Hello Aden41,


It sounds like your mom's phone number appears on your iPhone. We understand how important this is to you and we are here to help.


The phone number that is used with the iPhone is from the SIM card insert onto the device. You would need to us another SIM card with your phone number in order for you iPhone to use another number. This article should help: Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPhone or iPad


If you are seeing her phone number somewhere else, can you be more specific as to where you see her phone number? Are you sharing an Apple ID with your mom or do you use your own? Also, which iPhone and iOS version are you currently using?


Cheers!
