'My Number' shows as 00 000000000 after replacing my SIM with an esim

Hi,

I replaced my EE SIM with an esim. I have an iPhone and 'My Number' shows as 00 000000000 in the Phone settings. There is no functional issue; if I call someone my +44 7XXXXXXXXX number displays for example. Can I / should I change 00 000000000 to +44 7XXXXXXXXX without breaking my phone?

Mine did the same. It sorted itself out after a while.

It does not matter what no. the phone settings show as long it works in all other ways.

Hi,

mine had done the same after changing to an eSIM.
There is an issue as iMessages can’t link to my phone number - as it’s not there, and replaced with zeros.

Did yours sort itself out?

Yes. I hadn't checked it since posting. But I checked just now and it does show my actual number now. Unfortunately I can't tell you how long it took to do that.
