How to change my dispalayed Phone Number on Storm

Ok what exactly is the point of this?

Cuz i never heard of it and im very interested...

wow,,never knew you can do that

I get an invalid password message when I try to dial ##000000 to change my dispaly number.

Any help on how I can work around that?

I tried ##111111 for bell and now I get a message sayign somethign like usage of unlock code exceeded number of tries. Is that it my my device or is there still hope.

There is a way, but you have to downgrade to OS 4.7.0.76 and then extract the code via a 3rd party PC program.

PM or email Leafan (earlier in the thread) as he had to do this with his Storm, and knows the programs and whatnot.

I can go into the menu on my 9530 i change the number hit save and then nothing that is it will not reboot and if i hit back asks if i want to discard changes.

hey :) does anyone know the code for fido? im having the same problem.

- 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 !

can you explain more please..are you saying i have to downgrade my tour to os4.7.0.76 before the "##000000" and "##111111" will work?

Thank you for help posted in this thread.
I too had the same problem of my Storm showing 'my number' incorrectly. Using the ##000000 worked great, my number now shows properly and 'Activation Required' has now changed to 'Orange'

My phone was bought 'new' from Verizon in the Dominican Republic. 'New' in the Dom Rep can mean anything from: graded, damaged, returned, ex contract, repaired, reboxed etc, from the US usually. It was sold as unlocked and the guy in the shop 'proved it' with my Orange sim.

I have another problem now that neither the Verizon store nor Orange are prepared to help with. I am on a budget voice only plan that can be topped up with PAYG cards but I am unable to top it up. Any number that starts with a '#' or '*' such as whats needed to top up the phone or get a balance gives me a message from Orange that the number dialled is incorrect or incomplete.

When I edited the 'my number' with ##000000 I noticed other info in there that relates to Telus Mobility. MMC 302 and MNC 86. So, my question is, is it safe to change these to the ones that represent my Orange Dominicana carrier? (MMC 370, MNC 01) If I do, are there other settings that must be changed too. Is this likely to be the cause of my problem?

Thanks very much
