Incorrect number showing on texts
I kept my previous number when I moved to Smarty but when I send texts, the recipient is getting notifications that the text is from the number that Smarty allocated me while processing the transfer of my previous number.
Any idea how I can this corrected?

This video says at the end network is where number changed. He does put in a random number 000000 presses save. However I did notice like my screen it does not save. https://youtu.be/jTXit6kbzRI?si=t2x5HuYYEbmfpvej

robertc_3189722 Did you ever try a network reset in your Settings? This is normally the recommended solution where the phone holds onto the original allocated sim mobile number.

Hi no I did not. Had a looked, thank you could work I suspect maybe. I went system/app/message remove number- Apple then assigned my original number associated job appears done and working now.

Hi Ger
did the suggested idea work ? Link I followed to iPhone. Allowed me to enter my number. However would not save number. Still retains number on new smarty sim.
- DrummerboytomSMARTY Pioneer05-09-2023I have exactly the same problem - an incorrect and invalid number showing when I text.Phone calls are working perfectly, showing correct phone number so I don't think it is anything to do with the phones settings. I have been with Smarty for six months and all working perfectly until this which has just started happening in the last few days

Drummerboytom In that case, you will need to web chat with Spport Team so that they can look into the details of your account.
Please give them as much info as possible so that they can sort it.

Did you manage to solve the problem with your oneplus 9 as I'm now having the same problem having just joined smartie with my oneplus 9.

MarkPar_2069398 First step is to look at phone settings to see what number is there and change manually if necessary.
Often the phone only remembers the first number allocated to the sim .

Post your phone make and model and someone might have some suggestions.
