Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
A few weeks ago I got this message on my phone when I went into the Messaging App. Which seems strange to me that my phone doesn't know my number.
In any event I put in my number.
Well today it started doing it again.
Anybody else have this going on? Know what it is about?
Did you reboot your iPhone or anything of the sort prior to it self-righting?

I'm not sure. I did do a restore from backup the other day, but I think that it had fixed itself before then. I may have also just restarted.
This has been happening to me about once a month or so. So maybe I'll let you know if August!
The last time I got the message, I put a 1 in front of the area code and phone number and haven't seen it since. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I have a US phone number though. :)
Please make note of it here if it happens again.
I will also.
I ended up missing a very important meeting due to a message not sent because my son's phone decided to put up this message (and wasn't seen) after he thought an iMessage had been sent...

hmmmm. Still a possible valid departure point that the iPhone, on ATT at least, does seem to require the 1 in all US numbers...
Thanks Dan, Rothrock

Unfortunately, that didn't help either. I still got the message this morning.
I have an AT&T MicroCell at home too, which may make my situation a bit different from the norm. Anyone else use these?
Ahhhh well, it was a good thought and try.
Anyone else having this problem?
Rothrock, havs your iPhone stopped having the problem?

This happened to me today. This must be a bug that Apple has to fix. I had been texting and iMessaging fine all day. At home, phone automatically logins to my WIFI and I got a text, when I unlocked the phone (no pw) The pop up message showed up.
MMS Messaging Requires your Phone Number
Press Settings to go to Phone Settings and enter your phone number.
Clicked on settings and y phone number was set as "unkown" I retyped it and seems okay. I just don't see a reason to do this out of the blue. BUG!
How do we report bugs?
Wow, I don't know that one (how do we report bugs?)...
Buehler? Anyone?
...J 😎
LOL Well I understand this is for sharing info and getting issues fixed, but I think if it happens to more than 1 person Apple should have a place to report. I don't have my diagnostics send automatically to them :/ .. oh well. 🙂 if you find out, post it 😀
(sorry I'm on the QC/QA side of bz) 😀
Totally agree, and you found us with the same problem, and recently, sooooo...
See previous response.
(Although sometimes I don't think Apple wants to hear from us directly, hence, the forums...let them figure it out together. LOL)

Happened to me just now.
I rec'd a group text from someone, and this message was on the screen
Apple provides service: http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipho ne - click "How do I get my iPhone serviced?" for options. If mine does it again I will contact them before I add my number.
From Ucello's screenshot and the other reports it appears all of these are on AT&T.
Mine: 5.1.1, purchased from AT&T 2/2012 on contract, locked (not jailbroken in case this is confused with password-protected).
I think it might be better to contact AT&T on the matter rather than Apple. Then again, I have AT&T and can send MMS/SMS perfectly fine.
