My number is appearing in a foreign format, its format is now XXX-XXX-XXXXX

In the About Phone section the number

For some reason it now appears in what I imagine is an American format.

Could there be any reason for this?

Hi @liam-43.

Did you get this phone directly from EE?

Has it only just recently happened?

No but as its a SIM issue I thought it would be applicable here.
The phone number was reading as a standard UK format until this issue arose

Did you get the phone from the UK, @liam-43?

Have you tried a factory reset?

Thanks @liam-43.

I'm not sure what may have caused this to happen.

A factory reset would be the next thing I'd suggest.
