Phone not displaying mobile number

[sam142000]

In About phone-> Status the phone is supposed to display the mobile number.
I have recently changed my number from Airtel to Vodafone, but my mobile is not showing the new number. It used to show the earlier Airtel number perfectly.

Please help!!

Its hasn't worked for me since I change network provider and number. It still displays the original number the phone came with.

Do you know anyone with a blackberry?
if so, put yout sim in it then go into settings options advanced sim (something like that) and enter your phone number in there. swap sims back over and hey presto!

In my case it doesn't show any number, it displays Phone Number-> Unknown.

Earlier it automatically detected my mobile number, without the need for a blackberry.

I've never had my number shown on any phone I've had.

but GalaxyS2 is supposed to show your number in the "about phone" settings.
It showed my earlier number.

To be honest it never really bothered me as I've always known my number. But since there's an easy enough way to sort it I might as well

Doesnt matter if it says no number, unknown, or a wrong number. the blackberry trick will work for you.

I've heard some apps (but not sure which) actually use the information in there, so it can be quite important to put right

if you need to see your number go to Contacts, Menu, then My Profile!
