How to change my number on my iphone?

How do I change my number on my Iphone? I'm sure it's not easy

The deal is that YOU Can't change the number.

However, your Service Provider will do it if you simply request it.

You could try putting this question on the search bar and it rnight give you directions on how to do it

That isn't done on your phone, you need to contact your cellular provider and request a number change.

Contact your carrier for a number change. Only they can change your number. Some carriers might charge you, while others do it for free.

Install a different SIM card.

Check with your carrier about that

You couldn't simply go onto settings on the iPhone and change it i'm afraid. You would have to talk to your carrier about changing your number.

Only your service provider can do this for you

UPDATE: I don't understand the thumbs down on this answer - obviously another way to change the number is to use a second sim - some phones have the ability to use 2 sims.

You can talk to your service provider.

  • 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?
