My number on SIM

[Anonymous]

How the heck do I get my phone number to show up on my SIM?

If I do the About Phone - Status bit the My Number bit just says unknown.

I have an app that needs to SIM to know what my number is.

How do I get it on the SIM?

Hi.

Which phone are you using ?

Your O2 mobile number will already be on the SIM card and I assume your making outbound calls and taking inbounds calls fine.

We really do need to know what phone you are using before we can help you

It's a Galaxy S4.

I had a new SIM with the phone to support 4G but kept my number.

When I launch the app it says my phone is programmed with an empty number!

Have you performed the swapmysim procedure ?

http://swapmysim.o2.co.uk

This moves your number and tariff from one SIM card to another and takes around 24 hrs to settle but is typically quicker.

This procedure is undertaken if a person has a faulty SIM card, moving from one sized sim to another or is upgrading to a 4g compliant sim.

Once carried out the old SIM card is de activated.

I believe so.

The phone itself works fine.

Just that no number shows in the my number field.

To be honest I have exactly the same with my S4 (and with my S3 and S2 before that).

Never did find out why

Is their something like you need to go into
Contacts - More Options - Special numbers - My Numbers, and edit or add your number from there or something similar.

Or You can try this first Contacts - Menu - More Settings - Own Numbers

Or


I have read forums on how to do this, there was a solution You can try this Contacts - Menu - More Settings - Own numbers

Hi you cannot add your own number to the sim on an s4 my note 3 is the same it's a limitation in the phones software I'm afraid

I have had a look and cannot see any option to add the number to the phone.

I have the number in as a contact but that does not associate it with the SIM it seems.

The FAQ for the app says others that have had the problem got their provider to do this - Send MSISDN to SIM.  Not sure if that is just america though.  😞
