Dear Samsung Members,

Can you please help and advise how to update the phone number (currently showing Unknown) as I tried hard to update the phone number but couldn't find the way to edit :(

Please see the screenshot.....

Thanks :)

This is just showing whether your phone number is saved to the phone number description property on your SIM card. Some networks always program this in for you, many don't. Some phones let you write to this property, some don't, some read it, some don't.

It has nothing to do with what actual phone number is attached to that SIM card by the phone company.

It is possible to put your phone number in there, and is easier than you might think:

Go into Contacts -> [Menu] -> More -> Settings -> Own numbers -> [Menu] -> Create and type your phone number into the Number field, now Save.

Then switch your phone off and on again, and it should show the correct number (or whatever number you entered) in the status now.


see, solution wohi hai ki contact me save karo, apne aap ho jaata hai..but ye service provider pe bhi depend karta hai

Mostly hota to pehle jo mention kiya hai usi se..ki contact me jaakr apne.profile pe click kark edit karo aur apna number daal do..ho sakta hai ye network provider ka chakkar ho.
