MEID # missing last digit IMEI # fine - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Flashed the new LiquidSmooth ROM over the old one after a good wipe.
Turned phone back on and would hang at an activating screen, I'd just exit out.
I then noticed I couldn't send MMS and my voicemail number was something like 000-000-8273.
So went dialer>settings and entered my VM number in. Rebooted. Voicemail works,MMS works but I noticed my MEID # is missing the last digit. My IMEI number has 15 digits my MEID has 14 ..does this matter? I haven't found anything other than that wrong with the phone.

I had the same thing with Liquidsmooth. No problems though.
Flashed to another rom and the IMEI returned back to normal.
Don't think you have to do anything unless you have problems receiving and calling people, texting, etc.

my MEID is one digit short as well and it works perfectly fine

Changing my phone number

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....

if you dial your own number from the phone, it will also get you to VM

[Q] ICS Update works but Caller ID always shows Unknown?

Ok so I've done two flashes today and both have come up with the same result, my caller ID shows Unknown name, Unknown number for all calls??
Here is the ICS rom I'm running now but I can't post in that forum because I'm a newb.
Has anyone else seen this yet? Or have I done something wrong? I have searched and can't find anything specific to this phone.
Also, if I go back to the original Gingerbread the numbers come up as they are supposed to.
Sorry, please ignore this... got home and tried with a different number and it's working now?
Delete this thread at will
I'm actually seeing this as well - sort of. When a contact calls, it displays caller ID correctly. When someone not in my contacts calls it shows up as unknown. HOWEVER, my Any.DO app has functionality for missed calls (you can add a missed call to your task list to call later or ignore) and when that pops up I see the phone number of who called.
Weird...
when you go home, you probably connect to your home wi-fi. the app only works and does a "reverse lookup" whenever a data connection is working properly.
however, if the data of location is already stored on your contacts from previous SUCCESSFUL data reverse lookups, your phone will pull that information first if no data connection is available.
Strange... so I flashed the Alien ROM last night and all was good nunbers all worked etc. So just for kicks I've flashed back to the ATT rom and it's not working again.
all numbers just come up as Unknown (no number at all, just the word Unknown). I'm wondering if it simply takes some time for the networks to sync or something?
I'm gonna leave it on for a while and let you know what happens.

Are you using the built-in City ID app? cuz if so, it still requires a DATA connection.!! Wi-fi or Data. Without it, it will return "unknown". UNLESS it has been manually entered and/or retrieved from a previous session....
are you not understanding? I felt like I just repeated myself lol.

Thanks for that... I do have a data connection, both WIFI and 4G/LTE from my provider...It still doesn't work. I have no idea what you mean by a "City ID" app. Is there something I've missed?
I should also mention that this has NOTHING to do with my contacts. ANY call either a number I have in my contacts or a number that is not in my contacts, neither show up at all. When I get a phone call the screen goes black and I see the word UNKNOWN at the top and then the answer or hang up buttons at the bottom.
i am also facing the same issue
Found a reason behind the problem in another forum, have a look here
Its not the perfect solution but it does work and it means you have to call Rogers.

Naw that doesn't work for me, I don't have name display. It does that regardless, unless I spoof tbe caller id and then I work fine. I think rogers has a specific format that they detect for caller id and if it doesn't match then you get nothing.
I can't share how to spoof caller id because I have my VoIP company and so there certain things that I can do which otherwise isn't doable.
Basically the phone that's calling has to format the number in international calling string. +1 999 999 9999
Or the receiving phone has to change it to that since caller id works as a two step thing.

Missing Phone Calls

My wife's phone is missing phone calls on ocassion, I have tried just about everything to fix it.
Her phones has stock JB with root right now - has up to date bootloader and JB baseband for the I9020a which is her phone type. We are using AT&T. I tried changing her APN settings and deleting them and restoring them. IMEI is the right one also. Changed the sim chip also, just in case.
Any thoughts on what is going on?
i noticed it too, a friend said she called me and i dint pick up, but when i saw my call log i dont see any missed calls

Problem in pulling up contacts by dialling numbers only pulls up by name....

I have installed cm 14.1 recently and the problem am facing is that whenever I try to dial any unknown number from call history it never show up. Actually it never pulls up contacts from dialling number I can only or have to type name, if contact is saved. Else, have to scroll through the whole list to look for the number. I tried everything almost but failed to fix. This is the same issue with my friend using Lineage 14.1 on redminote 3. Suppose I got a call from some unknown number 2-3 days ago and I remember that there was 567 in that number and when I try to dial it won't come up. It only looks for saved numbers. I have also tried all the dialers and there is some else going on.
