After switching SIM or provider, your Samsung may still display the old number. Here’s how to update it.
Steps
- Open the Phone app
- Tap the three dots (menu) > Settings
- Scroll to My phone number or Edit
- Update with your new number
If the Number Won’t Update
- Toggle Airplane Mode on and off — this forces the network to push the correct number
- Restart your phone
- Check SIM Manager — Settings > Connections > SIM Manager — the correct number should show next to your SIM/eSIM
Note: The displayed number is just a label. Your actual phone number is determined by the SIM/eSIM profile from your network, not the number shown in settings.
If the wrong number persists, contact your network provider — they can push the correct number to your SIM over the air.
