Why won't my iPhone number change?
I've recently upgraded my phone to an iPhone 5.It has a different sim in it and so a different number, however I was told that after a day, my number would change back to my old one which it hasn't. I've tried changing it manually but it won't work. Need help!
You will be using a nano sim in your new phone. I presume you requested to retain your original number. It is a simple matter for your network provider to migrate your number to your new sim. Since this hasn't happened you should contact your provider.
You can't change your number at handset level.
- Why is my iPhone number being displayed wrongly on my number? My number is X, but on "my number" settings, it's being displayed number Y. Why is that? Also, some people told me that when I call or text them, the number Y is appearing to them, not the number X as it should. On the other hand, if I call the number X, my iPhone rings normally, but the same thing doesn't happen when I call number Y.
- Why is mobile sending number different to my number? I recently bought an Iphone and did a sim swap so I could keep my phone number. Everything has been ok. However, when I send an imessage it shows the recipient a different number to mine. I don't think this happens when I send a SMS. Presumably it's the original number for the new sim? Why is this?
- Why do my text bubbles sometimes change color on the same number? I understand that it's blue when using iMessaging and texting between iproducts, and green for standard SMS messaging. However, when I text a friend of mine with an iPhone, while most of the time the text shows up as blue, occasionally it shows up as green. Is there a reason for this?
- Switching number from Verizon to Straighttalk AT&T. How to keep my old number? Right now, I have a Verizon noncontract phone. I'm buying an iPhone 4 from a friend which is on the Straighttalk AT&T micro sim plan. I'm moving to the Straighttalk AT&T plan and need to know how to get my number changed over and where to get a new micro SIM card from.
