Could you have the same problem I have are you using a laptop or tablet
Afaik iPads don’t have calling option (yet) so wouldn’t show a number & if it does it’s for billing purposes only.

If you insert it into a phone does the number then show?
Have you checked under your own entry under Contacts?Hi thanks for the input. Works ok in my phone come to the same conclusion as you that it recognises it as a tablet and not a phone. What a kerfuffle MSF also thanks for the input. A little guidance was all I needed
Have you reset the network settings?
Similar problem new SIM card using new number NOT ported works with internet 3.5 GB Download ed ok registered with SMARTYapp and new number but shows in "general - mobile data number in iPad as unknown." 10 GB for £5 deal
ianstra1100 I'm not sure that I fully understand what you are saying here.
At a guess, I wonder if your device is showing the number originally allocated to the sim when you registered. It has not updated to the number you ported in from your previous network. A Network Reset in device Settings should cure it.
Sorry this is not the same as porting I'm using the new number from the SIM I was sent by SMARTY. I've tried resetting the network no cheese. I've waited for 24hrs for the system to resolve the issue itself ( as when porting) reset the network again just and no result it still says "unknown" number anyone any other ideas pls
Even though it shows unknown the SIM must be interacting since it downloaded 3.5GB to my tablet without it and deducted the data used from my allowance.
