Good Morning @WingMan.
If the number is saved within your contacts this should show with what you have saved the number as.
Are you able to try this and let me know if it works?
Speak soon,
Katie 🙂

Hi @WingMan
Welcome to the community.
What do you mean by alter the name?
Is your new device not showing up yet?

my account such as phones and mini WiFi routers and would like to rename
them to ensure that I keep track of who in my family is using the device.
There is a way to alter the name of the device to show it in the app with
the updated name but I can’t recall how to do it ???
Thanks again.

Hi @Teddypaws
Thanks for coming to the community.
Your My EE app will update to the correct device after a little while of using the phone and logging into the app.
Could you try logging into the app using data not Wifi.
Thanks 🙂
Leanne.

Hi @Teddypaws,
The device name will update automatically given time. It's purely cosmetic and doesn't affect any My EE features.
Thanks
James
