Phone Number in Start > Settings > Phone

I've got a bit of a problem...
Start > Settings > |Personal| > Phone*
At the top of the screen there's the title "Phone - 0612945678"
That number is fictional, but the problem isn't. The number it's showing is not my number. It is *similar* to my other phone's number, but off by one digit.
My question is - how can I change the number that's shown there?
I did a quick search in the registry for "0612945678" (though the actual number shown, of course ), and it found nothing.
Any thoughts ?

this no is stored on th sim, you need to start sim manger, tools, list own numbers, then click on line1 and you should be able to edit it

this number is from the sim, but phone app does not always want to update is, especially with a sim-switcher this is noticable.

Had to do a soft-reset, but other than that it updated fine after I changed it - thanks

I have the same problem.
Sim Manager > Tools > List own numbers... => There is no item in the listbox here. Here is empty. No number to edit.
Still the default phone number in Phone Settings is different from my phone number? Any suggestions?

[Q] Serial Number?

I know that it ICS is being released and it has not been pushed out to all, but I noticed that the serial number under About Tablet -> Status is not the same as the s/n for the sticker. Do I need to worry about not getting ICS because of a serial mismatch like the Prime users?

No. Your serial number is not in your 'about tablet' section, that is your firmware version, different thing entirely.

I know that it is the firmware when you go to the about tablet, but from there I click on Status and it lists the Battery status, Battery Level, IP, MAC Address, Bluetooth , Serial Number and Uptime. So this serial number doesn't match the sticker on my tablet?

That is the device's unique ID number, that isn't the same thing as the serial number (B70KAS9082734 etc, whereas the number in the status is hexidecimal, not manufacturing date codes). That is the device ID number that you would get in an ADB shell or something, to identify multiple devices from one another..disregard.

Thanks. I guess will will patiently wait

[Q] Phone Number Unknown

Looking at:
Settings > About Phone > Status, Phone Number is "Unknown"
Searching other forms, some have added an option to the settings to workaround the issue.
I am traveling abroad. With every new country, I have a new SIM and a new number. Any advice or suggested ROM that has a fix for Phone Number "Unknown"?

Why my S8+ G955F does not show the SN (Serial Number)?

When I try to find the SN of my Galaxy s8 + (G955F) I can not find it by dialing * # 06 # or in the settings, the device information shows something that is not the SN. Can someone who knows the subject help me?

It's right there the circled numbers. That's your serial number.

If the serial number is not the same as on the box that it came with the device, then it's not.

According to Z3X Tool the circled numbers of the image is the Unique Number, not serial number, I do not know why it shows it instead of the serial, also on the back of my cell phone it shows another one that is the same as the box mobile phone.

i have S8+ G955FD Dual Sim & my phone show both IMEI & SN number i don't know why your phone not showing SN number in box maybe samsung change it not to show in IMEI box for your model or maybe there is a bug case this

Can I correct my IMEI with Device ID Changer?

My phone has stopped logging to mobile network recently and I have found out it has incorrect IMEI number: 350000000000006.
I would like to change it to the correct number that is printed on the phone cover.
I have rooted the phone, installed Xposed and Device ID Changer Pro. The app says the number has been modified and displays correct one, but when I use *#06# it still displays incorrect IMEI as above. Also logging to mobile networks is still not active.
The phone is Galaxy S6, Android 7.0. It has been purchased some 2 years ago as used phone. I suppose I should contact the seller but I don't think I can reach him any more.
Does anybody know why there is mismatch between what Device ID Changer shows compared to *#06#?

Take note that Android's Device ID ( to be correct: ANDROID_ID ) isn't same as IMEI: 2 totally different things.
FYI:
Android_ID is a 64-bit quantity that is generated and stored when the device first boots. ANDROID_ID is not unique for an Android device, it even can be NULL.
The IMEI number is your Android device's own identification number - what contains origin, model, and serial number. There isn't one device that has the same IMEI number as another device

I understand that. Device ID changer gives an option to update both, and a few more.
One more question: should I be able to request Samsung to revert the IMEI to the original one?

No.
You can't fix IMEI using the app.
You can just spoof ID using the app.
