My husband recently gota new phone and asked O2 to transfer his old number to it. When I send him a text he receives it but his replies come to me in a different thread and from a different number. Can anyone explain why this is happening and is there anything I can do about it?

He needs to go to Settings >Phone >My Number and edit it to his number, save and reboot phone.
