How to change my dispalayed Phone Number on Storm

**bugsbunny007** · 04-13-2009, 01:37 PM

I bought a Storm that was on Verizon Network, unlocked it and am using with att now. However the "my number" displayed in the phone application still shows the old Verizon Phone number. How do I change it? I am not able to click on it to change.

Any help will be appreciated.

Dont know if this will work but try this

Options>advanced options>SIM card

then press the Blackberry button, then select edit SIM phone number

Let me know if it works or if someone could confirm that this is the right way please post.

Can't change it, as it is set by Verizon when the phone is programed.

You can change it but you have to make sure you DON"T change any other settings in this menu

Dial ##000000

**** ONLY Change: Mobile Directory Number to your phone number and that's all
Then the BB menu button and save it

Your number will then appear

- with the cell connection turned on,
- go to the dial pad, enter ##000000 and hit the dial button
- this will bring up a config screen
- hit the delete button to remove the number in the "Mobile Directory Number" field at the top, and replace it with your cell number with no 1 or dashes
- hit the menu button and select save
- the phone will reset and you can now log in once the phone reboots

enjoy !

Thanks a lot!!! It worked.

Would this change the number displayed on someone else's caller ID if I were to call them?

Sweet!!!!

I've been looking all over the place for a fix for this particular issue..... you da man!

Though I noticed there is an "Area Code" field, can I change this one too or just change the "Mobile Directory Number"?

Thanks again!

Thanks again

Morning All..... anyone have a way to "CRACK" the BB Msgr yet? Also it won't let me upgrade my software for my Unlocked BB Storm to the new OS 5.0 any thoughts?

**missionone** · 12-12-2009, 06:41 PM

Hi: There

I have tried ##000000 and it gives me an invalid password message. I am on Fido network and the phone is from Telus (unlock)

Thanks
Danny

**elkhourys** · 12-29-2009, 04:00 AM

i have the same problem on my curve 8520, but ##000000 is not opening the phone config screen.

is there a way to open the phone config screen on Curve 8520?

Thank you

**miacrack** · 12-30-2009, 05:44 PM

I get the same problem (invalid password) but with a Curve 8330. It was on the Sprint network. Anyone ideas crackberry gurus?

I know that Bell's is ##111111. Not sure if that will work with a Telus-branded phone though. Can't hurt to try.

**Leafan** · 12-31-2009, 11:09 AM

Well I am on Bell and ##111111 doesn't work with my phone.... From what I understand ##111111 is the default, used for initial activation. After initial activation the MSL password is different for each phone!!
And Bell can't locate mine.

so my Storm is now useless!!

Hello all,
I'm also a happy camper because I found this fix thnks, but here is a new challange, it seems that even though I was able to go through the process listed above and change the old Verizon's number to my number, I steel get this "number unobtainable" error message whenever I try to make a call from my Storm from my Contacts list, the only way I can call is by dialing (ounching in) all the numbers and then pressing Send. I cannot even send sms messages to my contacts...
Can someone help me? I am sure I am not the only one having this issue!

**sourkevin** · 01-25-2010, 07:20 PM

curious if this will work on my 9000... the ##000000 doesnt work... but the sim card setting...

i wanna start putting out my google voice number instead of my cell...

**cdowner** · 01-26-2010, 09:04 AM

I think that ##000000 is the Verizon one, not sure if its the case with AT&T

What do the other settings apply for? Just network stuff?
