivo is the carrier, RJ stands for Rio de Janeiro...the city, and 21 is the area code for Rio de Janeiro). I´ve already tried several factory resets with no luck. I´ve also tried a micro sim card from a different carrier and I kept receiving the same msg (except for the carrier name). I´ve received other regular msgs from my carrier and from other people that were not repeated. It´s just this one.
What are my options here????
Do you still have the same number ported over? If so then maybe it might be a glitch in there system. If not then it might be spam from the poor person before you. Either way either get a block on that or call carrier to stop it.
The worst part is that I cannot even block this number because whenever I try to add the number to the Mr.Number app it tells me to add a valid number. The number is only 2 digits...it´s 50
Looks like it would be best to either call them or go in store and ask them to test the phone. Sounds more like a software hiccup, but who know? Hope you don't have to receive that many texts tomorrow
But do you guys think there is a chance this could be phone related?
I might just try to get a micro-sim to sim card adapter and test it another phone to see if it still happens.
Its a broadcast message
U can stop it in message setting
It will not harm u
Press thanks
Or u can give me ur one x as a gift
How do I stop that in settings? I´ve tried everything and I don´t think it´s that simple.
It must be getting close to 200 messages.
Just go to your carrier already! Or if nothing works, then do a barrel roll~
Don´t you think I would have gone to the carrier if it wasn´t closed during the weekends! I´ve already called them 3 times and they did different things. The last thing they did I was supposed to wait 24h.
What is a barrel roll?
Can you remove the SIM and use the phone without it? If not then try finding some other app that blocks numbers... maybe one that supports blocking operator numbers?
as said before carrier messages can be blocked...I'm assuming a battery pull did nothing?

Ok, just let me know how. So far I´ve tried about 7 differente text/spam blockers apps and none has worked.
The HTC One X´s batt cannot be removed.
Do you have message settings
Just check there might be option of broadcast message
Keep our forum clean
I do have message settings but there are no options there that would help me with this (only stuff like notification types, signature, forward to email, etc).
Today I´m going to the store where I got the micro sim card to have it changed. I REALLY hope it works because it would be a real shame if this was the HTC One X and not the micro sim card.
When I go to "about the phone", then "network" it shows:
operator name - unkown
signal strenght - 0
mobile network type - unkown
service state - radio off
roaming - not roaming
Nonetheless I can make and receive calls, send and receive text msgs, navigate, etc. The only issue is really the operator msgs informing my city area code over and over again.
I went to the carrier and got a new micro sim and did a factory reset WITH the micro sim card inside the phone. The date above got populated. I will wait to see if I will get anymore msgs but I think this might be it.
I´ve tried with a micro sim card from a different carrier and the problem persists. This is phone related for sure. I really don´t know what else to do...maybe try a different rom other then the stock?
I´ve called HTC again and they instructed me to do the following:
-> "settings", "call" and then disable the option "cell broadcast".
So far no msgs. Lets wait and see.
