Hi,
I have got an iPhone 4S on the 14th and just transferred my number from my old network with my PAC code. Problem is, in settings>phone>my number: the number listed is the temp one that was used whilst waiting on my PAC code transferring! On the old iOS versions all you had to do was tap on "My Number" and it would allow it to be changed. This does not seem to work on the iPhone 4S with iOS 5.
iPhone 4S-OTHER, iOS 5
Hi,
I just had the same issue with my new iPhone 4S purchased fromApple in the UK. Ported my old number from02 to Three Mobile, but iTunes and settings -> phone -> My Number stillshow the temp number supplied by 3 Mobile prior to the transfer. Power cycling and re-syncing with iTunes madeno difference.
My old iPhone 3GS (IOS 4.3) and a friends iPhone 4 (IOS 5)still appear to allow this field to be edited, but not on the 4S.
Fixed the issue by doing:
Hope this helps!

Hi Oz,
Thanks for your reply and suggestion, I have tried this code and it doesn't work 😟
I rang Three today and explained what steps I'd done to try and fix this, they said they will call me back tomorrow and let me know if there is anything else they can suggest.
Thanks once again, Jamie
Hi Jo,
If I can't get this fixed by the weekend I might pop into a Three store and see if they can help/swap my SIM.
I think Apple should make it so you can edit your number, I seem to remember this was possible in previous versions of iOS...
Jamie
Anyone found a fix for this?
Fixed it sim swap just got 3 to give me a new micro sim as soon as the new one activated worked fine
I had a great call from Three Customer Services today, who in turn put me through to AppleCare.
It's been deduced that I need to change my SIM, so I'm going to a Three Store tomorrow.
Will let you know what happens when I get my new SIM.
Jamie
It will work Jamie just takes ages to activate. Did mine at 12pm and it activated at about 7.45pm
Thanks for the headsup Breacher18, I will give it some time.
Hi
New sim card worked - hurrah
Hi there, that's great news to hear that a new SIM fixes the problem. Can you tell me, did you go to a store for your new SIM? I tried to get one over the phone with Customer Services but they keep telling me to Restore, something I have tried numerous times... it doesn't fix it!
You need to go to the store. I went to 3 and said can I have a new sim they got my details up said I'd that your number and then scanned the new sim.
Brilliant, well as soon as my iPhone has finished restoring I'll nip to a store and get a new SIM.
Will let you know how I get on.
Regards, Jamie.
Got my new SIM from a Three Store at about 3pm today and it has just moved over and everything is fixed and working as it should.
Thanks everyone for all your input.
Thank. I almost reset the phone. Saved by your solution
