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.

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.
