Text message problem
- 28-12-2022
You may need to check the settings on your phone. It should show 'My Number' somewhere (depends if iPhone or Android) and you should change it to show the correct number.
It is sometimes incorrect as the phone picks up the number from the sim when you insert it - in this case it is possibly the number that came with the sim and it did not register when you transferred your own number over to the phone (because the sim didn't physically change).
Hope this helps.
Turn off FaceTime & iMessage/your phone’s messaging & then do a network reset. Once complete turn on messaging again & your ported number will show.
Just joined Smarty & had the same problem.

Goddess_Bastet Curious that this only applies to one of the contacts? We often see the problem, but it is usually the same for all calls and texts.

Thanks. My reply was for everyone in the thread with the problem I had. As for this just affecting 1 contact that is strange.
