You can't, on the phone itself as the MDM is not configuarable.

As perskie says, some old Nokia's and Sony's allow you to write to that area of the sim and some O2 shops will do it for you but it makes no difference to the operation of the phone.

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

That is the number stored on the sim but it shouldn't matter.

 

You would have to put the sim in an old Sony or similar phone to change it which is hardly worth the hassle.

You're welcome, it seems silly that it can't be done on the phone but there you go! 🙂
