Swooping sim

Hi.

I have just had sim only contract with EE,the problem I have is my card was set up with my iPhone 12pro max but I have a Samsung S21 ultra.

I had the number swopped so I still have my old number but when I swop the sim into my S21 it shows the new number not my old number which I have had for years,I did think the number is on the Sim not the phone.

Thanks.

@jace07 Did you receive a new sim ? If you did it can take a few hours for the number to change to the new sim. Have you tried restarting the device?

It's all working fine,5G and everything and yes it was a new sim with a new number on it which i swapped to my old number and all works A1 on my iPhone.

i just wanted to try my S21 with this SIM in but when i do that i get the new number that came on the SIM,it doesn't show my old number but when i change it back to my iPhone it's all fine on my old number.

Hi @jace07

If you call another phone with the SIM in the Samsung, does it show up the old or new number on the caller ID?
