User number

Please help!!

I've just upgraded to the Z5. My own number on my contacts list is set at 00 0000000000 and it won't let me edit it to change it! I've worked out how to manually sync contacts profile pics from FB onto my contacts list, but it won't let me do it on my own contact details. (Basically, in text messaging, pics of my contacts are there, but I can't link mine to do the same).

Any ideas please? Thanks in advance 🙂

@HateNewPhones

could you elaborate a bit more on the steps that you have taken to edit the number?

I'll do my best!

When I click onto my contacts list on home page, "myself" is at the top (under ICE) and the number in there is set at 0's and I can't edit it. Would it be something to do with the original settings when you first turn the phone on?

Settings > apps > all > phone > clear data > restart the phone > check again

I don't know if this will help, but when I go into settings, users, my number is all 0's in that too?

Go to setting click support below about phone there it's an option to enter your number have you tried that?

The number with 0's may perhaps be what your operator has programmed as your number on the SIM-card. You can check this from Settings -> About phone -> Status -> SIM status -> My phone number.
I'm afraid i don't know of any way to change this number from the phone but having no or wrong number here should not cause any issue.
