Hello, I tried to change my phone number on sprints site to a new one. For some reason my phone would not accept this new number. Is there a way to manually enter the number into the phone with a dialer code? I have the MSID(IMSI) it gave me after I did the switch. Any help? Thanks
You cannot just choose a New Number. A new number will be randomly assigned to you. Check THIS see if it helps you out.

I ported my old Orange number onto my TMobile contract. All seems to have worked correctly, apart from the fact that my TP still displays the temporary TMobile number in Start/Settings/Phone. Is there any way I can change that?
I've spoken to TMobile CS, and they reckon it can't be changed, and all phones do that. I'm sure in the past when I've ported a number it's been displayed correctly (been a long time so I'm not 100%).
There is no such number on mine at Start/Settings/Phone. I use Vodafone. Where is this number?
It's the very first thing on the 'Phone' tab, right at the top. It says 'Phone - ' then my number in international format. It's not an editable field, just a label.
There is no way to change it as that number is hardcoded into the SIM, To be honest that is actually still your number, when people call your ported in number it is in a way call diverted to your true number, it is transparent process from the point of view of end users, but in the background that is what it is doing.

I too thought that this was the case, but it IS possible to change the phone number displayed and here's how.
People->All People
Menu->SIM Manager
Menu->Tools->List of Own Numbers
Then Edit the top one which is your phone number.

Cool, I never realised
Cool but mine cannot be saved. When I close sim manager, it 's gone.
Hmm, I'll probably end up with the same situation from october 6, when I port my orange to Tmobile. The sim already provided, has a different number
I'll be *****ing about that in the Tmobile shop if I can't resolve that for sure....

Excellent. I needed to switch off/on, but it worked a treat.
This issue is concerning the G1 phone.
I recently downloaded an app named, Visual VoiceMail. Its supposed to be somekind of interactive list of all the voicemail I recieve, where I can interact and organize by hand on touch screen compared to calling my voicemail and deleting or saving any of my messages by touchtone.
In order for this app to work I must fill out a free registration form that includes my telephone number.
My issue is, Im not sure if they want the telephone number of my phone (I assume they do) or my voicemail telephone number. Neither phone numbers worked.
I cant figure out why either of these numbers wont work for the registration. Every time I enter in a number and try to sumbit I recieve a notice that says, "!! Registration Failed, Unable to determine this devices phone number."
I went to settings, about phone, my phone number. There was no number listed under 'my phone number' and i dont know why that is.
If anyone has any information on how i can make this app work, or how to fix the status of 'my phone number' so it does have an actual phone number (at this moment there isnt an option to edit 'my phone number') it would be greatly appreciated. thank you.
So Ive been using my HTC Ozone (6.5 Standard, 3VO rom) for a while in israel, and the way the cellular network works is as follows:
country code is +972
the number that shows up on an incoming call is 052-555-5555.
The number that shows up on an incoming text is +972-52-555-5555.
The number that shows up on an outgoing call when dialing without the country code (aka 052-555-5555) is +972-052-555-5555.
All of these differences mean that if I have a number saved in the contact manager (in only one of the above forms), it isnt displayed 2/3rds of the time. If i send a text to ME(052-555-5555), the reply comes back from an unsaved number, in a new thread is +972-52-555-5555.
Is there a way for me to just save the base number (052-555-5555), and have the phone's contact manager realize that its the same number is the +92 equivalent? My current workround is saving all the forms of a number to a contact, but 1. its tedium to go through all my contacts and do this, and 2. you can only save so many numbers to a contact, which means im screwed if the contact has two different numbers.
I see all these fields in the "current country" setting, but I have no idea what they mean, or if that is even the solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hey , i got the same problem on my Omnia 2 with windows mobile version 6.5
The local incoming call won't show the country code, and sms does the opposite way.
check through all my phone setting, can not find any related option for this.
Thanks for anyone can provide a resolution.
i just resolved my problem. hope this way can help you as well.
get a regedit software on your windows mobile phone.
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Phone
under it, you should able to see a key name "CallIdMatch", change the value to maybe 8 or 9, which means it will match the last 8 or 9 numbers for each incoming call or sms. (use decimal) after the changing, reboot your phone.
Wow, it worked!!
Thanks a lot man!
thanks for the tip jason_ma!
i was also wondering about it.
Anyone know how to edit CalIidMatch an an HTC hero
Anyone else yave this problem? On some stored numbers in my contacts when i click on the person it dials an m0111 befoe the regular number. But when i look at the contact before i press call the correct regular number is there. Its only when i hit call it tacks that on. The contacts are verizon numbers also. Ok the M is normal as it means mobile number that is being called. The last 1 in the 0111 is the start of the area code. Ex 1-201-52*-****. I called the verizon and they said it is trying to dial international for some reason....they want me to hard reset i said no im not doing that yet.
I am aware that Phone numbers get reassigned once they get disconnected or go inactive.
Is there a way/service that will tell you the history behind your phone number?
Like if its been assigned to someone else or who had it before you?
Kinda like a background check for your phone number?
Im trying to locate a lost friend and the phone number I have for him doesn't appear to be his/not working anymore.
Any help is appreciated.
