Settings >Phone >My Number. Change it to jewellery number then press Save at the top right of the screen. O2 don't write numbers to sim cards so it cannot be changed by the network.

Can you send txt and receive calls and so on might need a new SIM card with new number on as I know the number is like tied to the SIM serial number

Hi @nevzy31

Is this just a number change on an existing sim? If so you need to keep rebooting the phone and if there is no change, give customer services a call https://www.o2.co.uk/contactus

(They may want to send you a new sim)

If it's already a new sim then this may help https://www.o2.co.uk/help/phones-sims-and-devices/activating-your-sim
