Phone number doesn't show up in setting

  • Hello, 

I was able to transfer my number from the previous provider to public mobile.

However, under the phone settings-sim card, my phone number is showing as unknown.

Will it be updated or it's normal???

I bought a subscription two days ago. 

Thanks.

I really hoped it would work.

But no... 🥲 But thank you.

On one of our lines when we transferred I had to turn off the eSIM and then back on and it worked after that.  Just another thing you could try if you have not already.

Hi 

I just tried resetting network but still doesn't recognize my number lol

I don't know what happens here

 

But thank you for your help

HI @Yurara 

it is physical sim,right?   if it is , take the sim out and put it back

if eSIM, no, you cannot "reinstall"

Can I reinstall the sim ? Oh I don't know how.. Hmm. 

I may need to contact public mobile service centre.

Thanks

I downloaded E-sim so I don't have a physical SIM card... 😞

and @Yurara 

try also "reset all networks" on your phone, it will refresh everything with the carrier, it might fix the problem

HI @Yurara 

do you have another phone? put the sim there and test

or if you just have the pixel phone , take the sim out and put it back after and check

@Yurara 

it's a long shot but try removing the sim..then re-installing. See if that kick-starts everything to work properly.

Yes it's working fine.just the sim doesn't recognize my phone number.

I am using pixel 4a. I restarted the phone numerous times but still showing unknown. 

I am not sure I can manually update it.

Thanks 👍
