So me and a friend just realised we have the same phone number. We’ve tried texting each other and we just text ourselves. We’re BOTH with O2 except I moved my number over from vodafone years ago. She’s had the number for Just over a year. How has this happened? Also we’re both on contract.

It's not possible.

If one of you has an iPhone you need to check your number in Settings >Phone >My number as this can give issues with messages.

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.

Pixel 7a (O2 & Lyca), One Plus 6 (Sfr), iPhone 12 Pro Max (Vodafone)

It's not possible to have the same number. There must a problem with the settings of one or both of the phones.

My phone is fine I can tell you. I’ve had this number for literally years. When we call each other it obviously doesn’t go through. Straight to beeps

@TylerRiver I agree with the others that it isn't possible, but if you think you're correct, then you both need to speak to customer service.

With both phones active, what happens when a 3rd phone, mobile or land-line, tries to call you, or your friend's mobile number, @TylerRiver
