My cell number shows as "unknown" on my iPad 3(AT

When I purchased my iPad 3, I used the cloud to back from my previous iPad - an iPad 2. I think this has caused problems with my cellular account. Specifically, when I go to About section of Settings, the cell number now shows as "unknown". When I logged into my AT&T account from the iPad 3, the number shown was the same as the number for my iPad 2, which I obtained in the About section of Settings. Any ideas?

Ive done that for so many times but still my number is unknown. I dont know why. Do you think my network is not supported by apple? Im currently using it here in philippines and also the personal hotspot is not found in my settings.

My phone number shows as unknown in the phone settings

Newly unlocked Rogers iphone 3G now my new provider name appears, i can call, but nobody can call me---my phone number shows as unknown in the phone settings---i have restored to factory settings twice---phone tells me it's unlocked---whats wrong?

Falktr,
That's definitely odd but I understand how frustrating this is, we definitely want to assist you. Is this a Verizon Wireless iPhone? If not, you may experience problems such as this. If it is, please reset the network settings http://vz.to/Q7XEOV. If that doesn't work, please follow these steps http://bit.ly/19vT5qz .

Blackberry malfunction--why is my phone dialing itself (and it actually rings as if it is a caller calling in but my Cell number shows)

two weeks ago my Blackberry did something quite strange
without any person nearby or pushing any buttons the phone rang--I looked to see who it was, and it said my full name and it displayed my full cell number.
I did not answer it. It rang the full number of rings, then the phone stopped, there was no message left. I called my network Customer service and they could not explain this, except to ask me if I use Bluetooth. I do not and it is not enabled on my phone.
It happened again today, with no person nearby who could have pushed any buttons.
Do I have a virus? I have had Blackberry models for years, and never had this happen to any handset.
I do not download/upload anything except Blackberry updates.
I also never dial my own number to access voicemail, I jsut dial 123 for Vmail.
So can anyone explain this? Much appreciated.

The phone doesn't hav a virus, but that is strange.
Do a battery pull first.
Do you have yourself as a contact? if so, delete your info for a bit to see what happens if this call happens again.
if this happens again, I recommend you answer to see who is calling. That way its logged with the carrier so they can do some investigation, trace, etc.

Yes, better to post in the correct forum, this is the "Logic-Pro" software forum.

How can I make my number show up as an "unknown caller"?

I have an HTC Rezound and I would like to have my number show up to other callers as an "unknown" caller. How can I do this from my phone?

I can think of SEVERAL reasons, with not wanting to give out your cell # as the top one on the list.
For example if you are using your personal phone for business, you would not necessarily want people calling you for business reasons at all hours of the night. Once your number gets out, it is hard to put the genie back in the bottle.
I have several coworkers that would prefer not letting their personal numbers get out to half of the people they contact through their jobs.

Open contacts list, favourites should be at the top of list with stars by them, select the one you want to unfavourite, long hold and a pop up menu gives you the options to call-send message-Remove from favourites_send as contact card-Delete-or Mark. Chose the option to remove from favourites and they won't show on home screen any more !

HT204053 the wrong cell phone number shows up on my ipad

The wrong cell phone number shows up on my ipad when I put in my apple id. I have got to my apple.com and changed my phone number and it still won't change. I have even reset my iPad to correct it and didn't work. UGH! Help!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Are you referring to messaging, it sounds as though you are sharing your ID with others.

TS2326 Under settings my number is showing as unknown. Can this be edited

Under settings, my phone number is showing as unknown. Can this be edited? Do I have to rE-sync with ITunes?

This is an account setting and not an iPhone setting option. You may need to look in My Verizon or contact Verizon to see if this was something added to or activated on the account

Cellular data number shows unknown

My cellular data number is displayed as "unknown". How do I correct this.

@robdrage. Thanks for your comment. You are correct that in this user to user forum I can't expect Apple or my carrier to answer the question and I don't. The comment was not directed at them (sorry that it sounded that way) but that I have yet to find a statement on either companies site regarding the number and my first contact with my carrier was not helpful.
The entry is more about correcting some misinformation about "Hidden Data" and "Does not have a Cell Number" in this post. The Cell Number is actually "burned" to SIM by some carriers (not all), because the cellular number on the card is not required for the handshake, therefore some don't do it or forget. The SIM card can (iPhones do not) also carry information about what services you have, messages and phonebooks. Some people actually in an "unlocked" world switch phones by swapping the SIM.

I cannot change my "show caller ID". Under my number it says "Unknown", and I cannot change it. Under "shoe my caller ID" I cannot turn it on and off. Can you help me? THanks

Hello,
Tried rebooting and updating, doesn't work. There is no problem with calling and receiving calls, but my number is blocked, and I cannot turn it on or change it in settings. Can this be fixed?
Thanks

My bill show text messages from my cell number sent to my cell number what is that about

MMy bill shows text messages from my cell number sent to my number what does that mean

Jackie, this usually happens when the number that was texting you was blocked or unavailable. The billing system uses your own number as sort of a placeholder. It could be another reason, but as far as I know, that's the reason.

Show my cell number when calling and still reacha...

Hi,
I have activated so my cell phone number is showed when making skype out calls.
I also want to activate a "skype in" number so people can call me on skype using a Swedish number.
If I activate "skype in", can I still make calls on "skype out" and that the reciever of the call sees my cell number? I don't want the "skype" in number to be showed.
I would like to know this before enabling "skype in". Thanks in advance!

TS2755 When I iMessage, I type in my friends name, then select her cell number that is in my contacts. When I start the iMessage, her husband's name shows up as the default name for who I am messaging. How do I change it so that her name shows up?

When I iMessage, I type in my friend's name, then select her cell number from my contacts. When I start the iMessage, her husband's name automatically fills in as the default name. My friend is getting the iMessage, but this is confusing to me, the sender. I want her name to automatically be the default when I select her cell number. How do I change this?
