In settings - about phone - status - my phone number it says unknown. On my old Xperia Z my phone number was listed there. Z3 works completely normal. Phone calls, SMS, data... No problem. Do you have your phone number listed in status or have some of you also encountered the same issue? I don't know if it is a problem or not. One guy who has the same problem and is on the same carrier got new nano sim card but problem was not solved. Then carrier reset his card without success, phone number is still not listed. Is that a real problem or should I just ignore it?

My number is listed there, and I'm guessing it's no big deal if it isn't. But I might be wrong though, never thought much about it. Please correct me if I am ?
I dont see it as being an issue what so ever but as for why it is not showing there. . . . . . . . . .I have no idea! Mine says unknown too
I think it's the new TMobile SIMs. No big issue, newer SIMs just aren't storing the phone number on them.
No number shown on o2 in the UK, maybe a broader issue.

Using a newer SIM Card? I can check my wife's when she gets home (she's still using her BB Curve 8330 Sim Card) but I switched to a new SIM card.
My T-Mobile number shows, however its not an issue if it doesn't, your phone will work fine on your network.
It is only reading a field called the MSISDN on the SIM which is not really used for anything useful. It varies from carrier to carrier as to whether they populate this field.

Mine is being shown; EE in the UK.
works for me too! I'm on 3 UK
Dom, can you open contacts app and look for a contact called 'Myself'? Its automatically generated by the phone.
It also should have your mobile number in it.
If it doesn't then its either SIM/Provider issue. Try replacing the SIM with a new one.

In a full T-Mobile coverage area I lost the signal. When I attempt to connect it says this sim can't be used on the network? Factory reset and It's still the same.

Could use more info
But, have you called tmobile and see if they can change towers to reconnect you or get a new sim
did you pull sim
check your apn settings
are you ok on wifi
Go into Settings / Mobile network / Network Operators / Select Automatically.
it will say searching for network and it will register on T mobile's network. after that you should have Voice / Data
Happened to me Once (or twice, cant remember) on my HTC Sensation
assumed OP already tried that--hope so--

I haven't called T-Mobile yet, just got home.
Wifi works, I opened this thread over WiFi.
I don't get a signal at all, so I don't think this is an APN problem.

I tried that and rebooted. I put my sim in a Motorola Defy, and it works perfectly. I'm about to call T-Mobile and the guy I bought it from.
Here's a picture of what it says after I tried the Select Automatically:

I purchased it on eBay, so I can always open a case.
The rep confirmed it was blocked today Now to call the seller and more than likely open a case.
I was going to say "sims die", get a new one, but a lot of recent posts lead me to say "don't buy a phone on ebay unless you are prepared for it to be stolen and blocked".
yeah, i would never do that. maybe craigslist where i can locally pu and try
but, it is what it is and hope the OP gets it sorted
Now what :beer::what:

huh i don't get it
The seller was very nice, I'm shipping it back today. I purchased it from Discount Wireless in IL. They probably bought it used, and someone reported it stolen.
Glad it's working out--

I would think it might stop when it gets to the part about needing to configure for a carrier. Are you downloading a carrier (ATT, etc) based update?

I download the automaticly update i dont know what is it exactly.
I bought it from china and i live in Greece. Maybe this is the problem
Tomorrow i will put a sim and i will update the thread.
Thanks for the fast reply
It's most likely a Hong Kong model if you bought it from China, but you might still need to have a SIM inserted for it to carry through with the update.

Not Working with SIM inside
I just tried the update with SIM on but the same....
Any solution?
Same issue!
I have the same phone and when updating the software 10 days ago had the same issue. I have tried everything - including the factory reset suggested by HTC - and the phone will now only go as far as the beats audio splash screen. It hangs there forever, generating vast amounts of heat and nothing else!
After a very snotty email to customer services, I have been offered a free check - even though the phone's just out of warranty - if I spend 80RM to send it to Kuala Lumpur?!
If it gets resolved, I'll let you know...but I'm not holding my breath... I seem to have a ery expensive light-up paper weight now...
Sorry for my poor English first.
I am currently in New Zealand. I bought a Galaxy S4 from an online retailer two weeks ago. The phone was actually shipped from a provider in Hong Kong.
The first thing I did after I received the phone was checking the IMEI number. The IMEI number on the case was consistent with that on white label in battery cell. However, when I tapped *#06# it showed a strange IMEI which was 004999010640000. The phone kept showing "NOT REGISTERED ON NETWORK“ though it could find the network.
I've tried simcard of different companies.
I've tried to select network manually in both wcdma and gsm network.
NONE of these works.
To me it seems like a bug caused by damaged EFS file, but I DIDN'T FALSH ANY ROM OR FIRMWARE ON THIS NEW PHONE.
Then I returned my phone to the retailer. At first, they admitted their fault and promised to have me a brand new replacement. Then, they started to question me about if I had break the interior needle of SIM card slot which I had no idea what that was. The explanation they gave, which sounds none-sense to me, was because SIMCARD in AUS/NZ is thicker, that interior needle of SIM card slot was damage somehow by improper operation. In another words, I have to pay to fix this brand new phone.
My question is, how would such a simcard slot problem, if there is one, change the IMEI showing on my phone?
Bro your not supposed to show your ime no. To anyone

The 004999 number is the fake one displayed on my phone. Thanks for noticing anyway

Yes, it will not change your IMEI, the reason you are not getting network, is because its a fake imei, read this and threaten to sue them by giving you a defective unit and further trying to con you that its due to a broken SIM pin. Better make a police report if they fail to change it.

I've just noticed this icon appear next to "Mobile" for each contact in my Contacts app. It looks light gray with my theme and has a SIM-card-looking picture in it. Anyone know what this means?
Do you get a different icon for someone when a call comes from a number you've set as "Home" by chance?
If not, I'm wondering if it's saying that contact info is stored on the phone/SIM card instead of Google

No, setting the number as "Home" or "Work" does not change the icon. I also selected to browse only the contacts on the SIM card and on the device, neither of which has any contacts. These contacts are on my Google account only. This is definitely a "SIM card" icon, though I'm not sure why it's showing for all of the contacts.
I think it's for dual sim card phones. is my guess mine changes from an number 1 to a number 2 depending on which sim card the call came in on

I don't know if it is the same problem as I have had in the past, But
Not all sim card have your phone number saved to them.
What I had to do was put my sim card into my daughter's iPhone and save my phone number back to my own sim card, and then my own phone could see my number.
Google search should tell you how to do that. Good Luck. It's well past time that android should have added that!
What?
Settings/About phone/Phone number (sim slot 1)
Settings/About phone/Phone number (sim slot 2)
If it doesn't show, reboot your phone.

You could ask a local mobile phone shop just to check your number is saved to your sim card. I think most would help.

Call your provider and work it through with them. They'll need the IMEI from the phone or the box you got it in. They need to register that IMEI with your phone number. It happened to me with my eSim and finally they figured it out but it took the second tier support guy.

I called operator. They say its activated properly from their side. I replaced sim. Still the pixel 6a is showing my sim as unknown although all services like call in/out, sms in/out and internet is working fine. Even the person whom I am ringing is getting my number correctly. Its just the phone and its strange why it is showing other sim number when inserted but not this number
