Hi @Glyndwr45,

Welcome to the EE Community. 🙂

Do you mean the recipient sees the temporary number when you reply to them?

Are these being sent as standard SMS or RCS messages?

James

Yes and RCS

Hi @Glyndwr45,

Does your phone show your temporary number in about phone in it's settings?

If it does, are you able to edit it?

James

No, it shows my correct number.

Could you try turning off RCS, restarting your phone then turning it back on @Glyndwr45?

James

Hi James,

Well, I've tried it and it seems to have problems verifying my number for
RCS. It does say that it can take up a day, so I'm going to leave it for
now and see, but if it doesn't work I will just turn off RCS since I'm not
a great messenger and can always use WhatsApp, etc for more complex things.

Thanks for your help.
