Hello, I recently transferred my number over and when I text some people get the new 02 number but I do not want appearing, I’d like them to see original number which I called and transferred over which I've had for years

Hi @Apsrefurbs 

What phone have you got and where did you transfer from?

Text messages are often the last to port over.

Reboot your phone and if you still have issues then contact O2. All numbers are in this guide

Also check this guide and see if it helps. (Check your message centre number)

Maybe @Korey01 may be able to help when he comes online at 11am?

@Apsrefurbs 

Go to Settings >Phone > My Number and edit it to your correct number.

Save the number, then reboot your 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.

If you get this sorted, would you mind popping back to this thread to explain the solution?

We will then know what to advise anyone with a similar issue.

Many thanks.
